I haven't watch the other version of this drama so I really couldn't compare and I would not want to compare. I will base my judgement on the categories above. 7 for the story because its to high-schoolish (my term). If I were a teenager, I may score it an 8 or 9 for the story. I think its written and meant for teenagers. 7 for acting/cast because they've given justice to the character. special mention to lee hyun woo...I like him in this drama...specially his character...he's pretty cool. 10 for music because I like the songs. 3 I'd be honest to say its not the kind of story you wanna watch again and again Overall 7 because, in fairness, its pretty good..I had fun watching it..though some scenes are corny at times because its not really for my age..but if you want to reminisce high-school..you may want to consider watching this. **wink**
