Woori the Virgin

I was so disapointed in the ending that it just made the whole thing a waste of time.

With a few little changes it was practicaly the same thing as "Jane the Virgin". The only reasons I watched this drama was beacuse of Sung Hoon and beacuse I absolutely loved the US version of this series.

Jane is a loveable character that absolutely loves each man in a very different way, unfortunately I didn't see this in Woori. There was so much missing that I pushed myself to watch it till the end. And when I finally get there it was everything I had dreaded and more.

Usually I don't read reviews cause I like to make my own opion... I should have read this one.

Korean Drama " Woori The Virgin " is the remake of the American-Latin series, giving it a Korean twist, with the Korean family dynamics, the chaebol culture, and the cheesy twists.

The drama follows loosely the original plot, with the prompt of the pregnancy taking another turn and giving the creators new ground to work on. Thus, the drama focuses more on the family values, even when it came to the villains and the big criminal case. Those family dynamics were probably what saved the drama most of the time and gave some comical relief with the side stories.

On the other hand, the love triangle was boring and tragically cheesy, with little chemistry and many cliche twists.

As for the performances, they were all great by everyone in the cast.

The cinematography also did a good job with the mood of the drama, keeping it light and fluffy.

So, overall, 3 out of 10.

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.

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.

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!!!
