First of all, let's face it, nobody really expected this remake version to come even near to the original, right?
I enjoyed this drama on it's own way, though not the best drama I watched, as it is difficult not to compare to the original.
The story evolved mostly the same way as in the original, though there were some clever solutions not to copy the story (Geun-Suk's cameo... some funny moments).
The acting... The fist character I approved of was Ren, a cute guy, actually, I liked his acting throughout the series a lot, at first I was thinking 'God, he'll kill himself trying to look and sound like Tae-Kyoung' but then I discovered his own charm. I fell in love with his smile, actually.
The next character I came to like was Mio/Miko (don't make me compare her to Minam/Shin-Hye, ok? just please). I'm just saying, she got into the role very well, and she did great job on her own. The next character I like is the president, he had a lot of funny moments, I enjoyed his scenes, especially his last scene with Miko.
Now to the bad part... I didn't like all other characters... Shu... boring, not deep enough, I couldn't see or sense his love and loss every time (again I compared, but I can't help remembering Sin Woo's face and my breaking heart for him, though at that time Yong-Hwa wasn't even acting that good). Yuuki... overcuteness made him not cute at all, honestly, when I try to remember any scenes with him, he just disappears from the scene, when others are around (and remember Jeremy, and his acting, he was a total scene stealer!)NaNa...oh, come on, her voice just got on my nerves...and her friend/make-up artist, he was just gross (I'm sorry to say this, every scene with that guy, I just closed my eyes/ears, couldn't hear his screeply voice and see his overly thin face).
Back to good things :) I loved the piano score very-very much! It fit the drama perfectly!
Once again, not the best drama I watched, but it had its own good moments.
