This was different compared to other dramas I usually watch. I don't usually watch medical type dramas.

 I enjoyed watching this! They showed everything! EW! But I couldn't look away! haha! -_-

I was excited to see that Park Min-Young was an actress in this drama. 

Once I watched the drama I got a little disappointed.. I know i'ts not her fault, 

but they made her Hong Young-Rae/Yoo Mi-Na very hard-headed and annoying! She did not listen!! lol 

But other than that, everything was great.

-It is so funny! i remember reading it in the living room one time, my mom kept looking at me like if i was crazy because i was laughing so much at a book.. lol 

This manga is one of my Favorites! it's a Must Read! ♥

-There's been rumors that they will make a drama based on this manga! i hope they do! ^_^

Update! 06/01/2013
Okay, so I was browsing through some movies.. trying to decide what to watch next and BAM I saw this.
I thought it would be a drama, but it was a movie.
I was very excited to watch, but I'm very disappointed. :(
The movie was not good, the acting was bad, everything happened too fast, and it felt too exaggerated.
They missed a lot of good scenes from the manga.
I really hoped it would have been better..

The manga is definitely a "Must Read", but the movie isn't a "Must See"..

-So I was watching music videos and I saw this on the side bar and decided to give it a try.

This movie kind of reminds me of "Sunny" because it's about friendship, but of course they're both totally different. It's just the fact that it's not a movie about a boy and girl story line and both are about friendship.

I really enjoyed this movie and was glad that I found a link with the FULL video instead of "parts".. I hate when the video stops and I have to click on the next one and so on. lol

*Favorite -Must Read & See!! ♥

I read the manga a long time ago.. Maybe back in 2005 and watched the Japanese Drama in 2010 (i think).. and just watched the Taiwanese Drama this year 2013. And to be honest, I don't remember with detail how the Japanese drama was.. It's been so long.. But I do know that for me, the manga was better than these 2 dramas.

I've also read that there is supposedly a Korean version coming out soon.. Not sure if it's just rumors or what? The pictures on the internet are bad photoshopped picture of the J-drama cover with TOP's face. Yes, TOP from Big Bang. I honestly, don't believe TOP would be the lead. TOP never shows any skin. Seriously. I mean, I would love it if he was the lead and we could see him ♥_♥, but let's be real.. that's never going to happen. lol ;(

-One of the best Japanese drama's I've watched in awhile.. I think I mentioned before about a J-drama called "1 Litre of Tears", that's my favorite J-drama and this one "Mother" really comes close. It was so sad and touching, I cried. I really like the little girl Rena (played by Mana Ashida). She is a good actress at such a young age. She's what made me cry. Her acting was that good. ;') I don't want to add any details on the drama because I don't want to spoil it for anyone. But really WATCH IT! I totally recommend it!
