hmm.. skeptical about PJ's character can be done justice by any other than SB. The dialogs will be tough to emulate into Korean. If there's only 1 season, we will see a lot of plot holes even bigger than the original series(which had a lot of it). My pre review is it will be a super lame adaptation with over romanticization of characters.
