Seriously, this drama is great, but Come ON there Are good actors in TW why did they have to take Korean superstars ? ? ? This manga is famous enough, even with total nobodies in the cast it would have reached supra audience record !


i havent started watching it. but i agree tha even if they had nobodies in it it would have gotten great ratings. from just people who were fans of the anime/manga alone.

oh and is the dubbing really that bad?
Sho isn't, but Tsuruga is really so-so...
But It was only one episode...can't really juge the whole thing...I hope the dubbing will gt better

You can watch it here: http://www.kimchidramas.net/2011/12/extravagant-challenge-episode-1.html

or here: http://www.dramacrazy.net/taiwanese-drama/skip-beat-episode-1/
on dramacrazy, there was no subs, Kimchi got them first because dramacrazy doesn't have Vikii's subs^^

Yeah, I noticed that kimchi had it first, but now there are subs on dramacrazy, too.
I have a question...

The acting, is it like the usual Taiwan drama acting? Like over the top, over-acting...?
This was just one episode so far, so I can't really answer, but I'd say I like the acting of Kyoko's actress...

But Skip Beat IS over the top by definition. The chest and the demons-stuff, the story in itself...etc. That's part of what makes it awesome...

Wait&See

I agree that's what makes it awesome as a manga and as an anime. I just tend to highly dislike Taiwanese acting. I'm still going to give a chance since I loved the anime and I love Siwon. <3
There is T-acting, but there is also so much of the style - what do I say? The spirit, the SOoul - of the manga all mixed up together. So...watch the first episode, and tell us what you think !
Feels like something lost, cuz i don't like dubbing.

I heard rumour that there would be the real voice version, but i don't know for real.

I've seen some parts in ep.1 subbed. Some are funny, e.g: SW took lollipop as bribery, Ivy Chen cycles bike more than 330mph faster train, etc. :D

I really hope there's undubbed version...
In the end of the episode there is like 20min of "making of" when you see part of the slap dialogue with all the real voice...so it ends up as a K/T dialogue ^^ , so funny. But yeah, the real voices are always much better...
I was going to watch it, but I remembered Taiwanese dramas air once a week. I'll wait till at least three episodes are out to start it.
