Hmmm, Episode 1 The first thing I want to know is what hpaeenpd to the guy at the beginning that Jan Di saved? Where did he go? He fought pretty well for three days before the roof incident, he's in a good 10 minutes of the show, couldn't we get a little sentence on what hpaeenpd to him?I basically feel the same way about the first episode as I did when I first started reading the manga: it's a mixture of horror and shock that (Asian) high schools are like this, pure rage at the F4, and a personal ambivalence towards Jan Di. I actually liked the way she tried to stand up to her parents, but maybe that's also because her parents just kind of ignore her. I loved the mom's happy dance, though! The horror/shock about the high school situation may also come from the fact that other manga/anime that I've seen with high school themes are simply not THIS bad. I mean, take Ouran High School Host club for comparison: a school for the rich yes, a group of very attractive guys yes, leading lady who one sort-of cares about the guys and is called ambivalent by other characters yes, extreme violence of the other students towards pretty much ANYONE nope, that's definitely not in Ouran High School Host Club. And I know about bullying and hazing, with an up-close view from Arata: the Legend, but the physical violence that goes with it, and the crowd mentality that EVERYONE is against her, that's just very disturbing to me.It's difficult to watch the first episode and already know who I'm rooting for, and then have to suffer through his beginning stages of interactions with her all over again. Jun Pyo, seriously? Lick it. Ew. At least his naturally permed hair looks pretty decent on him, in the manga Jun Pyo (called Tsukasa Domyoji in the manga) has this weird Shirley Temple-ringlet octopus hanging out on top of his head. That is in NO WAY attractive! 4 boys walking around in super-expensive suits? Yes, I can at least admit to the visual attraction. And I've already noticed that Ji Hoo almost always wears white even at that random dinner scene, he had a brown vest (was it supposed to act like a bib or something?!) but the rest of his outfit is white.Ji Hoo. Played by Leader Joong SS501. I told my roommate that she will love the first episode because you get to see Ji Hoo in the act of putting on his shirt, bare-chested because apparently no one in Japan wears undershirts. First meeting him made me laugh, though. Of course you'd be out in the woods playing your violin in your white suit. There was almost a full minute of montage, zooming in on the violin, his face, her face, the general picture, back to his face and all I can think about is why he is the way he is IN THE MANGA. I won't spoil that aspect for you (the reader) until the show explains it, but once you learn you will never look at him the same way!
