It would have been easier to keep the bartender as the killer, like in the J-drama; at least that would have made this remake less bad, and the ending could have been a bit more realistic (melancholic and realistic) with some changes, instead of a predictable, bittersweet, and happy ending. They couldn't even manage the basics, which is to directly adapt one of the most critically acclaimed and award-winning Japanese dramas. Korean dramas used to be better. And don't bother me, I'll block you immediately. People are entitled to their own opinions, and mine is that I hated this K-drama and only kept watching because of Wi Ha-joon, because nobody deserves to have to look at that actress's expressionless face on my TV.
Taking a J-drama focused on thriller with a secondary romance, with themes of guilt, crime, and loneliness, with a melancholic and realistic ending, and remaking it into a film that only focused on romance and secondary thriller with a bittersweet, cliché, and lazy ending, one of the most successful Japanese productions in terms of critical acclaim and awards, requires a lot of courage and zero understanding of Korea. The character, with traumas and accusations caused by crimes that left her mental health in very bad shape, suddenly recovers from all of that easily and goes to live with the love of her life 🙃 Wi Ha-joon was the only one who managed to deliver something good in this K-drama.
