I really really hope that kim seung woo, kim so yeon, & kim min jong will come back for this as one of the main characters and not just as a guest or a cameo. Their characters were the most interesting in iris and athena for me...
I can't stop watching the scene where the 4 guys met for the first time. It's funny how Yoon got involved with the 3 of them just because Jung Rok wants his shoes... :))
I don't usually like squeaky girls who talk too much.. but my gosh, do I adore Me Ah Ri's character... as for the main female character, I'm not really liking her that much so far. She acts a little too ditzy at times that it feels unnatural.
I find these kind of "forbidden love" intriguing however, I'm not a fan of pairings wherein the girl is older than the guy especially if it's by a huge gap. But I have to say, while watching this, I found myself kind of rooting for them... hehe
For those who are currently watching this and have watched the Japanese version, which one is better? :)
Haha. I got the feeling that they'll focus more on romance here when I tried to watch the 1st ep and saw that jin's girlfriend doesn't resemble the gisaeng character but park min young's instead...
For those who are currently watching this and have watched the Japanese version, which one is better? :)
yeah, it's probably because of the format of 16+ episodes of korean dramas that gives it a tendency to drag a little bit. I'm halfway done the season 1 of Jin, and I'm finding it really good.
I'm thinking of watching this after I finish Jin since I'm curious with how the dr. jin and gisaeng character is played. hehe. I love Ayase Haruka in JIn so I hope Park Min Young does well here (not really a fan hehe).. :)
I've watched the Korean version of this drama.Can anyone tell me how the two versions differ or which one is better?
Me too. I find that Korean dramas have much more variety but I'm not always 100% satisfied with how they execute it. It tends to be either too slow or the ending is kind of a letdown or too cheesy for my taste. Japanese dramas have just the right mix. hehe. anyway, was Kagi no Kakatta good? I was planning on watching it but I'm not a fan of detective shows. :|

True.. I just started watching the Japanese version, and I'm quite intrigued with it so far... I'm still curious with this so I'll probably watch it after I finish Jin.

Thanks! I wanted to watch this version at first, but it does seem like a lot of people are saying that the Japanese was better so I guess I'll watch that instead. Thanks again! :)

You're welcome. Yes, try it! I watched it like 3 years ago and it's still my favorite drama to date. But yeah, you might like the korean one better since you've seen it first. Hope you still enjoy Maou though! :)

I think the korean version focuses more on the detective while the japanese one focuses more on the lawyer..
The korean version was also more mysterious as the identity of the criminal was kind of hidden in the beginning whereas in the japanese version, it was already revealed in the 1st episode. However, the japanese has more suspense since you see it more from the criminal's perspective and it was also a lot more emotional for me.
A lot of the investigation process and details were cut in the japanese since they only have 11 episode to tell the story..
There was also no "love triangle" factor in the japanese, although there weren't really any in the korean version as well..
There are a few other changes done in the japanese version which I personally liked. However, this is coming from someone who has seen Maou first so I'm a little biased towards it :)
