As a fan of Skip Beat up to date on the manga and having watched the anime adaptation. I can honestly say this holds true to the original. This is a major plus. The underdog plot version where you find yourself rooting with her to kick ass and vanquish her enemies. Basic heartwarming fluff, you probably won't think much afterwards but you will have laughed until your face hurts. You can watch it for the romance because of the gorgeous men, but don't expect too much because Kyoko is like Sunako from Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. She actually says things like "bright" and doubts Ren's every move. The comedy is over the top most of the time with the chicken suit and her mini-Kyoko spirits threatening the other characters and the eccentric director (favorite scene is the 2-person camel suit and he was riding it!! which has no affect on the plot but just because they can), but I dare you to not crack a smile at it. Although, they seem to have made Yashiro (Ren's Manager) into a side-character which is a loss because he is the one decipher what Ren is thinking and forces him and Kyoko to do something about it. I miss his knowing smirk. :( The drama adaptation is almost the same as the anime. Which leads me to rank it slightly less, because the manga is still unfinished so it'll be hard to end it unless they alter the story which would ruin it a bit since our love interests are all emotionally stunted. The actors are doing a good job considering SiWon and DongHae are doing it in another language and dubbed. Ivy can seem a bit much but that's what Kyoko is meant to be. The music is catchy performed by SuJu. It fits with the lightheartedness of the comedy. Honestly, I fell in love first with the opening sequence, the drama is really well shot. They got all of the details perfect considering the original setting is Japan. I'll probably end up re-watching this because the story is just so entertaining.
