And here I am still waiting on any kind of adaption for Vampire Knight, Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama or Special A.
Heck, I'd give anything for another go at a Skip Beat! adaptation.
Kept watching Yamada Yuki and trying to figure out why he looked so familiar. My beloved Kin-chan!
I would have given this movie a higher score if the ending didn't feel so...long. I'm not that fond of Fukushi Sota's character to be honest. He felt a little flat. But overall, a cute story! And the ending song is really lovely, definitely downloading.
I have to say - one of the reasons I wanted to watch this drama in the first place is because the female lead isn't presented as physically perfect. She has splotchy red cheeks and bushy short hair that's not the ideal in dramaland where sleek shiny hair and luminous skin are presented as the norm. But Hye Jin is pretty in her own way in body and personality and I love her fighting spirit. I like Hye Jin with her determination and bright-eyed enthusiasm and I hope if there is a change to her appearance, she does it for herself and not to please anyone else.
I'm biased because I love this novel and its adaptations SO MUCH but I adored this movie. A new twist on the story!…
Hi there, I'm very sorry for my late reply, haven't been on MDL for some time.
In addition to the link Humbledaisy posted, if you google "bu bu jing xin translation" you'll find parts of the novel translated as well. One site had up to chapter 8 translated (http://bubujingxinenglish.blogspot.co.uk) but unfortunately, I've never been able to find the entire novel online.
Had to post a second comment about this spoiler because what the what what.
The ending! I mean, of all the ways one could choose to commit suicide! Really?! You take poison and then go have sex with the man you propose to love so much only to convince him to hurry your death along and help you out by strangulation?!
Yeah, that was indeed a sentence I never thought I'd have to type.
No, but forcing the man you love to watch you die and then begging him to strangle you? Seems like a kind of counterproductive method of suicide.
This must have cost a good deal to make but it's so visually beautiful I can't complain!
To be perfectly honest though, I was a bit weirded out by the story (you'd think I'd be used to it by now after watching so many historical dramas) so I didn't enjoy it as much as I guess I could have. I feel somewhat like I just marathoned a 35 episode drama - there was that much happening in this movie.

K-Drama 
Really looking forward to some of these though!
Also, my heart breaks for Shin Hyeok ;-;

I'm crying over Shin Hyuk's awesomeness. Siwon is gold in this drama!
