P.S. read at your own risk. will contain major spoilers.

          i love what they did in this remake. no frills. i was actually satisfied with 11 episodes. i also like their choice of actors.
          i know Tamamori Yuta's waaaaaaay behind Jang Geun Suk in terms of looks (oh yea well i never really liked Geun Suk's nose) but i think he did better as Ren, especially when he does that irritated/lip pouting face. it looks very natural, unlike when i was watching JGS, he looks like he's trying hard to be cute. okay don't get me wrong, i still love JGS but i'm trying not to be biased here. and because of this drama, i giggle whenever i see Yuta hahaha. XDDD
          as for the other actors, i think Fujigaya Taisuke did good too as Shu, same with Jung Yong Hwa as Shin Woo. i can't say who's better, i think they're equal. as for Yaotome Hikaru, okay i love this adorable fellow and i think he did his best as Yuki but there's something missing, i still think that Lee Hong Ki did better as Jeremy.
          Miko/Mio is prettier than Mi Nam/Mi Nye haha. oh and i like UEE as Hye Yi too better than Haruna as Nana. i think Hye Yi's more annoying.


My Ratings: i'll give this one 7.5/10 :)
