I didn’t except to enjoy it more than the Korean one !
I didn’t expect to say that at all but I enjoyed this version much more than the Korean one.
Since I didn’t like nevertheless i decided to not watch this one knowing I’m gonna hate the toxicity and the characters. But I gave it a try because of the male lead. I really loved seeing the actor in another Japanese drama and I wanted to see him more.
And I’m glad I did. Because clearly this version was very different in a way that I really loved it. I found both leads so refreshing compared to the Korean ones. (I’m talking about the characters).
Korean version : We had a male lead as toxic a big red flag who didn’t show a real growth.
Japanese version : we saw here with Ren a human aspect of him. He wasn’t toxic , we saw a man who was afraid to get hurt. Who wasn’t arrogant or too cold. We understood better his personality here because they showed us more emotional depths of this character which is really good.
Meanwhile the female lead character :
In Korean version – she became the red flag, she was so… (I didn’t liked her tbh) I don’t know what to say but I remember i couldn’t keep supporting her in the end it was unbearable.
But with the Japanese version – here she was quiet, hurt but hopeful. More importantly she knew how to deal with many situations. She didn’t look desperate.
I was also happy to see them together here when I was completely desperate in the Korean version because they were so toxic to each other. And I hated to see them ending up together 🙄
