That's how I'm starting to feel about it now -_-

It looks like they changed all the names of the St. Blossom's students, but there's still only 4 characters. I guess no more "Hibari 4" ? This one is probably going to be even less like the manga by the sounds of it

That's how I'm feeling about it haha. Just to see what it's all about, makes me nervous about watching it now though

*hopes that SMENT will put Amber to main role*

I also hope that Japanese version would have different character names since we've seen the "story of Ashiya Mizuki"



Amber is visually a good choice but she speaks broken Korean and has no acting experience... Sulli and yuna probably have the most acting experience out of the SM idols...

I don't like that it is restricted to SM only.. Wish they weren't producing it..

yeah but she could be the perfect since "Mizuki" is also from California/America. And I don't want to see SNSD members to take main roles...

yeah same here D: but if they're gonna produce it they better make GOOD casting and not SNSD members D:

I'd like it if they'd make auditions for totally new actors

This is something I don't like about many of the popular Japanese (and maybe Korean?) dramas. It's total idol overload. In some cases they just cast an entire group in a drama. I would like to see the performances of new actors, and also the change in dynamic that would come from mixing a cast of people with different life experiences.
I wonder why nobody is doing a Taiwan remake? I mean, they've already done a Japanese drama and a Korean one, but they're doing another Japanese instead of letting Taiwan try?

The Taiwan version was the original one that came out first (might be why it's the one closest to the manga - who knows?).

This is making me nervous!! -_- Same theme song as the original? So far it looks like the original but with different people. Although Sano was carrying her in the preview so does that mean he finds out she's a girl the way he's actually supposed to? I wanna see it now just to see what it's going to be about -_-

SM also have actresses like Lee Yeon Hee and Go Ara... I'm kind of hoping for Sulli because she played a tough tomboy in punch lady and her acting was amazing

Totally agree. This preview has "FAIL" written all over it. I swear the girl makes the same facial expressions as Horikita. She also sounds a little like her too. As far as ikemen are concerned, this one was lacking. There were like 2 or 3 hot guys, everyone else was a dud. Kinda sad for a drama with the tagline: ikemen paradise, lol
The preview looks good. It has some new scenes too. BUT Maeda Atsuko doesn't sound as otokoppoi like Maki did...
