Since I haven't seen the drama, I have no idea if this was better or worse. To me, the movie was great, the special effects were nothing to squint at, and I loved the actors' portrayal of the story. The only flaw would be the story, but that maybe because they had to fit a lot of episodes (from the drama) into a movie of less than 2 hrs. I'm still confused about the lead's love life ?(let's just hope it was the girl he left in the end with and not one of the other two ?)
I would love a sequel, it might help with the confusion ?
