I watched this one only for Ariel Lin, having been greatly underwhelmed by Playful Kiss, which I gave only 3/10 here at mydramalist. But I ended up giving this one 7/10 and it deserved the score! Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng were so great together, I'm really looking forward to They Kissed Again and Love or Bread, to see more of them. I still have trouble with the passivity of the lead female character, but this version was slightly less passive and weakly self-pitying than the Korean version while the male lead character was slightly nicer and a bit less of a bully. Those small differences combined to make watching it much easier than in the Korean version which I saw first. The other thing I really liked was Ariel Lin's performance. Before this, I'd only seen her in In Time With You and Love Contract, and in both of those she played similarly feisty, independent, in-charge kind of characters. That she could so convincingly portray the exact opposite here showed she's a real actor. And, of course, the climactic scene was priceless - that alone would have guaranteed this a better score than Playful Kiss. I see from other reviews that I'm definitely not the first or only person who saw the Korean version first but still ended up preferring this one. Since I didn't like Playful Kiss but really liked this one, I think if you DID like Playful Kiss, you'll absolutely LOVE this one!
