Actually, I don't know what to write about this drama.. The truth is, I started watching To The Beautiful You, solely because I'm a hardcore fan of Minho. I've watched the Japanese & Taiwanese version a long time ago, and I thought both of them are great.. So, even though I didn't have much expectation, I decided to give it a try.. Story: yeah, basically it's romance comedy all the way. Korean version always have those different kind of vibe when they remakes a drama. I can't help but comparing with 2 other versions. This Korean version is more likely a romance, different with the other versions (especially the Japanese one) which more likely focused on comedy. The story itself is predictable, since, I've watched the other versions as well. Although I didn't feel that the story was dragged, sometimes, I feel like there were quiet a lot unnecessary scenes here and there. But as it is for the sake of the "comedy" genre, I didn't really mind though.. Acting: Minho did a good job in my opinion (regardless I'm a fangirl of Minho :p) IMO, he portrays the arrogant Kang TaeJoon really well. As for Sulli, I have to say that she's not as good as the other version's. I don't know, but IMO Sulli didn't really give the "guy" vibe. Different from Horikita Maki (Japanese), which I think, the best one among 3.. Lee Hyun Woo really did a great job too there. Even though I feel like his character is a bit more gloomy compared with the other version's. From the supporting roles, I especially likes Kim Ji Won, even though her character is irritating.. LOL.. Her acting was good.. Music: I think SMent just going overboard by releasing an OST album every week in the earlier episodes. But actually IMO, there are just a few outstanding songs, and some just barely heard along the dramas (or it's me who didn't notice). Only a few songs fit the atmosphere of the scene.. I especially like some songs like Sunny & Luna's, Taeyeon's, and Taemin's. Rewatch Value: beside I didn't usually rewatch anything I've watched, even if I like to rewatching dramas, honestly I would prefer to rewatch the Japanese version.. Overall, I can't recommend this drama though.. Except if: - you are a fangirl of Minho, just like me (even though there are a lot of times when the romance scenes come, I would feel like throwing anything on my computer screen) - you like to watch Boys Before Flower (since they come from the same director) - or... if you insisted to watch.. yeah, well, go ahead.. LOL
