This is adapted from the South Korean original. Except, of course, for the songs, actors, and locations, the movie is practically faithful to the original Korean script. I haven't seen the South Korean original, but I have the feeling it's as charming as this adaptation. Or, this adaptation is as charming as the original. Sarah Geronimo seems to fit the role. I'm not sure about Nova Villa and the other cast.

The movie is entertaining, a real joy to watch. However, there's one major glitch I noticed. Why did the other characters did not recognize Fely Malabano (Nova Villa) when she became Audrey De Leon (Sarah Geronimo)? There's even one flashback which shows Fely Malabano (Sarah Geronimo) in a framed photo which looks exactly the same as the present (Audrey De Leon (Sarah Geronimo).
