for me it's exactly the opposite... the big NO was the kdramas, too much useless comedy
i would have refrained myself on expressing my opinion, but since you don't understand i was forced to. You can like what you want, but you can't force a strong person to accept coward weaklings when I said 2 times already I avoid and take distance from weak people in real life. And yes, looking for happy ending in dramas and comedy and so on, means being weak and i don't go well with this kind of people. This is one of the reason I took my distance from korean dramas. Preference is not criticism when you can argument with DETAILS and not with 2 words, and being unconfy about anxiety is indeed a failure in life. You can accept them, i would never welcome those kind of people.
There is no romantic plot both in the original and in this remake, and I don't think it can be considered even…
Unconvince maybe because you are not watching this remake in the proper way. Remakes can be created even in the same nation, not only in different ones. They are made exactly to be compared to the original, and who struggles for this remake is a coward who should stop watching dramas completely. I am analysing frame by frame, scene by scene, detail by detail, comparing the two in each episode ( episode 1 original and episode 1 remake, and so on) THIS is how to watch dramas in general, ANALYSING. Since you are unconvinced, have you noticed the difference in eye's acting between the ML and FL from the original and the remake? the cowardice in putting comedy in the original while cutting it in the remake? the difference in the remake where the scenes are not comedy but real life, things you and me can live in real life too? I am the only one here analysing and commenting each episode scene by scene, dialogues, frame by drama, details and so on. If people here are so intelligent and better than me, why don't they do it too? i don't like weak people unable to stand depression and needing something to shift the mood in happiness, i'm sorry. i don't like cowards but strong people only. I watched more than 5K cdramas and i have never found such a superficial and shallow public as kdrama fans. You can't discuss over philosophy with them, over real history, real historical figures, real topics like domestic violence over women, authism or disabilities. THIS is what an adult does with drama, not fangirling like a 11yo girl like every kdrama fan. About this remake they are still mourning an actor because they are so immature to think he is innocent, and sorry this is exactly one of the reasons i took my distance from korea. I can't stand children in adults' body.
for me it's exactly the opposite... the big NO was the kdramas, too much useless comedy
Because kdrama fans are petty and obsessed, they can't understand nor accept people despising over kdramas or k-actors because the way they deal with things. I was disgusted about My mister ML because moral integrity is the most important for me. If he was totally clean and without any mistake as he claimed, he would have fought, maybe not for himself but for his family. This is one of the reason I took my distance from kdramas and their obsesses fans, they can't think steadily and reason over things, they can only blabbering over actors. You can't discuss anything except this, that's why they are not able to analyse comparing original and remake, And they always try to convince dramas korea is the best. To say it bluntly, in my opinion korea should stop doing movies and drama, they are not able to do them and their fans are so ignorant not to know korea allows p*rn while china has prohibited it, and they think they are similar. i can't stand such superficial shallow people.
for me it's exactly the opposite... the big NO was the kdramas, too much useless comedy
I will say it bluntly then, since you don't understand at all my points. I don't waste my time over an actor who take his own life out of guilt because only a child can still think he was totally innocent. Because a real adult would have put himself to the police, even if he never took voluntarily the drug he still was in his body so sorry i don't waste my time mourning on a guilt person. I am the only one in this page ANALYSING FRAME BY FRAME, SCENE BY SCENE, DETAIL BY DETAIL comparing the two drama. THIS is how adults watch dramas, not because of actors. I don't like anything shallow or imperfect, and for me kdramas are shallow, trash and imperfect. And yes, discomfort is a failure for me and for adults' life. As i already knew you never learnt from My Mister about how real adults' life is. Grow up kid.
Not only does JJQ finally say something he goes out of his way for his wife to remain clueless its a part in Korean…
Out of dignity for her, but in this remake it's quite more clear even though still subtle. In the confrontation at the camp, Jiaqi says " How could someone like you marry a woman who has no money, no background, is divorced and has a kid?" It's because she would never be treated the same way as before. Preserving she is married and has a child is keeping her life and career steady, even more because she is someone having a standard if you notice in the drama. She would love respect and prestige being a divorced woman and cannot rely on her high profile career anymore. Jiaqi is too kind to her because he knows her difficulties too, she does not blame me her Gu Chen. He knows he is not treating her so well but he is still ready to forgive her, and even more, he is ready to forgive him even if he does not deserve it. It's a very deep dive into Chinese culture still today. Even though divorce was accepted times ago, it's still not considered so well.
