A really bad remake of a REALLY good Chinese Drama
I am always sceptical towards remakes but also looking forward to them with the hope of them doing a fair job of the original.
This fell flat on its head. If this was a standalone korean drama It would be average, now when you compare it to the original it feels so shallow in every single way.
After I finished this remake I went back and re-watched Go Ahead and confirmed it again, how superior Go Ahead is.
Go Ahead is one of my favorite Chinese dramas, even that had flaws in the storyline which was fairly annoying. But it was overall a GREAT drama.
Go ahead obviously changes some things here and there which is common in a remake and I don't mind that.
I have several issues with the drama personally.
Acting: The acting is no where near the level of the Chinese drama.
Go ahead managed to show such intense emotions you could literally feel the sorrow deep within you. I hardly felt that all with this, everything felt so shallow and "fake"
Meanwhile the comedic parts was nowhere near Go Ahead, you could see they tried to bring it in but not even close, and some parts were just so horribly bad and fake it was sad to watch.
The progression was WAY to fast, I thought Go Aheads youth pace was way to fast. This just plows through stuff. Obviously Korean dramas are not as long as typical Chinese dramas, but it felt bad after watching the original.
It was a good try, but not no where near good enough.
If you only watched this Korean remake I STRONGLY suggest you watch the original Go Ahead.
