To The Beautiful You

Somebody gave me a link to this teaser trailer for the upcoming Korean drama,  Areumdawun Geodaeege 아름다운 그대에게 (To the Beautiful You) and I thought of sharing it here...


If the setting seems familiar to you, then it's because it is the Korean adaptation of the popular shoujo manga, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, or Hana Kimi. Created by Nakajo Hisaya, this 23-volume series tells about a young girl who disguises herself as a boy so that she could enter the all-boys high school which her athlete idol also attends. 


This has already been successfully adapted into TV dramas last 2006 in Taiwan, and twice (2007, 2011) in Japan. I wonder if this Korean version will offer us anything new and exciting? The cast includes young performers like SHINee's Choi Min Ho (remember this video?), Choi Seul Ri, Suh Joon Young and a bunch of names I'm honestly not familar with. I hope this will turn out really well like other manga-based K-dramas like Boys Over Flowers and City Hunter. Let's just cross our fingers and wait expectantly for its premiere this August 15! \(^o^)/
