Re-make of a popular Korean Drama. Miko, who grew up in an
orphanage, was going through ascetic training at a convent to become a
nun. However, one day, she decides to replace her brother in the rock
band “A.N.JELL” and becomes a member. She tries her best to live up to
the image of an “Ikemen” (good-looking guy) and not let down her
brother whose dream was to become a singer and find their mother.
However, she fails to do anything right and manages to anger the band

Thoughts: I did take a look at the Korean drama and I was going to watch only the first episode just get an idea of what this story was all about. But I ended up watching all of the 16 episodes of the K-drama. Overall, I thought it was okay. Watching this drama reminds me a mix of Hana Yori Dango, where the female character is surrounded by ikemen guys and Hana Kimi with a female character disguised as a boy. However, I didn't mind that the J-drama cut out and changed some scenes that were in the K-drama. Because some of the events that happened in the K-drama were just random silliness, although there were cute and funny, but it has nothing to do with the story. So, the Japanese version ended up as having a fast paced story. As for the actresses and actors in the J-drama, I have no complaints over them, and I thought that they did a decent job in their roles. I took a look at both versions of this series and I still don't see what was so special about it. I mean, I have seen so many romance-comedies that have used the same formula such as having 2-3 guys having a crush on the same girl, a villain who absolutely hates the main character, the female protagonist gets rescued by the guy she likes, and so on. All in all, despite many cliche moments, I had fun watching it and enjoyed it for its' light-heartedness.
