I've watched evey version/remake of this frama and I think that the awesome thing about it is that there's always somethign to enjoy. There's just something appealing about watching a story like this about a one sided love being cherished and turnign into more. While The Twdrama version starring Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng is still my favorite, I enjoyed this one a lot. Better than the original Jversion. It strated off really strong and ending strong, but my main complaint was that the pacing of the relationship between the two main characters was a bit slow and then way rushed in the end. First, I loved all the actors. Out two leads had great chemistry and embodied the characters nicely. Kotoko was really adorable without being over the top. She was sweet and I really sympathised with her. My only issue was that she was too much of a door mat for Irie, especially towards the end. I really wanted her to mirror Ariel Lin's portrayal and really pull away from Irie towards the end. I enjoyed Furukawa Yuki's portrayal here, but I wished he showed a little more in the way of being charmed by Kotoko and fallign for her despite his issues with his parents expectations and figuring out his own feelings. The plot was dealt with nicely here. They hit all the beats we were expecting (except the guy showing interest in Kotoko like in the other versions. I was looking forward to that). I just wish they would have paced the romantic development between our main characters better. I felt like we didn't really get an of the subtle, but strong hints from Irie leadign up to the ending that making this story so great. As a result, the ended felt sort of rushed and I was a bit disappointed. Oh, and ISWAK (the TWdrama remake) still has the best soundtrack. Seriously, what happened here? All in all, this was a really good remake with some rough spots here and there. Still I recommend you watch this and the other versions if you have time. They all have somethign to offer.
