Before the manga, the Japanese drama version, and U-kiss' dongho, I watched this mini-drama. Well, it's another story after watching this drama. Because I did go watch the Jdrama version, and read the manga which became one of my favorite mangas of all time. I started watching this because my sister turned it on all of sudden and my reaction was like "ohhh" a fighting korean drama. & also because of the dark pictures. This is solely based on my own thoughts during the time I watched it, but then it will also be compared to the manga. Here we go: Story: 7/10. It was very interesting to see that a korean drama had a story plot about street fighting has occurred. So that was what was got me into it. In the beginning we got a kid who skips school, goes to city at night, and beats the gangsters for his own protection. Then he goes on a rampage and gets beaten by the cool guy. & he wants to win him later on. Acting/Cast: 6/10 The acting was not all that great but watchable. Though I had trouble with the main character. The reason this kid skipped school was because he didn't want to be home at the same time as his dad. He simply found that being in his room was boring and so he decided to go at night to find something better. After thinking about this, his character is so wasted. What I thought? : stupid kid, low life, aghhh!!. Ya know, what I felt was that it could have stick to the manga story afterall. The main character had so much potential to be better, it's all about the character development if you ask me. The other characters in here didn't stand out either.. Music: 8/10. Best part of the whole thing. The music in here created the night mood of the drama. And it's just perfect for it. Rewatch Value: 6/10 . Overall: 6/10. It was okay. The thing I hope they've done in here is get an atmosphere going.. A dark mood would have been nice for this drama. Something to show how dangerous the street nights are and how desperate he is to stick in that place, which is his holyland. The ONLY place where he thinks he is able to go to. It could have given more emotional and something to leave an audience thinking. But then I give it a 6 out of a 10 since it was worth a watch.. With some fighting scenes too. Though I wished they go on more.
