I loved both KR and JP Versions in different ways
Let me start by saying - I _LOVED_ the KR Marry My Husband drama. Loved it. I wasn't even like a huge Park Min Young fan when I started it, but I understood her charm by the end of it. By the end of this drama, I was also COMPLETELY charmed by Fuka Koshiba. I already liked Takeru Sato from other projects he did - I first remember noticing him in Mei-chan's Butler (LOL A THROWBACK IF THERE EVER WAS ONE).
Anyway - I refuse to take part in the discussions about which version is better because it's all a matter of preference. I love them both. And for me, I look at both of them and I just see them as completely different forms of the same story.
The pacing of this drama was wonderful. It was very well-balanced and it's definitely the story from the source but told with very distinct cultural characteristics. I loved the choice of the candy as an indicator (IYKYK), I also liked the parts that they chose to keep in this adaptation of the story. I really like the way Fuka Koshiba played Misa, it made me want to check out her other work. And also THAT FACE. As for Takeru Sato - RAWR thank you Sir.
The second leads were extremely effective - which means that they were EXTREMELY ANNOYING - but I also recognize that that was the point. Sei Shirashi in particular has some scenes where she played her crazy slipping in and out so well that I would actually check out her next projects if I liked the premise enough. And our lovely friends for our leads are just as endearing and lovely as I hoped.
