I do sincerely recommend you to watch this movie but please watch the J-drama version Kimi wa Petto first! You will much more appreciate this movie if you do! :)
4/10
Acting/Cast [9/10] - The movie really only centers around two characters, whose actors Kim Ha Neul and Jang Geun Suk perform their roles superbly.
Music [10/10] - The music is just divine! Jang Geun Suk sings quite a lot of songs and if you're like me, you'll probably relisten to those songs a million times in a loop after you watched the movie!
Rewatch value [7/10] - I really do like this movie and the overall cuteness makes me really happy after finishing watching it. I've seen this movie 2 times now and I don't usually rewatch movies/dramas so I definitely think you can enjoy rewatching it. :D
Go for it! ;D

First of all the cast: okay, at first I was a little bit disappointed by Ashiya's obvious fail at acting like a guy. (Really.. come on that voice! o_O) but then you get gradually used to it so it sinks back into the background and well she's a girl so I suppose that's fine ^-^
then, I guess a lot of people criticized Miura Shohei's Nakatsu..? Well, I loooved him! Damn, that boy is good at acting! and he played Nakatsu's part so well! I know it should be damn hard to beat Ikuta Toma to his work, but Miura was just different and did an awesome job.
Then, Nakamura Aoi didn't quite fit Sano's character as well as I wanted it to be but that was mainly because of my biased opinion after seeing him in Beck, it just mixed up the characters for me and I kind of got lost *-*
Supporting roles were awesome too. Especially Kiriyama Renn as Nanba Minami (oh so handsome~), Saito Takumi as the school doctor (*-*), and
Tokuyama Hidenori as Oscar.
The music: I don't especially remember all of the music, but I was kind of surprised to hear pieces of the Spirited Away OST (if I am not mistaken...), it fitted in really well and I loved it :D
The rewatch value: to be honest I'm not really a person who rewatches dramas but here I'll certainly watch a random episode of this drama once in a while, just to get that atmosphere back, to see those characters again,... I think it's an excellent drama if you feel down and need to be cheered up :D
So, I would just say: Don't be too prejudiced, forget a little about the previous version(s) you know and just watch & enjoy this amazing drama!
