A respectable remake
Hewed closely (too closely?) to the original. The acting was good and the production was professional - I especially enjoyed the comic book styling here. But a fun revisit of a fun story, and I enjoyed it.Yes, the show is nearly a scene-by-scene re-creation, which is a tad disappointing - I love watching remakes that add their own flair (What's Wrong With Secretary Kim has two amazing remakes - one Filipino, one Thai - that bring their own touch to a beloved story and fully stand on their own). Even these sets look borrowed from the original.
But also when comparing to the original, one also must admit it too wasn't necessarily a cinematic masterpiece, but a perfectly entertaining, charming, romantic romp. This version is as well. I say give it a shot!

why?
Watch at your own risk. It was just bad. I was excited and ended up disappointed. I couldn't really get through the first episode, I didn't want to let it go so quickly and I gave it a chance so I continued to episode 4 or 5 but I couldn't go any further and in my case it really rarely happens when I don't watch a story to the end because I don't like leaving things unfinished. In this case... no. I'm sorry.Was this review helpful to you?
