Voice (2019)

This remake of the KDrama did not have Jang Hyuk or Kim Jae Wook, so that meant they really had an uphill road to climb for me to really like it.
But I have been bothered more & more by Lee Ha Na - I always did like her but not so much now. This really became obvious as I watched this version - because I MUCH prefer the Thai actress!!!
That said, the story is pretty much the same. I feel some details were left out of this one, but it wasn't terribly noticeable until the last episode, where our killer's back story wasn't filled in as much, nor was the hunt for his lair as exciting. Not sure why since both had the same number of episodes.
Our male lead did a great job of being a crazy obsessed cop, & our killer really outdid himself - neither were quite as good as the Korean leads, but they still managed to put their own unique take on their characters.
I found this very watchable, and entertaining - I'd highly recommend it to anyone, in fact.

great ML, ok actors. needed better writers

at the time of this review I'm still only at ep04.
I didn't like the character Aran at first. but he's now become my favorite. the actor playing him did an awesome job.
but....
the script....
is really bad.
very poor dialogues. some scenes felt too draggy and just too preachy lol.
the female lead is ok; her acting is good but her dialogues sometimes just doesn't sound very sensical. some of her scenes make her character being top of the game very questionable too.
some scenes just ran a bit longer than what I think is necessary, with a lot of actions and dialogues that the series can do without//