Episode 12. I like how manly and reasonable Jiang Jiaqi is after having discovered the quite certain cheating of his wife. He's dealing with everything he lives through in an adult way. "That's the way to be an adult". This reasonates deeply, because in reality adult's life is not as simple as it seems when you are 20. The more you age, the more you understand the weight of Jiaqi's words, their importance and their extreme bond to reality. Episode 13. "It's my duty and my personal conscience". This sentence relates to the previous episode, because adult's way is always trying not to bow to anyone unless it's really your own wrongdoings, because when you bow you won't be able to stand up and walk with confidence later. Jiang Jiaqi is everything Gu Chen is not, and I like this remake is developing the contrast in the right way. Gu Chen is not a pure playboy, he's not evil but he is ready to do some evil for profit. He has wits, and this makes him more dangerous compared to the remake, because he is threatening. On the opposite site, Jiang Jiaqi is making compromises in order to have a stable life, but not involving dignity or his conscience. He says duty first, but it's because he is working with the dignity of a man. And yes, I can confirm the wife is an idiot to cheat on such a man... "I can overlook the past".... Jiaqi having the confirmation he needed, he still handles it calmly even though he is "bombed" with things that unsettles him and his calm nature. His reaction in the confrontation with Gu Chen is understandable. He is a man, after all, Episode 14."I just want a life calm and steady". This is the wish every adult has in real life, a life that can be not so easy but calm and smooth. I want to highlight in ep 13 and 14 Jiang Jiaqi quite throwing the mobile phone on the desk, not putting it calmly like it has done before those moments. This shows his mental stress to balance what is right and calm to do and his inner feeling he is trying to keep at guard. On another side, Gu chen's "In this world what matters isn't morality but competence" is exactly because he is confident in his own abilities, but he is not aware he is throwing all of it with his behaviour, because he is so confident he thinks he can do everything. And we are halfway now. I'm preparing a long and detailed review analysis of this drama.
for me it's exactly the opposite... the big NO was the kdramas, too much useless comedy
People considering comedy useful in life are weak for me, is it a problem? not my problem. I don't like weak people, I'm sorry, I despise them and criticise them. Weakness is negative, and sorry but I don't want to be infected. It's your problem appreciating something like comedy, which I think it makes people stupid, not my problem. I like realism, I prefer dramas than destroys me with tears, anxiety and realism rather than comedy. And sorry but kdramas has always the disgusting attitude, they fear depression and anxiety. I watch dramas since 2014 and I have never cried for a single kdrama, yes, not even My Mister while instead I laughed. I don't watch dramas to laugh. You can like that attitude, but not everyone likes it. My Mister has a good plot ruined by comic relief, because those actions are not real life situations like in the remake, but in the original those scenes are created for the purpose of changing the mood in a lighter atmosphere, and sorry but this things disgust me not only in this drama. Mood shoud NEVER be lightned nor be lighthearted. My Mister could have been 10++ , not 8.9, but they ruined completely because of shallow and disgusting and vicious villainess attitude of making things more lighthearted. Why? What's the purpose? what's the teaching? In the remake, those scenes does NOT make the drama lighter, but they show real life situations you and me can live in real life. If you support comedy and lighthearted attitude it's ok. I gave My Mister 3 only because there was IU in the cast, but I would have given 1 because I was NOT moved at all except the laughter. No emotions, no realism, no teachings, no moral values, no moral integrity. Where is the meaning in watching My Mister if I can't have any sort of moral teaching from it? You like Korea attitude, I would like to open their head to see if they have a bare minimum of brain or they are shallow and void like their attitude in dramas. I respect their way of doing in drama, but all the kdramas I watched, My mister too, made me feel like vomiting because of this attitude, and it's not only about disabilities but every topic they use I only find flaws and not only one. I can't find anything positive starting from the lighthearted exaggerated obsession they have, same level of plastic surgery obsession that makes me consider them as eerie and creepy. You would never see me praise korea or kdrama, exactly because i don't like exaggerated comedy. I hope this is enough to explain why cdramas only satisfy me the best.
for me it's exactly the opposite... the big NO was the kdramas, too much useless comedy
I can't understand why kdrama fans always have to assume that everyone likes korea and kdrama, is it a rule?is it a law? Do you know how many people out there does not like korea? stop living in a bubble and open your mind. not everyone watches drama to become stupid because of laughters. I prefer authority and moral integrity over barbarian p*rn. I prefer a moral teaching rather than useless comedy. I'm not a child wanting to ecape reality nor a fangirl basing my tastes on hadsome actors. I'm not a child needing a breath from reality. Life is beautiful as it is, with tears and happiness at the same time. Deleting anxiety and depression from life is not accepting it, and sorry I'm not so immature. Yes, weakness is avoiding depression because you want to escape from real life. Even in real life, I take distance from this kind of people. You can like what you want, I can like what I want. That's why I stick with cdramas only.
for me it's exactly the opposite... the big NO was the kdramas, too much useless comedy
I'm not contradicting myself. I am a person who loves coherence in drama's ending, i don't mind anything else. It IS weakness if you need happy ending. If coherence wants me shattered in pieces, I want this from a drama, not an happy ending. Not everything needs happiness, fairytales are for children. There is no rule that states dramas are for entertainment, China banned pure entertainment because no one likes it. Dramas are not for it. And yes, it is indees being weak and fragile if you can't stand tragic ending, sorrow, anxiety and depression without a bit of comedy and laughter. That's why I love cdramas more, Arts works through limits and prohibitions according to civilisation. China bans p*rn, Korea allows it. This is a big difference for me to understand who is the civilised one and who is a barbarian.
