OUTSOLD THE OG!

I started this for Nakajima Kento without knowing it’s a she was pretty remake. I personally hated the og Korean version so I was skeptic of continuing but I haven’t watched something with Nakajima Kento in a while so I figured I’d just sit through the 10 eps and get it over with. I was pleasantly surprised at how the remake was actually good!!! They removed a LOT of things that I hated from the og and with the things they kept they worked it out so that it wasn’t annoying. For example, I loved that they removed how he would fire her all the time and treat her AWFUL, while he was mean at first he quickly because normal and just very critical of her work which was to her advantage! Also they made it very clear that he liked her before the transformation which I loved because I wasn’t a fan of the transformation part anyways. They really hit home that he liked HER and not just cause she was his childhood friend cause he fell in love with her all over again even while thinking she was a stranger and I didn’t get that feeling from the og it felt like he just started liking her cause he found out who she was kinda thing in the og which was so stupid. The friendship aspect was also so well done you could really see how both ai and risa really cared about each other with both having sacrifices they made for their friendship, in the og the best friend seemed to only care for herself and she started pursuing main guy immediately seeming nonchalant meanwhile in this version she held back for a long time which I loved and the convo they had after everything was found out was so emotional and well done. Again stressing how the transformation wasn’t the main point of why he fell in love with her I loved how they really made sure to point out that he liked her before the change and that he loved her for HER not how she looked :) it really gave the self love vibe way better than the og. The chemistry between the leads was SO good and amongst all characters really. Main characters aside, I loved ALL THE CHARACTERS, they all had their own stories and their own times to shine which was so cute. This show had me smiling I loved it so much especially the second half!! the theme song was so catchy I was humming it all day after watching an ep. I loved loved loved the last ep ending it was so so cute and I was smiling like an idiot while watching, their daughter was sooo cute and seeing how everyone grew and became more beautiful in Ai’s words had me so happy. I definitely recommend this for a brighten up in ur day! It’s very rewatchable and I think I’ll be rewatching it in the future for sure :))
