There was way too much going in the first...I agree. There was way too much going in the first week for us to really take anything away from it that we cared about. That's why I'm holding out hope for this week. Now that we've got the set-up and the characters down, we can hone in on the aspects of the story that really matter. I've also started watching the original Hana Kimi, and I'm finding that BY is following more in the trend of the remake about being mellower and not so insane, like the original. That's partly why I'd avoided the original... I'd heard from different places that was kind of zany and nonsensical. In that respect, I'd say last year's remake (and BY so far) did a better job.adverseffectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209623901967049118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570486928856107555.post-29237731898285895012012-08-20T17:42:04.114-04:002012-08-20T17:42:04.114-04:00Have to agree with you here on the pacing - all ov...Have to agree with you here on the pacing - all over the place, and way too many plot points/backgrounds converging. I decided to try this out of curiosity (not being an especially big fan of either of these two's representative Kpop groups), and by the second episode I was already fast-forwarding through.. I think I might give it up as a serious watch, at least for the time being. Instead, I started (and have almost already finished) the original Hana Kimi 2007... maybe because it's shorter, it doesn't seem to drag as much. In comparison, To the Beautiful You feels entirely too "stuffed" for me to care about everything at once, or about anything/one in particular. :(Saranoreply@blogger.com
