I'm with you on this. No worries you're not the only one. I personally can't feel the subtle transition in feelings from fondness to romantic love btw the leads in the remake (that spark n tension, if you know what I mean) . Japanese Haruta made ppl to not hate him as much, I think that's why the Japanese actor won various best leading actor awards for this role as Haruta

I would say yes definitely is to target younger audience ( there are ppl 60+ watching ossan love avidly on Japan lol)

There's just no logical accounting for taste and preference, but I'm of the same opinion with you yeah....

Personally I find the plot is better after the breakup, but the chemistry and leads romance here, I just can't feel it. This remake makes me realize how impt the acting was in the original version. I mainly watched this series for the romance, but sadly that is lost on me,.. Can't even feel if Tin is in love with Muk at all, which I can still vague feel in the original. But at least the plot after the breakup episode is worth having a look I think

Finally someone with the same opinion as me on the actor n the humour. The sincerity of the story is kinda lost along the way and that bugging eyes..

Ah finally someone with me....

I know right. The series is so emotionally charged..the plot may not make much sense and feel rushed at the end but the great acting covers all that

Yes there was a 2016 version as a short 45min movie. The vibe of that one is quite interesting. Haruta is actually quite good at his job and cunning in that one. It was popular enough to be turned into a drama series in 2018

The general vibe that I got is that the 2016 ver has a comedy serious vibe, 2018 has a comedy hilarious sincere n emotionally charged vibe (very typical Japanese comedy so your ear may hurt in the first few eps) , and the HK
one has a comedy chill sweet youth vibe

Originally, the main lead Haruta was 33 thus ossan love the title (aka uncle), but since the male lead Tin younger here the title is misleading

2016 is quite good toom it's a totally different mood from 2018 but I enjoyed it

I think you should watch both 2018 and 2021 to decide for yourself. Their vibes are quite different

Well the original got two eps cut short anyway so yeah. But I think these episode is good too

Or some just went in with wrong expectations about the remake

A lot of ppl haven't watched the original show or forgot some details about it.It was in 2018 after all

Yes. Even though I am based towards original due to personal preferences... Tệ comment section is 😑😑😑

I think you should just watch for yourself and decide.It's really up to ur preferences

It's an Asian series where stuff is still very conservative... Heck even sex between man and women before marriage is still frowned upon.It's not realistic but its baby steps towards the right mindset.If you're looking for sth sexy and realistic, you won't find it here

Ah I was pretty much sitting on fire and crying my eyes out during emotional scenes during ep 6 and 7(even if the first 2/3 of ep 7 didn't make much sense). I read in an interview that the entire filing crew, staff,n director cried during the breakup scene.. And Haruta who wasn't supposed to cry in the script also ended up crying

This sort of comparison is inevitable, as the original was a hugely popular classic done by very experienced actors, (so I felt it was rather risky and tricky to remake this series), but I think the youth vibe in this drama is great and fresh. And if the remake works locally then it's already a great achievement. Just ignore those who are bashing both the original version and this version since they probably miss the point of the series anyway
