Yup. It does have the dated look but man even that actually adds to my love for that drama. About the remake, i do hope some people will learn to appreciate the drama then maybe check out the original because ot was perfection.
But i am wary about this remake, mainly because korean dramas usually tend tp over romanticize scenes and interactions. And i really dont want this remake to lose the the gritty-ness, dirtiness, darkness in all it epic perfection that was in the original.
.. and yup saw some posters for that movie with Son Yejin. I was planning to watch that jdrama, but i cant seem to find that time. Have you seen both the movie and series? Which do you recommend i should watch first?
i liked it how it was then as well, but some people couldnt get over it back then it would be even harder for them now hah.
i cant recall if ive seen ima ai ni the movie, ive definitely watched the series tho, i think the movie probably covers most of it, and if you want more then watch the drama...
another one from around that time that tripped me out quite a bit was kou kou kyoushi (the one w/ueto aya)... ok to be honest i dont remember it all that clearly, it just left some sort of feeling behind haha. but narimiya hiroki has this crazy character... its a little overblown but left me shook in the end too. actually most of the characters are crazy here. apparently the 1993 series was much darker also. havent seen that one tho.
