Surprisingly an Amazing Drama
I read the webtoon before the K-drama came out, and I really liked the plot.
The Kdrama was also pretty good, except the Jdrama definitely outshines it.
The significant differences between the two versions are:
1. The Kdrama's plot really focused on the revenge part of the story, while the Jdrama had a balance between romance and revenge.
2. The Jdrama had a lot of emotional and character depth that made it superior than the Kdrama, which-looking back now- had no significant depth in the plot or characters.
3. The Kdrama, like I said, focused heavily on the revenge part of the story- which is the whole plot of the drama. I have to say, with the revenge part, the Kdrama showed a BRUTAL and satisfying revenge. However, it doesn't mean that the Jdrama was any less satisfying. It was raw and emotional, unlike the Korean version, which was a "classic revenge" style.
4. I felt that the main leads' story in the Jdrama was much more heartwarming than the Kdrama. They had chemistry and the male lead wasn't written like a supporting character (like the Kdrama) and actually played a lot of role in the FL's life and revenge plot.
5. The Villains: Needless to say, the Korean version of the villains were absolute trash, which made the Kdrama's revenge even more satisfying. However, the Japanese version had an unexpected depth to them. I felt sad for Reina's story and her "becoming a villain" story. It shows how much attention the writers paid to each and every character.
6. I loved how the Jdrama was shot. It was shot beautifully, very different from how the Kdrama was shot. This reminds of me of The Glory as well, directed by Ahn Gil-ho- who is also the director of this Jdrama. It had this beauty and calmness in every shot and it felt warm.
7. The OST: Marry My Husband: Japan has the most banger OSTs I've ever heard! I remember watching the Korean version, but only one of the OSTs really stuck with me: Wounds of Time.
To conclude, I really liked the Jdrama. It's an overally 10/10 for me because I enjoyed it throughout. And though it had only 10 episodes, it was perfectly-paced, no-nonsense, and an overall excellent watch, unlike the Kdrama- which had 16 episodes- though it has it's own charm, I hated how the put filler characters in- like the fiancé and the parents. For 10 episodes, this drama didn't feel too rushed, or too slow, and had great character depth, including the villains! Within these episodes, it has no loopholes and 100% chemistry between the main leads.
LOVED IT!
