Good as a standalone
If you don't come in with the expectation of this series being a perfect remake of the manga, you'll like this (or at least won't hate it).
This drama falls into the lukewarm territory between great and average for me. I really enjoyed both characters individually and I enjoyed their story but I think there is a little bit of a pacing issue when it comes to their relationship development. I wish we had a more fleshed out one sided rivalry phase and a gradual change to the love interest phase. Despite that, this series still managed to get me invested in the main characters because they are both just so lovable.
I do hate the way they tried to trivialize the whole selling actresses to the porn industry thing though - it was not meant to be simplified into the whole "he's doing it for love" trope.
I still do think this is worth a watch if you're not too deeply attached to the manga. I personally would rewatch this a couple more times.
