Before you watch this just prepare yourself for one of the worst endings in dramas. I heard that before I started watching it and I thought, how bad can it be? It was bad. On to the good points though, Quan (main lead) was a more approachable as a character in here then in the Japanese one if you're comparing, it was easier to see what he was thinking and I enjoyed his acting. Ella overacted throughout the whole thing and I personally never took to her. The other characters were okay not very strong, very 2 dimensional. I know you shouldn't compare but its inevitable, the Japanese one is definitely better...better actors, better characters, and better plot lines. Watch it just for ...well the interesting middle episodes between like 2 and 7 before you realize the whole thing isn't really going anywhere.One good thing though is that Ella really looks like a boy, so her being in a boys school is pretty believable here.
