Personally, I didn’t enjoy the drama as much as I’d hoped (just my opinion—others might feel differently). This adaptation missed so many memorable scenes from the original Chinese version! For instance, the Chinese version includes the FL checking if the MLs were wearing their lucky red underwear before the exam, and her announcing her first period. Plus, in the Chinese version, Hae Jun started a bakery for the FL because she loved cakes, while in the Korean version, his character doesn’t appear to be as successful. Similarly, in the Chinese version, San Ha becomes a dentist to help the FL overcome her fear of dental visits, while in the Korean version, he’s portrayed as an orthodontist.
Overall, the Korean adaptation didn’t capture the deep bond between the characters, which was crucial to the story’s charm. With much of the focus on family conflicts, the narrative felt a bit dry, especially compared to the original. Perhaps it’s because the Chinese version had 46 episodes, allowing more character development and storyline depth, while the Korean one only has 16 episodes and felt somewhat rushed. Just my take, though!
