Hey, we do have quite a few similar favourites, hey :-). What was your heartbreaking moment in King 2 Hearts? What made me cry was when the brother died, and when Eun Si Kyung died and he had his hologram moment with the Princess. So well done, and so sad :-(

I can't tell if you're serious or trolling...

It's going to be online.

I would be happy if they could just have one scene where Domyouji actually apologises to Makino and everyone else for all of the trouble he caused her/them. I don't want them to have Domyouji arrested or anything like that because I still think it wouldn't fit into the story properly, but at least an apology and an acceptance of his wrongdoings would be something.

Yeah, they've said they'll be following the manga, not any of the drama versions.

City Hunter is a pretty common story that's probably already been done a bunch of times. I don't really watch those kind of shows but I'm sure they're around.

The thing is though, the violence is very much a part of the manga/story. So i don't know if they can take much of that away from it, if they're doing a relatively loyal adaptation. I mean, they will, because you're right, it's utterly unacceptable. But i worry that when they do, it's going to make it Hana Yori Dango, the Nickelodeon version.

I've read down all of the comments, and they've answered two of these. 1 season of 16 episodes of 55 minutes length, and they're hoping to air it online in November. I don't know about the common scenes. I'm hoping they have the scenes we all expect, at least.

Yeah, I never got whether he actually ordered someone to rape her or not. I thought he did in the manga, but then in every TV adaptation, he always told them to just scare her, and it was them that decided rape would be a good way of doing that.

I'm actually the opposite. I did think it sweet how Domyouji never really thought of Makino in a sexual way, but it was also unrealistic. I'd be happy for an American version to change that aspect of their relationship. If they can make it more obvious how Makino feels about Domyouji, I'd like that as well.

Same, i prefer the friend in Boys over Flowers over the friend in Hana Yori Dango. That whole storyline was something that they changed from the original manga that I actually liked.

Yep, i want to ask question number 1 as well. There's gotta be more skinship in an American remake, otherwise what's the point? And presumably they'd have to do the waiting in the rain scene because that's the most iconic scene from the manga/dramas.

EDIT: They answered this further down, lol. There will be makeout scenes but no sex. It's PG13.

Oh hey, you finished Cruel City. I saw your comment on Meg's wall. I think Shi Hyun died because everything about his life had been pointless. And he couldn't go back to being a cop because he had been a criminal for too long. He'd killed people as part of his cover. He couldn't stay a criminal though, because that's not really who he was. I think him dying was really all that was left.

The last couple episodes were oddly paced, and Shi Hyun started suddenly using guns instead of knives, lol. I put that down to them just running out of time, and also the actor playing Shi Hyun was very badly injured and in need of rest. He was on heavy painkillers during the last few weeks of filming, the poor guy.

I'd never heard of Fairy Tail but I looked it up, it sounds like fun. I should check it out, I think :-)

I'm in a bit of a drama slump as well. I wonder if it's just that time of year, lol

I know, how good is Cruel City! I was amazed at how much i thoroughly enjoyed it. I marathoned the first 18 episodes in a day, lol. I'm gonna start watching a Japanese drama next, i think i need a little break from the k-dramas.

And woot, Big Bang next week, it looks like a fun episode too.

Hey hey, I'm only watching Master's Sun at the moment. I haven't watched anything else, drama wise, in a few weeks. At one point, I was watching about 11 dramas at once, lol, and then one by one they finished, and i didn't start anything new. I just watched the idol episode of Running Man, have you watched that yet? So funny!

Lol, someone has already rated this? Why don't you let them at least release the whole cast first, geez

I was discussing this with someone the other day. How, every drama character is always ambitious or at least, wants to do well at their job. There's no one that is just like "meh, i did enough to keep me employed", which is what I'm like. Dramas haven't changed me, but at least i've acknowledged that i'm totally lazy and have no ambition, lol

So many of the problems with this drama are really just the problems with the manga. Everything is so over the top, and the Gu Jun Pyo character is such a douche, but that's all straight from the manga. The amnesia, the evil mum, all of that. So i find it hard to dislike this version because of what was in the source material.
