A decent watch, though with a not very satisfying development of the leads backstories and a fast-forward feeling to it, but entertaining enough. In any case, if the only purpose of watching a remake is the comparison with the original series, then I don't really see the point of such a time investment...
Can a drama with a protagonist having all the flaws of an antagonist (cold, highly ambitious, arrogant, selfish, manipulative, self-righteous, petty and awfully scheming) be addicting and entertaining? Yes, if Shin Ha Kyun is the main lead!
One of the most disappointing remakes... Woori's badly written (and acted) character was not in the slightest close to the quirky, creative and adorable 'original' character of Jane - a real waste of time :/
A heartwarming coming of age movie, full of nostalgia and childhood summer vibes. A bittersweet story delivered by some talented child actors' delightful performances.
An enjoyable action/comedy manga adaptation, despite its flaws. Its main advantages are the great cast and their memorable personas, as well as the impressively choreographed action scenes. Though the movie's multi-genre mixture (slapstick humor, parody, action, thriller, drama, romance) makes the story rather inconsistent and imbalanced sometimes, the fact that it definitely doesn't take itself seriously is what makes it unique and entertaining.
Dark and intense, painfully raw, infuriatingly violent, emotionally thought-provoking. Definitely not for everyone, especially for the faint of heart...
One of the most affectionate, down-to-earth, wholesome slice-of-life dramas! Exceptionally detailed in every aspect: not even one character is unnecessary, not even one line or moment of silence is in excess, not even a scene is a filler... A real gem and a well-deserved 10/10 in my book.

Nothing very memorable, but entertaining for a weekend binge-watch.
Yes, if Shin Ha Kyun is the main lead!
