Worthy of Returns
I have returned to this version several times and have never been let down. Although the version I watch is from DailyMotion, and therefore lacking original music, I believe, the quality is still high and the strength of the story, acting and editing still guide you along mostly effortless (a couple of out sequence moments are annoying but inherently common in vertical dramas).
The two leads mesh well, letting the subtlety of their growing attachment and humbling affection lead you along gently. The 2FL is well portrayed in that you believe that she believes she is always right and isn't as one-dimensional as many other female foes. You still love to dislike her, though. The mothers in this adaptation, though rarely on-screen, are delightful and add a warmth to the relationship. The setting and the production don't distract from the story and are organized well.
(DailyMotion): There are a couple of mistakes or tangles in the translation but as long as you ignore them, the subtitles are clear and mostly on point (timing and meaning). I dislike the way that they have flipped the names (Name Surname) for western audiences, though I understand it, as it is rather jarring when you are listening and recognize the names (Surname Names) and then see them in the text. It is a minor annoyance that can be overlooked.
