The only version of HYD I really like is the jdrama, and, it being a while since I've seen it, I'm not sure how much that has to do with it, and how much with the cast itself. I do think the twdrama tried it's best, but it was too long, F4 couldn't act, and while Barbie Hsu was decent in the role (a much better actress than they were actors, at the least) she wasn't great. However, the form the violence takes there is too much for me, nd while I've tried desperately, I can't really tolerate the manga or anime.
I haven't seen The Devil. I've thought about it, but pics, clips and comments on JJH make me think too much of his role in Goong. And I'm an unusual female, it seems, because his character there is quite possibly my least favorite drama character ever, and this is a time where I have difficulty separating character and actor, much as I hate how so many seem to hold characters against performers. Antique Bakery, however, finally seems completely removed from that in every way.
