And to think this drama got me into the wonderful world of Kdrama. *Hides face in palms, shakes head and groans mentally* Yes, this drama launched Kim Hyun Joong into notable fame in SE Asia (and other parts of the world, I presume) as a follow-up role from Boys Over Flowers (how our hearts bled for Ji Hoo). He is, in this series--Baek Seung Jo, a genius who is the object of affection--or should we say obsession--of Oh Ha Ni. If you've done any research on this story, you might have taken note that it's based off the manga 'Itazura na Kiss.' As I became increasingly irritated by Oh Ha Ni's blind devotion to Baek Seung Jo, I tried to search for the original story and check if there were any deviation from it. Surprisingly, there were NONE. And if there were, they were minuscule and hardly noticeable. Ah but even if Jung So Min acted so naturally, she could have been so much more. And Kim Hyun Joong...I don't even want to go there. Story - you can live without it Rewatch value - are you kidding me?
