It’s looking more and more like my gut instinct about To the Beautiful You is right. Sulli and Min Ho are likely the closest live-action actors to their manga counterparts in Hana Kimi. She looks feminine but has the masculine swagger and attitude down right, and Min Ho is aloof without coming across as half asleep or robotic. Of course it needs to be said that the talented Lee Hyun Woo is definitely doing his predecessors proud in making Natsuki completely loveable and hilarious. Beautiful You is the last of the soon-to-air August dramas to hold its press conference, but being last doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a fighting chance to win some niche fans of its own. I really liked the long nine-minute trailer, which doesn’t show anything I wasn’t already familiar with having read and watched countless Hana Kimi remakes. But this version has its own flavor and attitude, not copying either the J or TW-versions but actually seeming to capture the manga’s essence. I think this will be a fun drama to watch alongside Arang and the Magistrate.
9-minute long trailer for To the Beautiful You:
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

I will totally love this. I totally admit that.
I love Lee Ah Hyun who was in MNIKSS and MSOAN. I hope we see a lot of her, too.
Dear, I know I'm gonna watch this...high school always has that influence on me...pretty.
I'm not even gonna lie, lol.
I'm shipping sulli & lee hyun woo.
I mean just look at their picture (4th one down) together, their smiles
aah, already prepared for my ship to sink but I will get a lot of cute moments for it to be worth it.
After watching this trailer I think I will watch at least the 1st episode... but I kind of think I will not finish it. :)
The preview looks okay but I will wait until this is completed and marathon this drama instead.
Arang had me at hello as well as some other dramas on my long list so unless I discover a way to clone myself or control space and time this is on my back burner.
love the preview
looking forward to watch the interaction of sulli and minho
yeahh !
There are no more words to describe just how "teasing" all these teasers are.. Luckily we're almost there and I'm ready to lose my sanity with the show.
loving this already... i'm a die-hard fan of all hana kimi versions. tho so far, ella had stuck a bit in my head for being soooo uberly funny.
thanks koala sis.
Show looks cute, but what is UP with those suitshorts that some of the guys appear to be wearing (including one that seems to be paired with kneepads?!)?
Wow! The trailer actually has got me super excited!
I'm a great fan of the original Japanese Hana Kimi drama - it was the very first time I watched an Asian drama (besides those weepy old age Korean dramas like Winter Sonata and Stairway to Heaven, ugh I sure don't miss those days), and I absolutely loved it!
I was actually very doubtful of this remake, since I'm not a fan of remakes, and Korean remakes always makes the story even more wacko crazy. But this trailer totally changed things! It reminds me of the youthful summer vibe, excitement and thrill I got from watching the first one, just that the korean version has a slightly different feel to it - not in a bad way - which is perfect for keeping it not to similar to the original.
Can't wait to watch it!
Interesting that she chose to dress in a boyish/gender neutral way for the press conference—back when Coffee Prince came out, YEH wore a super sort dress, rather than staying in character as Eun Chan.
Aren't all the actors dressed as their characters?
