One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Kang Tae Joon (Min Ho).

July 20th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
I hope it as good as the taiwanese and japanese version!! the past ones really made me jump out of joy! it was really funny too!! MinHo was okay for me when I found out he was the lead actor! and Sulli looks perfect with the role!! I’ll be watching out for LEE HYUN WOO♥

I’d already watched the Japanese and Taiwanese version. So far, I most like the Taiwanese version. And I’ve been waiting for the Korean version. Will it be the best version ? Let’s see.
July 21st, 2012 at 1:21 am
I’ve seen the Japanese version but I think this will be very amazing and I will enjoy it very much because MinHo is in this and I love SHINee. Thank you oh and MinHo is my inspiration love you MinHo.

i’m so excited for this movie, and can’t wait for this movie. fighting
July 21st, 2012 at 6:10 pm
I dun like the cast….Minho & Sulli don’t look match at all…Minho I don’t think he can act well…his gold fish eyes…are a turn off…he should just stay being a singer….Sulli is so tall….just doesn’t look right when standing besides those shorter or same height guys
July 21st, 2012 at 6:24 pm
Lets give it a try! Sulli was really really good in acting during her younger days. Try to see her cuts in the movies such as Babo and Punch Lady. I never knew that she can act actually as she is portraying this “sugar coat, sweet teenager” always as a singer.

I’m so excited to see this drama. I’ve watched the Japanese, and it’s so great. I love it. so I expect the same thing will also work well with K-drama version. I don’t car about the cast, as long as the drama is better, then the cast will be okay for me too.
