LET DOWN

Rich man, poor woman is a remake of a Japanese drama of the same name. I initially started this cause of junmyeon and I deeply regret watching this lmao. The remake was horrific and changed so much of the plot (not for the better) and had an insufferable lead. The leading man has a character that is seen as very undesirable unless he is acted out properly, in the original oguri shun did a great job of this and had a very chic confident persona. However, junmyeon definitely was not able to live up to this and his portrayal ended with a character that was cocky, rude and overall INSUFFERABLE (the changes to the story didn’t help this at ALL). They changed him looking for his mom to his lover which in general requires a big amount of chemistry between the leads to pull over, this version had practically no chemistry between the leads so that was a horrible move. Junmyeon failed to recreate the charisma that oguri shun gave the character and also showed no character development with the character (tho this can partially be blamed on the fact that the plot was altered to make him more insufferable and static as well). Main actress was very cute but her character was annoying in a way. Second female lead was definitely 3x worse in this version than the og, while the og second female lead was only annoying in some parts the second female lead in this remake was just as insufferable as the main guy there was literally no reason for the remake to make a plotline of them dating cause it added nothing but further frustration to the plot. The only part of this remake that I actually enjoyed was sunghoon playing the tech guy and his romance with her BFF other than that this was a major let down.
