I haven't watched the anime or anything, so I don't have any comparisons. That said, I really liked it. I recognized a lot of the actors and they all did a really good job. (And were lots of fun to look at as well. ^_^) The music was really good, too. And I automatically love dramas about fashion. I love Asian fashion! It wasn't life-changing or anything, but it was a good, entertaining romantic comedy.
