I really love the first 4 episodes. I can't wait for next week.
What I like about this? It's not too exaggerated acting wise compared to the first two version. I like and enjoyed watching the first two version, but i fell in love with the Korean version. Maybe because they changed it a bit, but still the idea/concept are still there.
First time in a drama they got the a character right...The Brother! who is an american and can actually speaks fluent english! LOL i soo luv Julian Kang!
Sulli...never heard of her before, but after watching the first ep i fell in love with her...then Minho...not a big fan of SHINEE (DBSK all the way!), but i realized he is good...not there yet, but he is getting there.
Anywayz, this is just my opinion...I just love this drama...can't even watch any other! lol

Anyways, It's an adorable drama. You like the characters, even the evil ones, you get to laugh with them and cry with them(Eun Gyul!). A good drama that even though it wasn't crazy funny like the original versions, it still made the viewers laugh - even if some scenes were awkward but either way, it made things funny.
Story: 8/10. A great story but it was still kind of creepy to me; it's a stalker story no matter how much you try to look passed it.
Acting/Cast: Great cast! But I had so much problems with the main. They looked like they were trying so hard to look like they like each other. They were mostly like brother and sister. I really don't have any problems with Sulli, but Minho was horrible! THIS COMING FROM A SHAWOL!!! He was cute and all but most of the time he looked awkward which made me feel awkward! When he smiled, he smiled too much which sometimes they looked forced... soooo.... 7/10 ^^
Music: No problems with the music! LOVED IT! 10/10 ..........ONEW!!! *o* ?
Rewatch Value: 8/10. I'm sure I'll be watching this again just for the eye candy~ ^^
Overall: 8/10. I might have my problems(awkward Minho making me feel awkward) but this was still great! REALLY RECOMMEND THIS!!! :D
P.S. If you've seen the other versions, don't expect much from this drama so watch this with an open mind! Don't think of this as a Hana Kimi Remake; just think of this as a drama similar to Hana Kimi~

Story: yeah, basically it's romance comedy all the way. Korean version always have those different kind of vibe when they remakes a drama. I can't help but comparing with 2 other versions. This Korean version is more likely a romance, different with the other versions (especially the Japanese one) which more likely focused on comedy. The story itself is predictable, since, I've watched the other versions as well. Although I didn't feel that the story was dragged, sometimes, I feel like there were quiet a lot unnecessary scenes here and there. But as it is for the sake of the "comedy" genre, I didn't really mind though..
Acting: Minho did a good job in my opinion (regardless I'm a fangirl of Minho :p) IMO, he portrays the arrogant Kang TaeJoon really well. As for Sulli, I have to say that she's not as good as the other version's. I don't know, but IMO Sulli didn't really give the "guy" vibe. Different from Horikita Maki (Japanese), which I think, the best one among 3..
Lee Hyun Woo really did a great job too there. Even though I feel like his character is a bit more gloomy compared with the other version's.
From the supporting roles, I especially likes Kim Ji Won, even though her character is irritating.. LOL.. Her acting was good..
Music: I think SMent just going overboard by releasing an OST album every week in the earlier episodes. But actually IMO, there are just a few outstanding songs, and some just barely heard along the dramas (or it's me who didn't notice). Only a few songs fit the atmosphere of the scene.. I especially like some songs like Sunny & Luna's, Taeyeon's, and Taemin's.
Rewatch Value: beside I didn't usually rewatch anything I've watched, even if I like to rewatching dramas, honestly I would prefer to rewatch the Japanese version..
Overall, I can't recommend this drama though.. Except if:
- you are a fangirl of Minho, just like me (even though there are a lot of times when the romance scenes come, I would feel like throwing anything on my computer screen)
- you like to watch Boys Before Flower (since they come from the same director)
- or... if you insisted to watch.. yeah, well, go ahead.. LOL

I like it very much and I finish the episodes with a smile on my face!
Minho does the cool guy, yet sweet, work very well (I would definitly have a crush on him to! :D)
Sulli is a cute girl that looks like a boy and sounds like a boy, so it looks legit.
Hyun Woo is funny and cute and makes a real good friend. I don't think it is fair to compare his caracter to Nakatsu because they're totaly different. Cha Eun Gyeol is not Nakatsu.
This is a drama with young people for young people (or people like me that still like this kind of things because we really never grow up XD)! So if you are expecting something mature where caracters talk about their feelings and stuff, you probably won't like it. This drama is all about young, silly and pure love!! (they're teenagers)
I hope my review is helpful and you should definitly check this drama out!!
(PS: I really like onew's song and J-Min's too! XD)

Only good thing beside the eye candy was merely the fact Choi Sulli actually looked like a boy and all the actors had good actoring abilities

story between Tae Joon and Jae Hee more which I actually enjoyed. Overall I thought this was a very cute drama. The acting by the main leads was nothing special, but the sweetness of their relationship and how it developed made up for it. I would definitely recommend this drama for someone wanting a simple first love drama that is heavy on the cute and light on the angst. It's not a demanding watch and made me smile throughout.

Let me make one thing clear. I'm a huge fan of shinee minho that's why I love it the most.
But the problem is even though she dress like a boy or act like a boy she could be easily found out unlike coffee prince. It is actually a relaxing drama without much stressful events... So it's a good to go

The only thing that really saved this drama for me was Cha Eun-Gyeol, who was the most lovable, adorable, relatable character ever.The drama did that thing where they gave the second lead all the cute bantering moments, while the main lead got all the scenes where they had to save the female lead from the evil antagonists. As a result, I found myself rolling my eyes at all the K-drama cliches but fangirling over the domestic moments between Eun-Gyeol and Jae-Hee, especially because it felt like he was always there for her when Tae-Joon wasn't.
One thing that really bothered me was the premise itself—Jae-Hee literally flew to Korea all the way from America just because of a guy, and she ended up being so stalkerish and obsessive that I found her character annoying and creepy within the first few episodes.
I felt like this drama tried to be melodramatic, but the reasoning behind so many plot points were so stupid and cliche and could have been resolved with communication, ESPECIALLY THAT STUPID TIME JUMP AT THE END. Time skips annoy the hell out of me especially when it's as if everyone suddenly forgot that phone and email existed and just didn't communicate at all.
THE OST FOR THIS DRAMA IS SO GOOD., and it was another thing that made my heart feel more invested in the story and scenes, when my head was telling me to not be.
Lastly: I get that Jae-Hee came from America, but when her brother visited, was there a purpose to randomly switching between Korean and English every other sentence in every conversation? It not only sounded awkward but also made my head spin when I was trying to process what I was watching.
