My Honest Opinion is I like the Korean version better
Okay, before everyone bites my head off here are a few reasonsI think the Korean version takes out certain scenes that weren’t needed like when the ML tried to make her jealous in the original (it was a part that wasn’t needed at all honestly) the Korean version also added a couple scenes that I thought were very well placed also.
Like when the ML actually fed her when she was feeling down and let her cry again on his sleeves (this did not happen in the original I checked 😂) about not getting into college it was a very cute and well placed.
My opinion the casting was so spot on but her best friend in the Korean version is so pretty, again my opinion 😂
I’ve seen a couple of dramas/web dramas with the FL. So joo-yeon and she’s always been very cute so I think she fit the role perfect.
As for the ML ... Kim Yo-Han I know he was first place in the produce x 101 and it’s to bad about what happen to that group because they would of been super popular and were very talented. So I hope he can become a very successful actor but he also fit the ML part great.
As for the the supporting roles they all seem to do the original cast justice.
Will all that said and done this is my opinion and I know people are going to be negative or not agree which is fine but if you actually have seen the original version and compared it to the Korean version it’s very similar and people should be happy that you can rewatch this very cute drama either with the original or the Korean version and enjoy it.
If I had to choose which one I like better it would be the Korean version

I thought this drama started amazing the storyline... the character build up and even the romance between Sae Ro Yi and Soo-ah the chemistry between them two started out amazing and not going to lie... I was rooting for Soo-ah the whole way in the romance department. I’ve seen a lot of Park Seo Joon drama’s and his acting is always top notch and in character but I know I’m going to get a lot of negativity for saying this but romance wise Park Sae Ro Yi and Jo Yi Seo had zero sparks for me ....the chemistry between the two is great but a brother sister/ family love . She was one sided the whole way through and usually when you have a one sided love drama in the end when the other actor falls for the other actor you see and feel that chemistry of love but maybe I’m spoiled with “fight for my way” and “what’s wrong with secretary Kim” the chemistry with park min young and Kim Ji won is just a million times better than that kind of romance with Kim da mi This drama showed two different ways to show love between two types of family with money and friendship. It even hit very touchy subjects as in transgender and race in episodes which made this a very impactful show. But the ending was just kind of rushed in a way I mean the time jumps were no joke in some parts. I would of been smarter to have tired to bring back a season two instead of rush things.

When watching web dramas I’ve noticed I tend to enjoy them a lot... but this one is very cute and funny ... I could just be super bias about it because I am a very loyal “oh my girl” fan #miracles , but the friendship value and how much these 4 girls are all completely different yet seem to make such a strong team is uplifting and interesting. I know it doesn’t follow the original Webtoon comic but I’ve always wanted a web drama to not be so tied down to following it’s originally form and to actually try to be different because different is good... I hope in the end I’m still very satisfied and intrigued with this web drama and it becomes one of my favorites ever Was this review helpful to you?

It’s a great movie if you can stand the test of looking outside the box of it being slow in most people’s mind and in fact a work of genius on the director and writer who produced this and made this film come together. I applaud everyone who had some part in making this and am happy to give my honest review in hoping others will enjoy or dislike this film as long as you have watched it is all I’m trying to persuade any reader in doing so. ??♂️??♂️??♂️??♂️?????

What Real Life Relationships are “Sweet and Sour”
First and foremost I feel a lot of k-drama viewers want that ROM-COM happy feeling, happy ending for it to be considered a great K-drama. So if that’s how you feel a k-drama should be in your book than that’s completely understandable and you will probably miss out on a great “real life” everyday sort of vibe from this movie.All the actors brought each of their characters personalities and feelings out great.
If you’ve ever been in a relationship where it’s on the outs and meet someone unexpectedly that sort of “fills in or starts to replace” what you’ve been missing or need in life . Than you will completely understand Chae Soo-bin’s character Da-eun, she’s the one most audiences will side with first. She portrayed a girl who just wants to be loved and can easily be loved.
Than theirs Krystal she really made it hard to dislike her, she was funny with out really trying to be funny if that makes sense. It’s not like she was trying to steal someone else’s boyfriend either because she really didn’t know.
Finally that brings us too Jang-Hyuk who I thought was the same person the whole time until the last 5 mins than I was like “ooooooooooo that’s why” 😂 any film that can “mind F@#$” you until the end is always going to be a 10 in my book. It’s like a great magic trick ..even though most won’t admit they think magic is cool 😎 but you will still be amazed if the trick is good.
My final thoughts are I honestly see “Sweet and Sour” being “real life problems and relationships” to everyday people who are to busy for each other or have that temptation from other suitors. Even though none actually cheated in the film it’s the whole trust and temptation that really can ruin a relationship and how easy someone else can step in if your not careful and cherish the one you truly love.
