It is an adaptation but it can stand on its own. The Korean flavor is added to make it appealing to your standard kdrama audience. The OST, cinematography and acting are perfect especially the lead actress who showcased the different characters and in different timeline

A lot will compare this to the original drama thus OG watchers will have certain expectations and may not be happy about it - but this version has its own DNA and should be watched on its own.


Love it so much and would highly recommend!
