Ah, but the main story wouldn't have worked if they weren't identical. Actually the whole story would have fallen apart, unless they had taken it a completely different way. Especially to get the substitute bride.
I think it would have been sweet if instead of falling for a girl who looks like his sister, he would have found another sister in her. Brotherly love! It could have been really sweet. And created plenty of drama. He wants to protect and help both of his sisters!