Ughhh this was so good, I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on this version for so long. I saw the Korean version…
This is why this is the original and way better than the Korean remake. I agree with everything you said, and it's not a matter of comparison but about the way they develop the plot. This original one if very faithful to the novel and it's more like a chorus of characters with witty women with their own femininity but strength.
I agree with everything you said and I believe that in Chinese dramas you often get more depth in the characters…
This is exactly the reason for me Chinese dramas are far superior and way better than kdrama, even considering Chinese minidramas. Depth and teaching is something necessary for a drama. For people wanting to go blank and sleep on life without thinking and only relax, kdramas are ok. For people wanting something more, some more content than relax, kdramas can't satisfy them and they need cdramas. Cdramas are shorter than kdrama because each episode last less, but at the same time they dive more into the context and the internal dimension of each character, and this needs time not only a few number of episodes. Chinese dramas are way more realistic, deep, mature and for introvert people, I'm strongly convinced about it
And I agree with you to this point, that's why I avoid things I don't like and i stick to cdramas only. For me, what you said is an enormous mistake no nation should do, because it's offensive towards those people that should live normally. Chinese dramas always treated them with respect, maybe they stop at a 80-90% about going deep but they dive into it, they don't use them as tools for entertainment. I did some examples, but no kdramas ever satisfied me fully like cdramas always do no matter then genre. I respect people liking cdramas, but i don't like their attitude of forcing others or having the assumption everyone likes kdrama, because it's not true. Asking like you did is ok, because you can understand and respect without forcing people.
and sticking to entertainment, I LOVE how China banned pure entertainment officially, because it's for children and dramas are not for children. China controls everything in their dramas, before a drama needs to be perfect and having an important message to convey for real life, a teaching and not entertainment. I support their strict control because I am picky and I want everything to be checked, i don't mind waiting 10 years for a drama like for Fated General ( 2017, passed review in 2025), koreans are too long, umbearable suffering 60+ minutes or 90 minutes each ep, too much free time maybe? then they film and release just after without any post production, and i don't like it at all because they are inconsistent in the setting ( terrible mistakes in historical setting and dresses or terrible western-made clothes and furniture in modern). This are thing you need MANDATORY to check and discard producing a drama, and korea keeps using them and using that way. And this is the opposite of what i look for in a drama. And more, i found they can't bare depression and anxiety so they need to put comedy and lightheart everywhere. If my child or a friend of mine would have authism, attorney woo would be an enormous insult for me, because they cared more for the romance rather than authism. crash landing on you should have been about war but it's romance... So sorry, korean cringe trash is unserious and not my cup of tea.
China and SK are totally different. When China fell, the nation raised again on its own, SK sold herself to USA as it is still today, a colony not even independent. China is still a Confucian country and even with plastic surgrery they won't ever reach the disgusting monster level SK has, because sorry, Confucius valued the body as filial piety and you should not change your face completely. Moral integrity is valued in China, that's why p*rn is illegal in China while SK produces drama or movie with p*rn. Did you forget Frozen flower, and rcently Queen woo or Queen who crowns? That garbage would never be produced by China. I choose China because it's not a colony, because it's strong, dependable, and I love EVERYTHING about China I would never see different. Western values starting from liberal democracy have no appeal to me, while SK is indulging in it. Chinese people rejected it too. And no, I would su***ice myself rather than distancing myself from China, because it's the best nation ever for me. SK can't cope with China, not now and not ever in this life or afterlife, Lastly, all that fake plastic in korean trash production is fake, since they are such a colony to rely on netflix or viki, rather than having their own platforms. I won't ever distance to China, because China is the best. See it with YML case, and i talk as a fan. People jumping on conclusions rather than getting into Chinese language and getting the gear of it... China poor? that's want sinophobic and western wants you to believe, because tons of people chose to live in China and stay there because they live well and for sure with a high level of security. I would be scared even to travel to SK, they serve Usa, so I bet they have guns everywhere and they can use it against me. I don't trust them, sorry, not their trash entertaiment, Out of respect for My mister fans, I would refrain myself to say what i think about original ML. So please, continue to watch what you like, but people like me exist and we are a lot. We love strong and free countries, not dependent from the west and with barely any contact with the west. And don't tell me SK is this kind of country.
