You should definitely try watching the anime then. It's a lot livelier than the drama was and the characters act pretty different, especially Hagu in the first few episodes. I know you dislike anime, but it's kinda like watching a drama in animation form, just a little longer, all together it's about 38 episodes and it really doesn't have any of the staples that people associate with anime.If the show were on TV, I'd be one of the people who stopped watching after one episode.
I'm still struggling through the show right now. :O
