I think why this drama received low ratings because the idea and the story of this drama is simple and they didn’t have much conflict.
Still, I am enjoying this drama because it is a funny drama and I love Ji Cheol soooo much evethough he is bad XD

Why did episode 9 make my fingers and toes curl???? Ahhhh so cliche but I can’t stop watching
September 13th, 2012 at 8:32 am
eventhough this drama has low ratings, but it doesn’t matter for me. i always enjoy watching this. Min ho and sulli look adorable and good looking. no wonder i’m more interested in it. kwanghee oppa, you are totally jjang. this drama also has many good soundtracks. no doubt, coz there is SM that absolutely back up this drama well. good job for all of the crew and production.

Non-Koreans seem to appreciate this drama more.
September 13th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
@HELLO He is Kim Woo Bin. At first when he was wearing his glasses and when he’s dragging sulli in the car I thought he was Donghae from Super Junior. But when he removed his glasses I thought he was TOP from Big Bang

i love the korean version of hana kimi especially the cast. more power to the show aja! aja! aja!
September 13th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
I think that it is an oversight of the native Koreans in believing that this is just a remake of Hana Kimi; and therefore fail to appreciate its true value. I have not seen any of the previous versions, exception for the first few episodes and the ending of the original Japanese production. In the beginning, this Korean version did have some of the brilliant absurdity of the Japanese one. However, it slowly transitioned to more cuteness through lovable scenes, such as the caterpillar crawl by Eun Gyeol. There is also more cohesiveness as Tae Joo slowly develops his feelings for Jae Hee and begins to express them. I hope that this development will further intensify and take on a somber mood as they acknowledge their feelings to one another. This has the real making of a specular show about young teen love, minus the comedic buffoonery from the original show. It sincerely hope that the writers will deviate from to the initial story.
Jae Hee has been criticized as blissfully ignorant and cheery. I can personally draw parallels to the beloved Shin Chaegyung character in Goong, whose optimistic spirit remains unflappable even in the face of the mounting pressures surrounding her, as the wife of the aloof Crown Prince of the strict palace. If carefully crafted, this could overtake Goong in my list of adolescent love story favorites. Who needs dastardy schemes and backstabbing treachery in teen love tale!
It is my fervent wish that the remaing eight episodes will continue to unfold the innocuous and deepening love between the two main characters.
