I am still emotionally shaken by this drama. IT WAS SO GOOD. Having read the manga and watched the anime, both of which I really like, I have to say that the drama version of The Wallflower outdid them. It is about four really good looking and popular boys whose landlady orders them to turn her niece Sunako into a lady in exchange for free rent. Sunako is an insecure girl who upon being called ugly by the guy she liked found solace in horror films and scary things and became a bit of a recluse. Kyohei is the main protagonist, the most sought after of the four boys who lashes out at everyone due to being harrassed throughout his life and abandoned by his family for his looks and no one caring about who he is as a person. Throughout the drama the gang go on many adventures and Sunako comes more and more out of her shell while staying true to herself, and she helps Kyohei to open up more too and not give up on what's important to him. It took bits and pieces from the manga and stayed true to the characters and dynamics but added another layer of depth to all the wackiness and dealt with the romance in a wonderful way that was really really heart warming without being cheesy and not to exaggerate made me want to cry. All the minor characters were also dealt with really well and had their own complexities and engaging story lines. There were huge moral messages throughout about being yourself and being brave and not being afraid to follow your heart and the beauty of love and friendship and family. Strongly strongly recommend!!
