To The Beautiful You vs Hana Kimi

So, I've recently started watching the korean version of Hana Kimi, and let me tell you, it's quite different from the original. Remeber in Hana Kimi when Mizuki is running the marathon, she gets injured by someone stepping on her foot with cleats and her foot starts bleeding, but she runs anyways? Well, in Hana Kimi, Mizuki doesn't win the race and Sano rushes in to carry her to the doctor's office, Nakatsu helps too. Not to mention there's a whole backstory with his grandma being ill.

In To The Beautiful You, Sulli ( already forgot her character's name, uhh...) actually wins the race, and she doesn't injure her foot in the same way (she sprains it). Also, in TTBY I don't see Dorm 3 being as funny. Dorm 3, Oscaaaar!

Is it funny that in both dramas I wanted the lead to end up with Nakatsu/Lee Hyunwoo?? Sorry Minho.. but.. I just don't like your role. I didn't like Oguri Shun's role either.. I just don't like the whole Sano-type. Another big difference is that, in the Japanese version, Mizuki's brother is played by a japanese actor who speaks his lines in japanese.. where as Sulli's brother.. is some tall American guy?!

I found it totally unrealistic when he speaks in English ( and korean subs appear ) and Sulli answers in Korean. It's a little weird to talk like that to your brother.. is she adopted or half american??? She did say some English lines but... so...korean...accent. One thing that did surprise me is that the American guy did speak Korean! He said quite a few lines. But his acting was just...oh gosh... so false.

Another thing, when Sulli got kidnapped by that hyung and Minho went to save her.. they were in a van (a rapist van, Sulli, it looked like a rapist van! And hyung kept touching you too! RAPE ALERT!) and Minho runs out of the house and he's like (his thought)

Let me just take a bicycle and catch up to a motorized vehicle and let me not think to call hyung's cellphone but have Sulli call me and tell me details of where she is and I'll know exactly where that is even though I don't live in this area. Sounds good Minho. Go.

My favorite character so far is Eun Gyeol! He's just super happy and funny and I can't deal with Minho's bad personality and gloom. Not to mention that Korea's sweetheart girl that thinks she's Minho's girlfriend that I swear will end up with Eun Gyeol although he liked Sulli and thinks he's gay.


I swear if Eun Gyeol ends up with miss bratty I will call the produced and tell them SHIBAL KEZEKI YA. No, No, No. Cannot.

I must admit though, the Korean actors are much better dressed compared to Hana Kimi's cast (I really really dislike their uniforms in Hana Kimi...). But I'm not too sure about Sulli's acting either. I just have an f(x) bias and like Sulli because she's cuter than a button.

Best scenes: Eun Gyeol imagining him and Sulli getting married, having a child and the child asking which daddy gave birth to him.

Worst Acting: "Oppa" finds out Sulli is pretending to be a guy at an all male school and gives her a long lecture about her future in english.

Look at that fancy bowl cut! xD It suits him though. I can't imagine Minho with that bowl cut..

An obligatory gif of Sulli and Eun Gyeol. Because he reminds me of GD. They're so adorable together!
