A very summarized version.
If you have watched the Chinese version, I would strongly advise that you do not watch this version. (Do watch the wedding dance scene though it’s probably the best scene.) However this version does have some good points to it..
Pros:
-second ML’s looks (TBH I think swimmer guy in this version is more attractive) and his acting is on par with the actor of the original version.
-the cute relationship between FL and her dad
-making tweaks to the story to make it fit into a korean context
-second FL and third ML relationship
Cons:
-ML is not cold enough. He has a pretty boy face and really is obvious with his feelings. He smiles way more than ML in the original version which makes it not suit the character.
-the transition between scenes tend to be very abrupt. With the time limitations, a lot of things need to be cut but it became that a lot of details were not shown making it especially hard to connect.
-FL’s tone. I have watched FL in dr romantic 2 and u actually liked her acting there and never felt that she was forcing herself into the character. But in this drama, her tone just irritates me, it’s so exaggerated that I just cringe every time she says “cha heon”. She also ruined the famous opening scene :( Note: in the original version the FL never ever speaks in a cutesy voice so she’s definitely not modeling the original version.
-ML can be more expressive with his emotions. Granted it’s his first time acting so he probably doesn’t know exactly how to yet? But in the original version, It was also FL’s first time acting.
-The missing height difference (there is but not as significant)
The Chinese version had 24-one hour-episodes while this version has 24-twenty minutes-episodes. From this you can already know that they probably cut out many details and events.
A few important details that I felt they really neglected are:
-ML and his mom’s relationship
-the dedication of the teacher
-how ML became warmer to FL
-second FL’s love for the doctor
-the seriousness of second ML’s injury
Overall, I must say I’m pretty disappointed as I had high hopes. I think the production team really made a mistake when they decided 20 minute episodes would be sufficient.
