Korean Drama Review (To the Beautiful You)

Number of Episodes: 16
Broadcast Period: 2012-Aug-15 to 2012-Oct-04
My Rating: 5/10

The series is a franchise from the popular Japanese Manga.

Compared to the previous Series (Taiwanese and Japanese) this drama did very poor with viewers rating. When I read about it I began to think how could these be if Shinee's Minho and f(x) Sulli is starring it. Then I started watching it. That's how I know why.

The story is very much different compared to the 2 Series (Taiwanese and Japanese). With 16 episodes that runs more than an hour the story is too dragging. Compared to the Japanese version which only have 12 Episodes and runs less than an hour, the Japanese version cover more story and interesting side stories. The characters in the Taiwanese (Wu Chun) Japanese (Shun Oguri) fit the role very well. For some odd reason Shinee Minho didn't fit the role.

Don't get me wrong. The reason why I like Shinee is only because of Minho.  I have been praying long ago for Minho to act on a T.V. series. But unfortunately the role didn't fit him very well.

The only reason it got a 5 and not a 2 is because of  Kang Ha Neul who plays the rival of Minho.
