I am someone who actually watched the Korean Version first, and loved it so much I watched the Taiwanese version.…
I agree !! .....LMAO over the Chen Baron comment... But I did like the actor; to me, he's more handsome than Ethan Ruan.
and Wow !!! You just reminded me of some of the silliness .... I remember the islanders were very silly, but some of them were also very funny! .... I still prefer the comedy of the K-version tho , it was very smart !!!
Very Manly .... He's the definition of Smexy !!!.... Very attractive and an excellent actor w/ lots of charisma on screen! ... and always Confident, mature and intelligent! Would love to see more of him... ... Simply love his irresistible charm!
---->>> Very well written, great character development , Excellent acting, very good story, good pace…
I know about SWAK... I read excerpts translated from the novel on JoleCole.Blogspot .... She was stronger in the novel .... and it seems the author had her handle her situation in a psychologically realistic rather than idealistic (i.e. romanticized) way....
And that's why I liked "Sawan Biang" more ... b/c the writers (and the acting) created well-developed characters, w/ behavior that made sense psychologically.
I disagree when it comes to Last Cinderella. It was obvious from episode one that she and Tachibana were pretty…
Totally agree w/ you , "made for each other " !!! ....
But , the audience was polled , and the viewers chose who she ends up with.... Still, I choose to believe she regained her senses , and went back to the one she's meant for ...XD
Do NOT watch this! She picks the wrong guy and its heartbreaking.
The audience was polled to pick which guy she ends up w/.... the viewers chose the ending !
I also do NOT agree w/ her final choice as to which guy she chose , BUT , the drama is still Very Good and worth watching !!! .... ....
Besides , I choose to believe she ended up changing her mind and going w/ the guy I like for her !!!
so I recommend : People , WATCH this drama, it is worth it !!!
The producers polled the audience to decide which man she'll end up with... they filmed 2 endings ....
If you're disappointed she ended up w/ Hiroto, I agree w/ you .... It does not make sense .... She is a much better fit w/ Tachibana .... Have a fling w/ the young guy... But .... get Real !!! ... Tachibana is better for her future, and they have much more in common.
I mean Miura Haruma is very cute , but Naohito is very handsome also .... Two gorgeous men ! .... ...... ...... the audience must have been very young , at least the ones who responded to the online poll that is :(
I think I'm in the minority here. While I thought the k-version was overhyped, when I got around to watching it…
True, true ...... I also liked the continuity of the Korea story-line here .... But that alone is not enough ..... .... and Mike is good looking, but Rain is very sexy and cute also ..... ..... I could not stand the female in this version , Song Hye-Kyo was adorable in the K-version, and a much better actress - cute, not childish or annoying...
Despite the K-version having some issues , it still had lots of memorable moments....
I have re-watched the K-version .... I would Not re-watch this version !

I am w/ you.... I found this version a bit like the teenage shows on the Kids' channel Nickelodeon. Very childish...
But the story had its good parts, in some places better than the K-version...
Nonetheless , as a whole , the K-version is much better w/ better humor, better characters, and better acting.
Just watched the 1st 10 minutes and had to stop and comment about Krit, the lead actor (my 1st encounter w/ him):
1st - He's more handsome than the photo w/ nice eyes and a Great smile! ...... 2nd - he makes a beautiful woman, ...... 3rd - He's a very good actor ...... 4th - he has loads of charm and charisma ......
...... What a Manly man !.....Complete Fangirling xD
EDIT: Finished it, but stuck w/ it just for Chakrit's sake.... Really drags towards the end... Por is a very good actor, and also worth watching him and his character.... the lead actress is OK,!... out of her league w/ the very Manly ChaKrit...
Krit is very passionate, but the script did not have enough umphh , despite having lots of fun parts!!!
Does anyone want to comment on Lee Bum-Soo's clothes at the beginning of the show ??? The skinny cropped pants…
I am telling you, in the last year or so, I have seen the ugliest and most ill-fitting clothes (too tight or too large) on men in dramas ... (from S.Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand)....
It's a virus that has spread all over East Asia (can't tell about other parts of the world, haven't seen them lately)
This is a Bad and Good slap/Kiss ... It started out very interesting ... BUT---> ---- MAIN PROBLEM : the main couple's characters are not appealing ... and the acting by the main couple was so-so .... ---->> He's a Cruel Whinny Idiot ... and... she's a Weak Whinny Doormat! Dome was not able to express the complex emotions the character needed... Kin was just Cruel !!! ... Dome was not able to make Kin vulnerable or sympathetic, so he was NOT Likable ! ...just Hateful!.... Compare him to Ken portraying Kawee "Sawan Biang", where no matter how mean Kawee's actions, I still felt his conflicted emotions, felt the regret and love inside of him despite the outer badness ... so the character was very interesting, sympathetic and thus likable !!! ---->> Supporting actors gave much better performances. ---->> Writers should Not have introduced a female villain (maybe it's required in lakorns :P) ....... ....... It would have been better if they explored the lead couple's love story w/ the 2 existing love triangles --> (w/ dead wife and w/ Akk). ----> the last few episodes dragged w/ lots of filler. :((
