My overall impression: Cute!
Acting/Cast:
Jang Geun Suk did a really good job as momo and I find myself loving his acting more and more. There's nothing more to say - he left me speechless.
Kim Ha Neul did not make a very large impression on me at the beginning. The start of the story did not give her the room to fully portray her character as a dominant and intimidating person. It was her playful/confused side later in the show that caught my attention.
Story:
I haven't actually read the manga, but I did watch the Japanese drama some time ago. In terms of comparing to the JDrama, I learned to not compare since J and K dramas are different in style and culture (I am a big fan of both).
For the story overall, I think they did a okay job on it - considering that it is a movie. It kind of reminds me of a western styled movie - when screenwriters turn a novel into a movie. My standards are not very high. Some parts, such as the dancing and some of the characters roles and decisions were left to the imagination, which I assume is because of the shortness of the movie.
Putting all thought and analysis aside, it was enjoyable and if you have some free time and want to watch something light, this movie is a pick me up and not a complete waste of time.
