Japan made a remake for this title… Let’s watch…
As usual, let me start with the story…
Story about 2 couples, Hayase Arashi & Amemiya Rei, Kawai Fuma & Sorano Kai. Like the Thai version, they also separated both stories.
1st story, Rei & Arashi. One day, Rei met a handsome man who helped him with his car. Rei is quite obsessed with how handsome the helper is. By his surprise, the helper nonetheless is the university idol, Arashi Senpai. With some circumstances, when they meet again, Rei gets trapped by Arashi & the game begins… The game is to make Arashi fall in love with Rei and not make Rei just be another man in his life. Why game…? Well you must watch to understand it. Haha…
2nd story, Fuma & Kai. Kai is Rei’s friend. Fuma & Kai met when Kai helped Rei to get in the illegal street racing that involved Arashi. Fuma took advantage of the situation & made Kai have one night stand with him. But since that night, Fuma has been obsessed with Kai, he can’t forget him. So, Fuma asks Rei for Kai's number & address & the chasing begins…
For me overall the story is a little better than the Thai version. Some even less toxic than the Thai version. But unfortunately the Thai version has more handsome man… Hehe… So, if you ask me which one I like better? Without doubt, The Thai Version. Haha…
Below I’ll write the comparison between both dramas, but that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it at ur own risk.
==================================================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================================================
The one that makes more sense than the Thai version:
* The first scene where Rey was chased by the security, Arashi saw him, and then Arashi saved Rey. In Thai, we only got to see Payu ask the boss for permission & then save Rain, I always wonder how Payu can know it's Rain that's been chased.
* The danger that Arashi must be facing in street racing. In the Thai version, they do the racing in the real race arena, so in my opinion no danger, especially since it’s only 2 motors that are involved in the race. In the Japan version, it is really illegal street racing, the street is uneven with the red soil kind of ground. So yeah… I understand the concern that Rei feels.
* The reason for Rei to get back at Arashi. In the Japan version at least Rei states that he will get back for the humiliation that Arashi gives him after Arashi teases him. I never understood the reason why Rain wanted to make Payu fall in love with him in the Thai version.
Better than Thai version:
+ The way Fuma asks Kai. Fuma isn't just so shamelessly harassing Kai like Prapai did to Sky.
+ Rei gives an explanation to Furuta Rinka about Rinka's request for help to set herself with Arashi.
+ The friendship between Kai & Rei. They show us how close Kai & Rei are.
Thai version better:
+ The chemistry between both couples. I don’t get the spark from Japan couples. For me they just like actors playing the role they get.
+ I don’t like how the Japan version portrays Kai, they made him look so old and the overall vibe from him is just not good, unlike Sky he gains no sympathy from me.
+ The crazy man that kidnapped Rei. Although I feel this version wants to make that crazy man seem to have more grudge against Arashi, but for me it makes less sense.
