Now I am a firm believer in only writing reviews after seeing the whole drama, but I feel I need to write this. This drama is just a worser version of the Japanese one. The opening, music (minus the opening), and the uniforms are the exact same. It also trys to stay with the same funny feel. I was hoping with this version it would try to stay with the manga more, but this is even farther from the manga than the other version. The cast is also not as good as the first (but don't get me wrong they are good looking). Not anyone in this cast really "fits" into the roles (I mean who can beat Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu?) The Japanese version was soooo good that this version just falls flat. Let's just hope that the Korean version can be as good as the Taiwanese and the original Japanese dramas.

I would not even bother watching this unless you can really seperate this version from the original.

I usually don't review dramas until I've seen the whole series, but I can tell from the first two episodes that this is just a mediocre mystery drama. Both actors are too good/popular for this drama and honestly don't fit the roles well. There are plenty of other dramas that are worth your time. Heck, re-watch one if you have to.

Minus Wu Chun's hair, this drama was pretty good. This is a pretty typical romantic drama, but I really do enjoy the story about that dress and the struggle the two face. My all time favorite thing about this drama is the opening theme song. I STILL know it by heart and I saw this drama years ago. One of the reasons I like Taiwanese dramas is for their openings, and this is probably my favorite. The acting by Ariel was much better than Chun, but he wasn't all that good... I honestly don't remember the friends and the side story at all. The main story was enough to make me like this drama though.



Don't decide to not watch it just because it's older and the video quality isn't stellar. I think this drama is worth a watch if you have time.

I really did not get the point of this movie. In the beginning it already shows you what the ending result is. The clothes he designs are really ugly, like a tacky take on a kilt. The acting was not all that bad, but this story just seemed so unrealistic. There's no way a class of 40 could pull off a fashion show like that!I don't want to give away the end, but it is very disappointing because we already know what's going to happen since we saw the beginning. There are also a lot of things that happen that aren't explained later. I watched the whole movie just hoping it would end soon honestly.



If you want to watch a movie about fashion, watch Paradise Kiss. It's not the best movie ever, but it beats this one by a lot.
