I love this version. I usually give almost all the remakes of my favorite manga/anime/live action a chance. I actually like this drama so. Story: 10/10 because it's the story we know and love. It stay true to the manga more than the original, but that doesn't mean that I liked the older Japanese version either. Acting: 8.5/10 because I thought that the leads did a fantastic job. It might be stiff at first because it the first couple of episodes, but the acting gets a lot better. Nakatsu in this one is funny as heck also. Music: 6/10 the only reason it's lower than the other one(2007) is that they used the same music(it was a while back when I watched it so I don't remember if some of the music changed). Rewatch value: 10/10 because it the story we know & love, stays true to the manga, has some changes the made me like the story more, & the acting is great to me. Remember: this is my personal opinion, if you don't like it, then that's fine.
