Cásate con mi esposo

Having watched the Korean version, this version was very disappointing.

I did not watch the webtoon and I suppose many did not as well. I did see the Korean version first and so I had high expectations of the Japanese version.

The majority of the problems came down to poor writing in my opinion.

Both had good actors but the Japanese version had hits and misses on this, some shone through all the time, others were spotty at best.

Overall, I so enjoyed the slight comic moments in the Korean series. Honestly the only thing I did not enjoy in the Korean series was the ML's ex-fiancée and all that came along with her. Her involvement ended well but added an element that should have been kept to a minimum, (in my opinion).

The Japanese version sorely missed out big time on one element that was just common sense in any intelligent persons view. BUYING STOCKS AND MAKING MONEY FROM IT SINCE YOU KNEW THE FUTURE. They mentioned they knew the future so many times yet did not take advantage of it. They listed one negative or all the things they could NOT DO, but missed out on the advantageous things they COULD DO.... duh.

All and all I prefer the Korean version and watched it again. This only moved me to think, just ok.

Personally i'm not really into J-drama but this one is good, watch until ep 8 (since 2 last episode will be aired next week).

This version is a bit more realistic for friendship between female lead antagonist and i got the chemistry more. Cinematography also nice and the warm tone color give more melancholic vibes.

However, if you haven't watch the korean version or maybe the webtoon/novel, you might find this drama a bit confusing since there are lots of scenes deleted from the original, so far. Some plot a bit rushed and need more build up for the climax.

I can't wait to watch the final episode and will update my review.

Just finished episode 6 and I can't wait to watch more every Friday. Personally I like this version so much better than the KDRAMA. The original version is a WEBTOON comic so the KDRAMA version is NOT the original. And so far I think the JDrama does a great job of showing the personalities of the characters, especially the Director. He may seem reserved but he genuinely cares about Misa and will whatever it takes to save her. I love their relationship and how gentle he is with her. The flow of the story is paced very well, and although some parts are different from the WEBTOON I can still tell where we are in the story. I can't wait to keep watching.

This is better than the Korean version primarily because the actors seem more relatable to actual people than a doll-like version. The acting has more depth, even though the storyline is the same.

The FL and ML have used the entirety of facial expression to carry out the conversation. The ML beautifully uses the longing looks to convey his unrequited love. The FL does appear to maintain the essence of her previous life as a housewife through her apparent transformation. So that we can see a grown woman through the metamorphosis. This was missing in the Korean version. Loved it.

Mostly because there was not enough passion and chemistry between the leads for me.

FL was good enough and tried hard with all those emotions, but ML was not. Always frozen without any indication of his feelings and his long, long hidden desire, Also, the ending felt a bit weird for me as well, not that satisfying as I'd like it to be.
