As a dude who is watching this....
I honestly feel Hulu aka Disney+ executives had their way with this title. Watched my thousand of hours of k-dramas but as man trying to finish this piece was quite difficult. Frankly this drama should have been 12 episodes. Pink Min Young as expected flat. She has a underlying resting b$tch face I can not get pass. Appears to be always angry. The ML is s stoic, someone told him he needs to follow her lead and be her support period. that's it. He tall, rich, handsome and can fight. checked off all the boxes. I understand his back story but what made him "come alive" as a person? I must protect her? NO.Song Ha Yoon steals the show. She’s the villain in this story. But she’s amazing. Damn didn’t know she had such range as an actress. Very impressive. After coming off of “Devilsh Joy” where she’s a sweet angel from heaven to this story where’s she’s a crazy murderous wrench of a women… wow. And her character in this piece was complex. She gets all the cookies for this drama.
Plus “I can save her” ..... had to say it.
The drama sucks monkey balls. It has Hulu influence all over it. Strong feminist girl power vibes and it’s not balanced. The men are made to look like betas. The consistent berating of men. The constant kicking them in the groin, Annoying. Not a typical Korean dramas so you can definitely tell this had American influence. Please understand we left "woke" Hollywood to avoid watching such cringe for such this reason.
That’s my two cents.

We all know what we were going into too
Watching this version of the series made me go back and watch the story from 2003 . Wished this took a deep dive into the physiological aspects as to why Sumire-chan wanted a pet. Loved Noriko Iriyama in the role, she was faithful to her character. Loved the twist from Fukushima Shiori character and the addition of Aiba Shinobu. This story was updated for a more modern audience providing more closure than the 2003 version. Yes it different, but like most Jdramas, there is deeper meaning layered underneath. Loved the OST, watched the last at least 4 times.Was this review helpful to you?
