Kdrama is "enjoyable" and it's pretty good. While the original Taiwanese was "charming" it has that impact that keeps going with you for years and keeps you go back for it from time to time and listening to the soundtrack over and over. The Kdrama is nice, but it's like a pretty person after so many plastic surgeries, while the original is more like a beautiful stunning natural beauty who mesmerizes others easily.

That's the thing about it, it's "enjoyable" Kdrama and it's pretty good.

Can anyone explain why fans of the original were so upset? the original is still there to be seen after all, china,…
This version lacks the charm of the original one, and frankly most of the actors don't suite their roles very well. Since it's a Korean remake, the expectations were so high for it, and the only better thing is the interior setting and design!!
It's like seeing a stunning naturally beautiful person, and a plastic surgery pretty one. The remake tried its best to look and feel good, and it's good, but it lacks that charm, good vibe and long impact that the original left me with. It's a nice and decent remake, but nothing charming about it, there is always that feeling of "well-set and polished" thing about it.
I'm in ep 12, and i swear the saving grace so far is the magnetic look of the 1st ML and the charismatic persona of the villain. Other than that i's way too slow! The premises was so promising, but the execution is just meh! Cinematography, score, setting design are so on point, other than that the storyline should've written better.
Actors are quite good, and they are very good looking too. The story is meety and could've been stretched for a longer episodes. cinematography is so pretty.
It feels like a script within a script. The last couple of scenes make it feel that the whole "Twilight" is just…
Another theory: Ep 39, we see the brother reading the ending scene of the "Pursuit" and he wanted to call the ML to ask him about it, there is a voice over tells his thoughts as a third party. As if it was just a scene from a script. And it goes on showing him sick and vomiting, and though the pain has gone, he never got the courage to call the ML again, the parted in life without saying goodbye! Now after watching it for the 2nd time, and putting it with the way the ML look and talk in the last scene, it's either there was no "brother" in the 1st place and he is just an addition to the "Twilight" script to make it longer and more meety, or they really parted in real life and ML wrote it in his so called biography.
It feels like a script within a script. The last couple of scenes make it feel that the whole "Twilight" is just a script, and it is! It's a script about his life and mostly focusing on his relationship with FL. The last scene where he stands alone reading the script, and talking in the phone to some Director/ Boss, stating that he wrote 2 endings might indicate that there is something that has changed. Now, check the way ML look, walk, and talk, and the kind of car he dives with its edgy style that goes well with his own style, and it's totally different from his previous car and style. The guy has changed a lot. He may have been talking to his "brother" or someone else, that wasn't clear, but he is less naive now, and that might be a sign that the slavery contract he signed is no more, or about to be broken. IN "Pursuit" script, we hear a shot without knowing which one used his gun, but after "Twilight" roof scene it's obvious, at least for me, that he chose her over him. It's gonna be always her from now on. She is gonna be the FAMILY he craved for. If that so, then as all his scrips have glimpses of his life, then as he gave up on his "teacher" in "Pursuit" will be the way he will give up on him in real life too, not by killing him 🤣, but by eliminating him from his life at some point. But sadly not in the timeline of the drama!!!! The writer tried his best to be smart but he ended up frustrating the audience.
I really loved this show but I hated the ending. I didn't like both endings. I feel like they should have ended…
1st ending she grew to be a fine young lady, who knew everything, and took him to the woods to convert into a rattan tree with him as it's the only way for them to be together. 2nd ending, the little girl grew into a different person, just like propagation with cutting in plants, she is genetically the same, but not the same person! The origin/ FL came back, only becoz of the seed she received as a child from the guy with the hand fan! The thing is, ML is now a long living person like her coz he has the power/ energy of Chisan she gave him. And they are pretty much stuck in that place because they are semi- immortals comparing to humans. Theoretically, it's a happy ending, they have only each other for eternity. But that was a very long way to achieve that ending! I mean 8 episodes less would've been much better.
