Bro, I am so shocked there is a Korean version of "Why R U?"
Like I don't even know what to expect from this.
what are your thoughts? Does somebody plan to watch it?
After 4 of 8 episodes released as of today: I like it! Other than the title and basic story premise, it bears little resemblance to the Thai original in storyline details, characters, style or even the humour, so it's hard to compare. I like them both in different ways. This series is 8 Korean-length (short) episodes vs. the original with its 13 + 4 Thai-length (long) episodes, so this new version moves along much more quickly. My one little gripe (as with many Korean series) is the outsized role of Korea's rather toxic drinking culture.
That being said, Viki reviews are mostly rather negative, so others don't seem to share my opinion. (Or maybe they're just Thai-version loyalists?)
Tip: Don't miss the extra scene at the very end of each episode (especially if you have Viki "automatic next episode" turned on).
