Un amour si beau (2020)

a disclaimer, i didn't watch the original chinese drama. this is a super super supeeeeeer light drama (or web drama) and a very cute, bubbly and fun one. personally, i kinda enjoy it since watching it ongoing with only 20 minutes each episode wasn't that bad. the early episodes (school part) was a hit or miss for me since it wasn't really cohesive and it was like an event after another. so some episodes were super cute and very funny, some were just plain boring. the adult part was better since it was cohesive and i was excited to watch next episode but that part was so short, i guess it was only from ep19. their friendship was my favourite part as well as the osts!! i love loveable by kim jong kook a lot and sinb version was great too. storyline wise, don't expect anything, just accept that this was super light non-cohesive fun drama, and that's how i managed to enjoy this. the acting was okay but sometimes i kinda feel like so ju yeon cuteness were a little bit forced, other than that, it was okay.

Nice, quick watch for destressing

To be honest, I don't really remember the Chinese version of this drama very well because I watched it over a year ago. I have to say, though, this version of the drama left me with a much better impression than the Chinese Drama. The story was quick but not rushed, and I have to say that I liked the way the main leads were written in this drama a lot better. I'm still always going to be team Wu Bosong/Woo Dae Sung because I still think Cha Heon/Jiang Chen is a piece of crap human being for putting the FL through so much heartache. Both dramas had a really catchy theme song, and I could definitely feel the magic that the Chinese Drama had in the Korean version as well. I wasn't the biggest fan of either of these dramas, but I needed something to watch on Netflix during a time that I couldn't really invest in a more serious drama, and this did the trick. My overall attitude toward Cha Heon was a lot better than for his Chinese counterpart (don't know why - I just hated the ML in the C version), however I think they should have picked a different actor for the role. Kim Yo Han's acting skills majorly lacked compared to his co-stars, and I found his expressions and lines to be largely stiff and unconvincing. While there's also been criticism for the FL, I have a soft spot for So Ju Yeon, so I kind of don't mind haha. This drama is nothing revolutionary, but the overall product was a lot better than its Chinese version, in my own humble opinion. I’d recommend if you have time to kill or are into this sort of thing :)
