It’s a really good movie — I went in with no expectations and ended up liking it a lot. And don’t worry, the ending isn’t bad; it won’t make you sad like 20th Century Girl
I liked the changes, as they made me feel like I was watching it for the first time. Especially the last two episodes, which were completely different from the Korean version
Honestly speaking, I’ll give my final verdict after I finish watching the Japanese version. Right now, I’m at episode 4, and it’s hard to say which version is better. But hats off to the Japanese creators and staff for making changes according to their culture. Honestly, if it had been an exact replica, I would have disliked it. And I might not have been the right person to judge this drama, because the first-time experience is always different
