Woo Ri the Virgin Episode 1

Five Stars

As a super fan of the original American series, Jane The Virgin, I couldn't help but compare the two versions. In the Korean version, I thought they made a good adaptation. The original series has a super crazy script (it's mostly a satire of latin melodramas), so I think it can be difficult to understand all this craziness in the first episode in an adapted way. I loved Woori's mother, she has the right tone of the character, and I think Woori's grandmother promises more than what was presented in this first episode (I was super curious how they would portray the two). They maintained the Catholic Christian character of the series, which is fundamental as a backdrop to Woori's choice of chastity and how it relates to her mother's story and her grandmother's. Woori's boyfriend is also being similarly portrayed, right to the point. And LOVED that they kept Raphael's name! hahahah The order of facts and some relationships are in another order in this version, but nothing that spoils or completely changes the central story of the series. And I also expect a lot from the character who plays the gynecologist. The actress did very well, but I imagine that they will give another background to her story. Anyway, I'm super excited lol. Despite the frenetic pace, the first chapter was very good! ^^
