My 2 weeks holiday is half-gone! Well, almost. Happy days do pass by faster than miserable days. I proudly proclaim that I have used up quite a part of my valuable time to watch dramas. Was just going to take a glimpse only but series are series, the train doesn't come to a halt easily. What I watched was Hana Yori Dango's korea version which is still in the filming process, trying to compare it with the japan and taiwan versions.
For me, its storyline is quite similar to Japan's. The school, from Eitoku Academy to Shinhwa College, is equally And the cast, hmm..I didn't like the fact that they changed all the characters' names.Tsukasa Domyoji - Goo Joon Pyo, Hanazawa Rui - Yoon Ji Hoo, Tsukushi Makino - Geum Jan Di. Putting that aside, their acting skills are pretty average. Main lead Lee Min Ho is doing a good job but somehow, the girl seems to overact a bit. The way she eats is way too clumsy and her screaming..uhh, but after all, she's a newbie. Same thing with Hyun Joong playing Ji Hoo@Rui - slightly off character at first but he's improving gradually. I still prefer him singing though, the drama stylist doesn't make him look as nice as usual. The rest are alright.
Another drama I'm 'chasing' after is Hana Kimi Japan version. (What's with all the 'Hana'?) This drama sure is hilarious, send me in fits of laughter. It's a rare for me - that I like majority of the cast in the drama. Maybe it's because there are practically no antagonists? But all the same, they are fab. Maki as tomboy Mizuki, Oguri as cold Sano and Toma as noisy cheery Nakatsu. Together with the other high-school boys, they bring out a silly but heartwarming story. Yes, they are really crazy, absolutely an abnormal school with a gay school doctor. End of the day, it's still worth a watch thanks to perfect acting and funny twists.
