I didn't like the female leads in the kdrama or twdrama versions (I'm sorry, but I don't care how "cute" you are, if you're that incredibly dim no smart guy is going to fall for you out of anything other than pity), but this one at least has some redeeming qualities, and she's pushed into her actions by her ridiculous friends rather than acting entirely on her own. Makes her more sympathetic.
And the guy who plays Naoki emotes, which is more than I can say from either of the other adaptations. So will keep watching, definitely.
I +1 this.
Honestly all the other adaptations had such a ridiculously stupid female lead I wanted to slap her almost all the time. Even if in the end, the Taiwanese couple is working so great and has such a chimestry you kind of forget about how dumb she is...
But here the female lead is adorable. She has qualities that makes us understand how a guy like Naoki (or any guy) could fall for her. There is something fresh and warm and sweet about her that I didn't really find in the other adaptations.
Can't wait to see episode 4...
