Great so far, doesn't have the crazyness the Japanese drama had though. Also missing Oscar-sama :(
the wackiness of the japanese version was what made it great. they didn't take themselves seriously bc well, the story is ridiculous when you think about it.
i think that air of self awareness is what makes the japanese version (first one) my favorite.
-why are they making the gay guy (nakao in the japanese version) an asshole? part of the reason why hana kimi was enjoyable was that it was all friendly rivalry and no real jerks were in the drama.
-the beginning was confusing. so she went over there after seeing him jump on tv? what about that whole deal of him saving her and hurting his ankle? and her coming over to the school out of guilt/responsibility?! maybe they'll go into that later but that first half of the ep made her look like more of an insane stalker.
-they kept the doctor gay (or it's inferred) but i guess since akiha is now sano's manager we're getting no akiha / doctor hijinx. bummer. hopefully they manage to work it in there.
I loved the Japanese version, but let's be honest, Korean dramas tend to have WAY better style (wardrobe and interior).…
yeah but it's mostly all style and little substance. i was weirded out how their dorm looked like one of the boxes SM has their groups dance in. lol.
changes in the plot are kinda worrisome because the first ep glosses over her reasons for going over there in the first place. she looks like more of an insane stalker than the japanese version.
i think all the streaming sites took it down but if you can do torrents, d-addicts (subs are on the site up till ep 9 i believe). if you want direct download doramax264.com might have some live links.
good luck!

heheh you're the first person to actually get who my icon was :-D
i loved this drama bc it showed an realistic depiction of an emotional and physical abuser and how the cycle continues. i'm glad none of her friends sided with the abuser and helped her throughout the entire ordeal without victim blaming. it's important when one is dealing with such a shitty situation to have a good support system. bless the network for being sympathetic to DV survivors.
but this is a small aside: i was so irritated she couldn't even return that wedding dress bc of all that blood on it. asshole move, sousuke.
For those who are currently watching this and have watched the Japanese version, which one is better? :)
japanese version by a longshot. i love korean dramas however, i kinda hate seeing korean adaptations of japanese dramas bc i think the korean drama format tends to drag things out unnecessarily in order to stretch the source material.
even though they had 2 seasons of jin and a completed manga (the manga was ongoing at the end of the second season), i figured the script writers would be able to give us a better product.
