kim suro is cool as mint too but doona!!! i think this is her first trendy/idol drama, she is usually in less mainstream fare, which is why some of you unfortunate lost might not have heard of her. i invite others to picspam and ~educate~ those people ♥ does anyone know if the original dorama is good or not? the japanese lead with kim suro's role seems to have a much...different appeal..

finally DooNa new drama<33333333
i love Dragon Zakura but did every country have to remake other country drama every time lol^^;

is Lee Jin Wook really going to appear in this drama??i thought he still in the army???
but if it true im the most happy person right now coz they are my most fav couple ever since Someday<33

Dragon Zakura is pretty good drama and lead by the awesome Abe Hiroshi<33

Dragon Zakura is the shit, I love that drama. The cast was great, Abe Hiroshi was amazing as Kenji and Yamapi was hot stuff as Yusuke. I hope the k-version manages to be at least half as awesome.

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

i can't judge too well without having seen the j-drama, but i think this version is going for more comedy? that's what i get by hiring kim suro (great actor, not exaactly abe hiroshi silver fox-status) and..whoever is playing yamapi's role

either way i am sure the presence of doona alone will elevate this to high art

remake from DragonZakura...

I want see it !!

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE SYNOPSIS? cause i havent watch the original one yet! looks exciting though (:

[bea-chan22.livejournal.com]

Taken from jdorama.com:

"Sakuragi Kenji is a destitute lawyer and one-time member of a motorcyle gang trying to guide failing high school students with an average score of 36 into Japan's most prestigious educational institution, Todai.
"If you want to change your life, get into Todai!"
For no other reason than Sakuragi's personal ambition, he has advertised his intention to produce 100 successful Todai applicants from the students of a nearly bankrupt failure of a school.
"If you want to change your life, get into Todai!" He will get them from this lowest of all schools into Japan's number one!!

So basically, it's a school drama and such.

I'm just scared though, I have yet to see a Korean remake of a Japanese drama that is as good as the original. Yes, even BOF doesn't make the cut for HYD. I'm sorry for BOF fans, don't kill me. X_X

Wen I hear Dragon Zakura, all I remember is Teppei and that I never got to watching it. But Yoo Seungho is in here and I like it when he goes bad-ass so I might give this a try,,

*goes off to watch the j-dorama one,,

[czarny.livejournal.com]

Teppei is the only reason I even watch it. ;)))

eee~ she's so pretty!!





and cute :)



can't wait for the drama~

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

ugh she is such a doll. ♥

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

Btw, it still depresses me that the first shot at this remake didn't follow through. I remember getting hyped at the time with the news saying it was going to feature Hongki and Park Yejin.

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

i feel like that one would have flopped though! no reason why, i just have that feeling. it was ultimately better for hongki career-wise to go with you're beautiful anyways

[aurelie-884422.livejournal.com]

I hope she is a great actress cuz she sure aint no eye-candy

[noelinha.livejournal.com]

She is a great actress! I have hopes in this drama for the cast ^^

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness that Cannes picture of her is terrible!

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

[glasstonepearls.livejournal.com]

mte. I was wondering why no one had said it yet.

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

Wow, forgot about Dragon Zakura, didn't even get to finish it cause of life. Abe Hiroshi~ Whoever replaces him has to be epic.

[two-ne1.livejournal.com]

Dragon Zakura was the first drama I have watched with subs. :P ( watched it bcoz of Teppei, and finished it without realizing "Yamapi" )
I hope the remake will do good :D

Is it only me, or the gurl in this post kinda look like one of the student casts of Dragon Zakura?can't remember her name though D:

[shonen-key.livejournal.com]

[blackwhite-life.livejournal.com]

1-i love dragon zakura and all the students there-yamapi.gaki.teppei^_^
2-the god of study trailer don't seem too convincing for me
3-but i will still watch it if it's subbed.lol

[v4ever.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who thinks that none of the cast is nearly as hot as the original version? Even the girls were a lot prettier. I mean, for a teen drama like this, cast is pretty important.
