If I may give some advice here, it would be don't watch this it's not really worth the time investment.
I really don't understand why this drama has a rating of 8!!! And I also can't understand how I was able to watch this completely (no fastforward, no dropping). I have som many rhings to say about this drama, but first of all I didn't get what this drama's plot was about because it was obviously not about self acceptance. I though the ML had abandoned his suicidal thoughts when he was a teenager but it was clearly not the case. This ML really needs to watch 1 litre of tears or Boku no ita jikan because those were really motivational stories. Also the FL was not very likable, she had a very weak personality and lacked strength and conviction. I agree with several previous comments in which it would have made more sense if by the end he accepted his disability and embraced the will to live.
And so many things left unexplained like the Team Leader's younger brother's story and her time-out marriage, the FL's dad's story, what about the hard drive, what was in it, did they used it?? And so on...
I don't think the episodes are available on line but you can check my journal I have shared several subs for the episodes: https://fanitha.livejournal.com/7389.html
Despite the bad comments I enjoyed watching this drama. You really have to see it with no high expectations and you'll enjoy it. It's a very light hearted drama, with the typical cliches but if you're looking for something light and easy to watch this may be your drama.
This is the 3rd drama I watch from this writer and it's the 2nd time I wasn't on board with the OTP. But that aside she writes awesome male characters and bromance ♡ But the highlight for me was Yoo Yeon Seok, he gave an outstanding performance and Dong Mae was my favorite character here I loved him to pieces therefore he broke my heart with his one sided love. And I also liked Kudo Hina, she was written magnificently and Kim Min Jung's interpretation was spot one. This drama will have benefited if it had been 16 - 20 episodes long and if the action started sooner and that's why my rating is 8.5
Well... I had to watch this since I'm a huge fan of this franchise. But I'm not gonna lie, I fast forwarded the scenes with the F4's side stories frankly I couldn't care less about them. And I think they would have made this drama a favor if they omitted them. This version's Rui might have been the less accurate one and that really broke my heart since his character is one of the most important ones for this story to work out. Good choice of Tsukasa's character and Tsukushi as well, but at the end I still find Hana yori Dango the best adaptation so far and my favorite one.
With the first 5 episodes I thought this was going to be the jdrama of the year for me. I was just loving it and if they had continued on the same line it would have been. I didn't drop it because I was expecting some kind of "miracle" that would make me love it again but not even Sato Takeru's performance could made that happened. Nevertheless Ayase Haruka was outsanding as always in her acting skills.
One of the review says that this drama is full of plot twists that you wouldn't expect to happen. But for me I did expect and figured out many of the things that happened including the final major plot twist. I actually was hoping things ended up the way they did because otherwise it would have made no sense.
