I was weary about watching this because I am a huge fan of the original but this is great. The first episode is an obvious copy, but after the second and third eps you start to see a few big differences, if anything this remake is ALOT more like the Twain version. Its more faithful to the Manga which I love. The cast is great, I do prefer the original cast though. Miura Shohei is my favourite from this cast, hes great and very funny. I preferred the ending to this version more so than the others. Anyone who hasn't seen the original will defiantly enjoy this, if you have seen the original try not to compare the two and you'll love it! I think everyone who is a fan of Hana Kimi should give this a go. Don't knock it till you've tried it!
