A good retelling of the original, but not flawless
Minor spoilers?
Unlike the chinese one this doesn't have a clif hanger ending, which is a plus, but there is a lot of questions not really answered and the pacing is a bit bizare at times, with details that were present the whole time in the other show just kind of appearing at random a few episodes in, such as Hero and Poppy's girlfriends. Hero is also a lot less aggresively horny than Gu Hai, but even dialed back about 900% he is still very much insane. But still, the shows pretty good, and i enjoyed it enough to give it a 8/10. A lot of the reviews here have issues with the acting and chemistry and maybe i have low standards, but i thought they all did ok. If anything the worst part was the side couple that just kind of phase in and out of the story at random. I'm aslo still not sure what was up with the opening flash forward either, but maybe the extended version answers that.
