There is no romantic plot both in the original and in this remake, and I don't think it can be considered even…
And see? you are still talking about the actors, Analysing is analysing in detail even the setting, the path they walk in the street, clothes. In this remake I can see China, in the original i saw New york rather than South Korea, because there is nothing from Korea, starting from the watches, neckties, Ji-An's sunglasses and so on. In a drama, everything matters. You say it's not an analysis, but I can analyse the dialogues comparing and reflecting on the message they convey.
I am still more convinced people brainless wanting relax should never watch dramas in their lives, because it's 2026 and they are still mourning someone cowardly. He was the representation of his character, coward until the very end. I did not like original actor not rhe character, and i am not surprised. I perceive the rotten smell of weak people...

There is no romantic plot both in the original and in this remake, and I don't think it can be considered even…
The scene you mention is at the very end of episode 1 and it simply shows the struggles of human being, which is totally washed away in the original. And i agree to disagree, when korean is too cringe they use modern BGM in historical dramas like mr queen or moon lovers. At least cdramas don't overuse them and they can distinguish between historical and modern. You mentioned what everyone thinks is the best historical thriller, Strange Tales of Tang dynasty, and sorry to say korea stopped with historical dramas since 2012 almost, and never did an historical one without romance.
Acting is EVERYTHING, from the posture of your fingers to your nose and your eyes. That's why I like cdramas, since kdramas have no post production at all. Do you think post production requires only a few months? You don't know how this kind of work should be done properly, that's why even in My Mister you did not notice the Western forniture clearly made in USa, and IU's clothes being fully from USA. Where is korea in My mister? I have never seen it.
IU's Lee Ji-An is a bad character from the start, because unlike Zhifeng's Zhou Yu'an she is weak, a complete idiot refusing to struggle. The scene you mentioned about pulling her grandmother, in the original there is no perception in struggling but almost a duty she should do, not with care at all. Even ML is a weak at its best and still does not change. There is no change in the original, until the last scene with still Western USA ( tailoring and brand pretty clear in IU's suit + ML's suit).
Cdrama won't ever use Western made clothes for their dramas, it's disgusting and I am disgusted from whoever accepts this horrible thing.
I watch dramas not for entertainment, but for teaching. And i have never discussed with a kdrama fan about philosophy, Confucianism, the forniture ( since no one is able to recognise they are not Korea-made), and for historical they don't know korean history.
FL and ML in My Mister NEED TO BE STRONG PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE PLOT, IT'S MANDATORY.
ML is NOT weak as in the original, luckily, that's why i never liked him at all. I HATE weak people in life, sorry.
ML and FL are the real life representation than people NEVER give up in life for a single second in their own lives, they can prefer to stay quiet on their own but NEVER tries to avoid fighting. ML does not fight for a better place in job out of cowardice ( in the original he is a coward 100000%) but out of rationality. I empathise a lot to him.
In the original, I would not have cheated on him because it's wrong, but a simple quite attractive men without any manliness can easily deal to DIVORCE.
In life, if you act coward, you are like a d***ad body.
My Mister should try to TEACH audience to FIGHT in life every single moment, that's why ML say he thinks FL as strong, because she never gives up. Ji-An and Doong in the original are two ridiculous being not even possible to emphatise at all, two cowards they don't want to fight. IU has fish eyes, while Zhifeng in the dramas has a lot of microexpressions. Same goes for ML.
In a drama EVEN THE PANTS YOU WEAR are FUNDAMENTAL to the teaching of the message.
Should I take seriously a drama mellowing depression and anxiety, promoting cowardice and with bad acting? I would be the first one to fire weak people at work, they are a plague and they should be cured from their illness, and i have no fear to say it.
Yes, this remake is far superior because you can LEARN, not being an idiot on a sofa. You can TAKE REAL INSPIRATION to your own life, not relaxing like a brainless person in a bed.
I am blunt, yes, but i'm tired of saying people defending people I despise, meaning weakling. I can't take seriously people accepting weak people in real life and more people not banning korean entertainment from something disgusting like Crash landing on you which is an insult to every normal people with a functioning brain. If you like to watch fairytales dramas with daydreaming weak people, go ahead. I would puke to those products. Dramas are for educational purpose only, not for relax. This is what kdrama fans will never learn nor understand.

Episode 15. "Wake up". Yu'an is reminding an adult, the wife, to stop daydreaming and it's something impactful. She invites adults to face their own real world, their own reality.
Neet to be noticed, the first time they smile sincerely is to each other. And another thing, quite sure Jiaqi mom's house is the same setting used for Go Ahead's family.
I did not expect to find Daoism ideals in this drama but i'm glad to find it. " When you leave everything that makes you happy, a stable work, happy family, what remains is the true us". Jiang Jiaqi in this dialogue is expressing lots of adults' thoughts, because being an adult is not what you want to do, but what you need to do most of the times. It's learning to balance both to lead a stable life. Compared to the remake, I'm personally relating to Jiaqi's point of view, a rational way to think about life.
Yijun is as stupid as the original, but I find her a bit stronger in this remake about her dignity as a woman. She is guilty but she won't ignore her nature as a woman.
Episode 16. How much I LOVED the confrontation between Yijun and Gu Chen, and if Jiaqi forgives her I can perfectly understand, compared to the remake. She refuses to break her dignity. "I was so stupid". She leaved in a fairytale Gu Chen created and now she is ready to wake up.
And an important lesson for us women. Never let a man to see you cry for him, particularly if it's not worth of your tears.
Loved the confrontation with Chen too, it shows how much Yu'An cares for Jiaqi.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
