I have watched almost all of the versions and I think this is my third favorite. I liked the Korean version and the Japanese version better as they seem to follow more of the story line and keep my favorite parts from the story in. I have watched the Taiwanese version I know a lot of people loved it, but I not a huge fan of that version. I was not even able to finish the second season.
If you want a story that only loosely follows the original story but is not the Japanese 1996 version, this Thai one is for you.
It was good because it was different and the second lead guy was so much better than his previous versions, not to mention the main guy was much nicer.
They changed the story quite a bit, and many of us found that we had no clue when they were going to get together.
Despite him being nicer however, it still took them forever to get married, which I felt was really annoying. In the anime, they get married pretty early on and then we spend the rest of the story looking at their married life.
It took them so long, that I grew really tired of it near the end and even though, I love Mike and Aom I really think that this version missed the mark. The comedy was really lost in this one. It was not all that funny.
They spent a lot of time on side characters and delayed the main romance. Also, I feel a marathon for this show is the way to go and the best way to enjoy it.
But, do not get me wrong I did enjoy this version, but, it missed some of what I loved about the original story line. In those cases, I just think of it as a different story. But, I must say I love the chemistry between the two, and I want more. We ended on really a bitter sweet ending for some of the characters.
I did enjoy the relationship between his mom and him better in this version, but, I needed more brother bonding time. I also was very disappointed that our main character who is a happy go luck girl most of the time had to be depressed for at least 5 or 6 episodes at the end.
