To the Beautiful You just released its first energetic teaser and to my non-surprise, I like it! I have this weird relationship with dramas adapted from mangas, don’t ask. Even the hot mess Boys Before Flowers kept me riveted during its live airing, and I adored Playful Kiss for its slow burn not much happens mellowness. Beautiful You is the K-version of Hana Kimi, which Japan has made twice in five years, so that goes to show now much folks seem to love this girl-cross-dresses-lives-in-boys-dorm story. Starring Sulli, Min Ho, Lee Hyun Woo, and a bevy of male idols from SM Entertainment‘s stable of talent, I’m curious to see what comes out of this version. Will Lee Hyun Woo steal the show as Nakatsu as all previous actors playing that role have? Probably? Will Min Ho pull off Sano? Why not, he’s got the height and looks. Is Sulli convincing as a girl-playing-a-boy? If Maki can do it, Sulli can do it. Check out the first teaser and decide for yourself.
The white fluffy dog has indeed already won my heart in its split second back-of-the-head-only appearance in the teaser. Cheeky thing, that hound.

This really looks not bad!!! :)
I am waiting for this. Thank you.
I'm quite skeptical at first regarding this adaptation but surprisingly, I also love the trailer!
I will add this to my must watch list alongside Arang and the Magistrate and Faith :)
I'm 60 percent on board so far. Waiting for te longer trailer.
Boat load of really cute guys...I am on board!
Lee Hyun Woo and the white fluffy dog has both won my heart so I will be watching this just to see them.
I want to adopt that fluffy dog so cute ^.^
I also can't explain why but out of all the upcomings I'm definitely checking an ep of this baby out, not out of anticipation because I don't care about the source manga and all the adapts ranged fr meh to exceptional turds. LHW combined with that white fluffy cutest thing r not hurting. It's an involuntary urge like a moth to fire.
Did Maki do the girl-as-boy justice though? I thought she's even more girly than other stuff she's in sporting short dos.
I honestly have no idea who Sulli is and whether she's the worst/best idolactress ever but I actually think she looks more like a boy than some idols these day after the make-under.
compared to the annoying attempt of Ella Chen's at being Ashiya Mizuki, I'd say that Horikita Maki is tons better!!
Maki was subtle and graceful. She is definitely pretty but it was perfect because the part was for a girly-
pretty-boy.
I lasted some of the longest torturous mins of my life watching the Ella/WuZun one, so IF DearKoala commented on Ella's 'ability' to be Mizuki, I can't help but have sth unsavory to say. It's to my relief she didn't mention anything TWHanaKimi at all in the post.
I'm not a fan of Maki's acting so the 'subtle' flew over my head, but at least I finished it even though I don't know why and how.
first time i saw sulli from the posters and then here...she reminded me of Kim Hyun Jung from SS501...cute!
My EXO boys are in it...HAPPY.
The Elle girl photo shoot with Sulli and Minho is gorgeous. Sulli works the short hair and says she is enjoying being an actress again.
But really the side characters make Hana Kimi so Nakatsu and the boys of the dorms need to go all out!
I think I'm definitely going to have to watch this. Thanks for posting the trailor!!
