Sadly, not as good as the original. You're Beautiful will forever hold that spot in my heart, and usually I love remakes (especially of iconic scenes and tropes), but this one just left a bad taste in my mouth (sadly, especially when it came to the iconic scenes).
Where the story was the same I wanted it to be different, and where the story was different, I wanted it to be the same.
I'm not exactly sure why, but this drama really just made it clear to me that there IS a wrong way to do an adaptation/remake.
The acting was not stellar, it was just ok and even a little amateur.
From what I remember of the music (I've already forgotten a lot of it), the better versions can simply be found in the soundtrack to the Korean version.
I believe the thing I was most upset about was the adaptation of the character Jeremy. He just was not up to par AT ALL with any of the other Jeremys I've seen. And it'll sound really harsh (supa sorry) but he should be ashamed try and compare himself to Lee Hong Ki's Jeremy. It just feels like the Great Value version of an attempt at the originally complex, beautiful role.
Anyway, nothing really to see here. Very average, slightly less so. I would only recommend if you were a SUPER MEGA DIE HARD FAN of the general story of You're Beautiful/Ikemen Desu Ne, already knowing that each adaptation is an entirely new drama on it's own. And if you weren't as in love with Lee Hong Ki's Jeremy as I.
