Holy freaking crap! I just have to say, that this drama would be nothing, I repeat; NOTHING! without Lee Hyun Woo's character Cha Eun Gyeol. I have watched both the Japanese and the Taiwanese version of this drama but neither Ikuta Toma nor Jiro Wang managed to capture my heart the way Lee Hyun Woo did in this Korean version. The story is not that original, a girl dressing up as a boy in order to accomplish something, and the reason in this version of the drama actually feels a bit lame, but still, the plot invites to A LOT of drama and some terribly epic complications. The actors... not too impressive, especially Mr. Male Lead. Let me introduce one of the most awkward actors in history, Lee Minho of SHINee who plays the role of high jumper Kang Tae Joon. It's not so much that he's a bad actor, he's just... awkward. One thing that annoyed me and at the same time felt a bit relieving was that the character of the male lead wasn't as emotionally incompetent as the ones in the other versions. The screenwriters tried their wings of responsibility and even though they changed much of the main character's traits they made it into a nicer character to watch. The music, very mainstream and obviously SM biased, but that has it's causes, I guess. Though, Onew, thanks for creating the mood! As I said, If it wasn't for Cha Eun Gyeol, the soccer genius (and maybe all the attractive guys......) I wouldn't have loved the drama as much as I do, and if I rewatch it some time in the future I will probably only watch the parts where he's acting... Seriously, knowing what I know (not leaving any spoilers) after watching two versions already, I cried in every episode from like episode 5. Cha Eun Gyeol, you deserve so much better (me...) Watch it, and love him! :)
