This was the first asian drama I ever wathced. After watching this I whatched the anime, japenese and taiwanese versions and read the manga of it. This is how I liked the storyline.

Story:
The reason I like the story in the first place it was different from basic cindrella story. Jan-Di was a strong character who was the only one who can stand against bully Jun-pyo.

Why I didn't like it different from the other story lines, as the story goes by Jun-pyo gets more and more perfect whereas Jan-Di gets weaker and weaker. She becomes a girl who is crushed constantly. You may ask what happened to the girl in the beginnig and who is this annoying character. Towards the end of the story it got harder for me to put up with Jan-Di. Moreover I liked Yoon Ji Hoo better than Jun-pyo who is perfect all along and did more for Jan-Di.

In my opinion this is a good drama except for the annoying Jan-Di and a better side male character (which you may want him to win the girl instead of the main male character -watch playful kiss for this to happen-) but the other versions are better

Acting/Cast:
I like the acting. I think its good.

Music:
Music is good too. You can listen Kim Hyun Joong (Because I'm stupid) throughout the drama.

Rewatch Value:
There is no rewatch value except for the one or two episodes. I don't know how many times I watched Hana Yori Dango which is Japenese version of this drama and I would watch it again instead of this one.

This one of the best korean dramas I ever seen and only one I watched without a need to give a break since it's not boring, repetetive, totally cliche or dull and it makes you laugh and cry at the same time.

Story:

The story is fantastic so don't try to find a logical explanation to everything. However the story is constistent and gives you an explanation for the reasons why, which gives you the asnwers of the questions like "So why did this happen?" Don't forget this is a fantastic storyline. The only thing bothered me is that consistency is broken a little in the last episode but it still is maintained.
In this drama you love every character especially in the first episodes Choi Hee Jin's explanations and Kim Boong Do's reactions makes you love thema nd the drama.

Acting:
Acting was good a little bit exagerrated. Only thing that drove me crazy was that Kim Jin Woo's fake tan.

Music:
I really like the soundtracks. Also it really goes well with the secenes they are played.

Rewatch Value:
Although I prefer starting to watch a new drama, I would definetly watch this one again. But I don't think it would be this much exciting when you know the end. Still the love story is worth watching again.
