I just finished watching the 16th episode of this amazing dramas after having started watching it 3 hours ago. The reason it took me so long? I paused it every 2 minutes and got distracted because I didn't want it to end yet. That is how awesome this drama was for me. To be able to appreciate this drama at its full, I made me forget that it was a Hana Kimi remake. Hana Kimi was the second drama that I ever watched and I loved it. It's funny and full of friendship, silly scenes and cartoon-ish effects. To The Beautiful You is nothing like that. In fact, this drama reminded me a lot more of You're Beautiful than of Hana Kimi. It's a drama full of super cute scenes that just made me giggly and giddy the whole time. The story is really nothing special. I liked that it was light and not over dramatic. Even if there was a secret, that secret wasn't the focus of the story, it just made it move along, so it didn't really drag. One of the things that I liked the most about the drama, where the parts where Tae Joon got ....excited...because of something Sulli did, or how she looked. It may look like I have a dirty mind, but it's not really that. I liked that because that's how real teenager boys think. When you're a teen you're just going through this roller coaster of emotions and hormones, and you can't even control anything. That's why I think that the portraying of teenagers here was great, very much like in Reply 1997. The acting for me was one of the best points of this drama. The 3 main actors had great chemistry together, so you could really believe the scenes. Min Ho did a perfect Tae Joon, going from a cold boy to a really sweet one because of love. Sulli also did a great job with her role. The danger with a character like Goo Jae Hee is that she's so naive and innocent that it could make you want to strangle her sometimes, but Sulli pulled it off perfectly. She portrayed the character as a very sweet girl full of light and warmth, but not annoying at all. As for Lee Hyun Woo, he was a flawless confused boy, the new Jeremy. He was so pure and sincere with his love towards Jae Hee that it made you inevitably root for him. I loved one of his lines: "Boy or girl, it doesn't matter, we're all humans". The music was good, specially J-Min's "Stand Up", but it did get kind of annoying at some parts the exaggerated advertisement of SM music. I will definitely rewatch this drama again, because it's one of those dramas that just make you feel good, and like you're one of the characters. I will watch it evry time I feel bad, or every time I want to remember what innocent first love looks like. Overall, I loved this drama. I get why some people won't like it, because it really has no much content, but I got swallowed by the fluffiness of it, and boy, did I enjoy it! :D
