Woori the Virgin

This is an overlong often painful and unfunny comedy. Even 10 would have been too much. The mystery criminal element is so uninteresting. Im Soo Hyang as Woori is not the best actress out there. Having 2 guys fight over her again like in When I was the Prettiest! Please. Her expressions are so annoyingly frustrating. Don't find the Mom and Grandma too endearing.

Sung Hoon should have finished Love Marriage Divorce last season instead of this. The side characters like Mari and her mom all act rings around Woori.

Don't bother with this dud. An unnecessary Korean version of a Hollywood show that wasn't that great to begin with. Unlike 18 Again which was better and expanded the story. A step back for rom coms.

Not even Noah's ark can carry these sexless virgins. The general impression is justified, however, its perceived problem is far from being the only problem. The drama is a good case study to be examined for newcomers in the industry, especially screenwriters. These 14 episodes were absolutely marvelous in stacking up a web of irrecoverable problems. I'm not sure if it takes a talent to achieve that or the lack of it. I didn't major in theater, literature, or creative writing, but I can certainly conclude that Jang Ah Mi, the writer of this abomination, is an inept writer. She had no idea what she wanted to do or accomplish. She even had a reference from the source material to help. Writers like her make me reluctant to get into shows with a screenwriting debut credit.

It started out really good and funny, but after a few episodes Woori started to be very annoying. You would wonder why the two lead men are going crazy over her. I mean she always has this dumb look and pretentious innocence, nothing special about her except for being accidentally pregnant. Why do Koreans like "naive" female lead characters? And everytime she speaks she has to stammer .. why? I hope writers can be more bold and create characters who are more likeable.

I honestly understand when certain countries make spin-offs of certain shows, but Jane the Virgin covered so many vital issues to the hispanic community and I feel like "Woori" the Virgin just captured the artificially inseminated part. If you watch the OG first, then the remake after - it feels like a downgrade because there aren't many original components (the crime, passion, villain redemption etc..). This show has no point to be honest, just watch the original as it is - why make a remake?

I tried to calm down and take a breather before writing this, but nah I'm still angry! How they did Sung Hoon will haunt me for life! And I'm more annoyed cause I liked most of the show on its own without comparing it to the original but WHY WRITER WHY!!! First off, let's not get it twisted. Sung Hoon is innocent and not to blame for these terrible reviews, HE CAME AND DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO PERIODT 😤 He brought out a new goofy, lighthearted earnest sweetness to the original USA Rafael, like actually had Justin Baldoni shaking with how amazing he portrayed Raf. And I love og Rafael, that's bae, but Sung Hoon created a whole Korean Raphael bae and THATS HOW Y'ALL REPAY HIM!?! 😡🌋 Woori wouldn't deserve him if she was the actual Immaculada!

Secondly, who tf is Shin Dong Wook? I'm actually asking cause he seems to never have had a lead role before so putting him up against Sung Hoon literally makes no sense. For him to be a viable choice for Woori he'd have to be an actor at Sung Hoon's level like disrespect is at all levels!

Thirdly, I'm no Woori fan just like i wasn't no fan of Jane in the USA version cause she also played too much BUT DAMN the way y'all hate Im Soo Hyang I'd only wish that on my worst enemy! What did she do murder your first born? Poison your grandma like? The hate she gets reeks of the same brand of hate given to Song Hye Kyo for her acting in Now, We Are Breaking Up which to me is giving misogyny and I'm not explaining it just is lol.

Finally, lol, I actually had a lot of fun watching this for the most part! The side characters made the roles their own, living up to the originals and then some. Hong Ji Yoon's version of Petra was hilariously unhinged, (side note: I always like her in shows I wonder why she's not in more things as a lead she's so funny). The matriarchal family which is a huge thing in USA Jane the Virgin is there. Woori's mom and grandma are the cutest most loving supportive women. And when her dad joins he's great too. That's why what. They. Did. Is. UNFORGIVABLE!

Let me go rewatch the USA Jane the Virgin for the 50th time just to feel something!!!
