Comparison to the original is inevitable, but this show stands on its own and is incredibly charming

The original Someday or one day is incredible. From its portrayal of mental health struggles,to the romances and friendships, as well as the soundtrack, it absolutely enchanted me.

When a remake was announced, I was dubious of how they’d recreate it, how I’d want them to keep every scene as it is and have the same atmosphere, but then what would be the point? Why not just watch the original show?

I have never been against remakes. So many stories have been retold in different forms of media and it’s all about the approach taken and paying respect to the original. A remake is not a replacement but rather a companion piece and I truly think this did SOOD justice.

While watching this, I could tell there was respect and love for the original involved. Relationships between characters were given more depth. The diagolue was fresh,well thought out, and there were very few direct quotes from the original.

Kang Hoon, Jeon Yeonbeen and Ahn Hyo Seop were amazing as the main characters and made me fall in love with them all over again. The soundtrack was beautiful and fitting for the setting and I’ll definitely have gather your tears stuck in my head for a long time.

I HIGHLY recommend this and would urge fans of the original to either go back and watch the original version, instead of hating on this without giving it a chance, or have an open mind and get to experience the story they love in a different take.
