I originally watched the remake of this drama and really liked it. I wanted to watch the original to compare but I found that it really didn't measure up. I didn't find there to be any chemistry between the two leads and the acting of the female lead was really not great. She has very few facial expressions and spends most of her time looking like she smelled something bad.

The male lead is ok but I couldn't really get invested because I didn't find him attractive and the lack of chemistry between them left me feeling flat, making it difficult for me to really root for them. Maybe it was the lack of physical connection, considering they hardly even held hands by the time they were discussing marriage, but ... bleh, there was just nothing there for me.

I also found the dynamics in the female lead's family to be really frustrating. I know it's a cultural thing but it felt so over the top that a grown woman could be grounded, have her phone taken away and be given a curfew. The way she cowers, pouts and never stands up for herself drove me up the wall. She also gave very little back to the male lead and felt like a cold fish compared to the female lead in the remake.

I pushed through until the honeymoon and then dropped it in a rage. I just cannot with this couple, their families and their nonsense. If you are like me and are curious, I'd skip it and just watch the remake.
