REVIEW:
One word: daebak! Or, should I say jincai? Or, maybe even sugoi desu? I really cannot decide which language to use.
Extravagant Challenge, the Taiwan version of the Japanese manga Skip-Beat, is really the fusion of Asian film. A Japanese story, Taiwan producers, and two Korean actors make for a good mix of cultures. Although I cannot stand dubs, I was happy enough with the story that I really didn't mind. The story was funny and the acting wasn't bad.
Although I have not really read the original manga, and cannot verify how close it is to the original storyline, I can say that the story is very funny and lighthearted. They kept the original anime-like style, but didn't lose their acting skills completely while doing it. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a lighthearted, short drama. Then again, I may be biased due to my love for Siwon.
