"I like you just as you are" <3
This one made me MELT; love love love these two - they're both so sweet and real and take such good care of each other, yet make each other stronger at the same time. The story is believable and the acting is excellent as well. I rewatched it the instant it ended.Second romance is forgettable and has some questionable power imbalances and sex-with-an-inebriated person.
(TW: sex assault in ep 8. And there is no blame here to the victim for their actions immediately following something so horrific - we can all act on impulse when traumatized)
WATCH THIS ONE! It's a keeper : )

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!
