A Korean movie, based on
the manga, got indeed shot in 1981! When I say "based", it would
rather be "inspired", and more specifically "slightly inspired"
as so many improbabilities abound! Nevertheless, for the
enjoyment of our zygomatic muscles, let's have a look at this
funny masterpiece that will difinitely stay in the Candy Candy
records! (^^)
