I'm going to be completely honest, I didn't care for the original version, but I am a firm believer in second chances & I am praying this one is good. It might make me want to go back & rewatch the Chinese version.

Here's a cute photo of them:

 

I only watched the first few minutes of the original version but I know it was really popular. My friend talked about it quite a bit back when it aired. I don't know Kim Yo Han other than he was in that idol group competition. I do like So Ju Yeon, her relationship with Park Min Jae in Dr. Romantic 2 was cute.

It helps that each episode is only 20 minutes long so it didn't required too much of my time. I thought the first episode was cute. Sol-I's rap was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing -- is that how regular people sound like when they rap? Maybe not so much, I wouldn't have the rhythm for such thing. Haha! I also appreciate all of her friends standing up for her when that teacher decided to read her "love letter" out loud. 

 

So Ju Yeon is so cute, absolutely adore her.

Was this how we all felt in high school minus the boys not looking half as cute as Kim Yo Han too? Haha!

What did everyone think of the first episodes?? 

[Tofu]

I never finished the original version but if it's anything like this Korean version, I can see why I didn't finish. Considering that each episode was only about 20 minutes long, I still found parts of it to be really frustrating. I think I watched up to episode 5 or 6 and then skipped to the last remaining episodes. I don't think you need to watch the whole thing to know what's going on because I didn't and I was able to catch on to what had happened. 

 

I enjoyed watching Jin Hwan's and Ha Young's relationship blossom. Watching Jin Hwan's scenes were fun, I really liked his character. Overall, all the actors/actresses were super adorable and I very much enjoyed the behind the scenes interaction between them.
