Better than the original?

The Korean version:
I’ll be honest I saw the Korean version long back and didn’t enjoy it very much except for a few scenes which were really funny! It was pure timepass for me and I didn’t really get attached to the characters as much.

In comparison:
I genuinely didn’t think that I’d like this so much. For the first time in a while, I could find myself connecting with not only the leads but also the supporting cast. In fact I actually prefer this support cast more as they were to intact and funny! I didn’t start this with many expectations but I came to love it as I finished it in less than 24 hours!

Plot:
Two girls with the same name and surname always mistaken for each other- the pretty girl had her pretty pass as the “unlucky” one always felt that the pretty girl took everything from her when in fact it wasn’t anyone’s fault. Years later pretty ploy is about to marry the ML but leaves him on the wedding day. Then the ML mistakes unlucky ploy for pretty ploy and sets out for revenge by sabotaging her wedding.
As the original, it was very very similar although it had a touch of its own. I liked how this one emphasised on the “pretty pass” concept more. Although a few scenes that were in the original were not here (like the iconic scene where the leads are all over each other and the best friend is behind the couch) they pretty much went for 90% of the scenes from the original.

Acting/Cast:
Like I mentioned, I absolutely loved the cast. They seemed comfortable, funny and bonded. I honestly didn’t think that the kissing scenes and many others would actually be as intense as the original but dang I was surprised! I loved the ML’s brother with his girl and his sister with the best friend! It felt warm and real!

Music:
I felt that the music pretty much matches everything.

Overall:
I’m impressed. It was funny, emotional and romantic at the same time. But MAN- the second hand embarrassment I felt for the FL is INSANE- I don’t know I felt so embarrassed every time she did something but man I loved her personality. No matter what she went through- she always put on a smile and positively started each day.

Rewatch Value:
I’d definitely rewatch it if I’m done with my other lakrons and dramas on the list! A nice Sunday with some good food is definitely a good time to rewatch!
