I was happy to watch, disappointed through the series.
Just finished the drama, and never been more confused in my life. As I was watching it, I fell in love with the male lead, I honestly was routing for him. but as I got to the last episode, I hated everything of it. I practically wasted my time watching it. I thought it was a rom-com series, but what's really confusing is everything that was happens before. I was wondering why people were getting murdered, and why people were planning revenge. The male lead wasn't even the male lead at this point. Rapheal was just a fling, a side character at that. I wonder why they put him on the poster if he wasn't a really big part of Woori life, except the fact that he is the father of the kid Woori was carrying. Woori was practically playing with 2 men feelings by the end of the drama, I would literally accept this drama if she just chose to raise the baby without marrying one of the 2. I am not even going to lie; I am guilty of skipping scenes and watching 2x speed because the plot wasn't moving fast enough. Personally, I didn't like the drama. I haven't finished watching the original Jane the Virgin yet, but this remake was not how I expected. I know it's supposed to be realistic but still I think it should have focused on one male lead instead of playing with 2 of them.Was this review helpful to you?
A romance twisted 180 mid script … into a disaster.
I hate to comment negatively about a script or storyline in a drama but I’m going to in this case. The twisted love triangle ending just didn’t work. Lea Kang Jae played by Shin Dong Wook has zero romantic chemistry in my opinion. Raphael, played by Sung Hoon, was a shown as a caring, kind loving man, who looked good with Woori, by the way, until they twisted him in the end. They even ruined the character of Oh Woo Ri, played nicely by Im Soo Hyang, by having her do a romantic 180 mid script. Since the drama was only 14 episodes it reeked of development issues which are usually handled with some sort of forced ending that never works out. The romance was terrible but it might have worked if they didn’t twist the ending. It’s almost laughable that Woori ends up with the guy who did everything he could to keep her from having the baby. I wonder if the actors were even happy with this twisted mixed up story.Was this review helpful to you?
Annoying FL
The script is terrible, the main girl character is a total bitch. The only good thing about the series: Bad girl character and police character. The acting of the two characters is okay.The rest sucks. The person playing FL can't even make facial expressions due to plastic surgery. She can't even talk properly about her lip fillers. It doesn't even look beautiful after all that plastic surgery. It's very disturbing, I really wonder who supports this woman. It's incredible that the woman managed to become the main character in a few TV series with terrible acting.

“I wonder if the people watching will be happy with the drama” I was very miserable actually
Jfc where do I even start. First off I never watched Jane the virgin so you know this is from an unbiased viewer that doesn’t have the bias of having watched the original, with that out of the way:My first problem rose in around the 6th (give or take) episode, the kiss was horrendous holy sh.. do you know how evidently bad a kiss has to be for a person that hasn’t kissed someone to not only know it’s cringey but to legitimately think the show is better off without kissing? The focus on the kisses made it wayyy worse like if your actors are awful kissers then show it from afar or something but nooooo it had to be in plain view, every kiss took down 5 years from my life span.
Second problem: unnecessary plot. They put too much focus on the crime plot like sir I DO NAWT CARE they failed to make it interesting and dragged it for too long
Third: Lack in reasoning behind characters actions. So many characters did things out of character and then on top of that their reasoning was sh-t
Overall By episode 9 I was full on skipping scenes, having it as background noise the last episode I skipped the entire episode and watched the last thing and I audibly cringed like cmon now.
The female lead was awful she cannot act wtf this is my first time actually saying this about someone because I never notice but this one was actually so obvious it gave me physical pain
The baby was the best actor you did great sweetie
Conclusion save yourself don’t bother

Abandon hope all ye who enter her
Watched till the end, dearly HOPING to see something that will justify the TOTAL waste of my time!It starts strong, building a pile of expectations, to then kill you with boredom.
The weird mix of badly written melodrama with pointless thriller/crime drama made me sick to death.
Epic fail on both plots! Most of the scenes make no sense at all, like written by 1st grade student with attention difficult disorder. It even has drops of comedy in it, just to add to the oddness.
Romance is annoying and bizarre... even unhealthy at times. There is no clear ML and SML .
Lacklustre and disappointing !
At least it triggers tons of emotions.... of anger, disappointment and frustration :) after finishing the drama.
After hundreds of dramas this was the one that made me write a review.

Not sure about all the hate...
Not sure about all the hate but this is not an awful show as others may have perceived it. I agree that it's not a superb show. There are even lots of comedy scenes that didn't hit the mark. But I like that it showcased the importance of family, and that family is not about blood but about quality time you shared.I also like that the female lead is not feeble-minded on deciding who she wants to spend her life. Even though she has 2 men vying for her attention, she didn't take it for granted and didn't play with their emotions. She didn't go back and forth on both men. She was decisive and I think it's a good trait.
I also like that they added a mix of suspense/detective scenes, as well as a bit of a bromance.

Disappointing and Boring
I am officially dropping this after the 7th episode. Watching it became a chore and I am not enjoying the plot anymore. The acting is bad, both from the female Woo ri and male lead Raphael. How can a chaebol son act like that as if he is some spineless dude? Zero chemistry too. Sorry but I really didn’t like their acting.The show tried to inject comedy but also failed. Scenes were corny. Glad I have saved time and moving on to other more interesting dramas. Music? Nothing special.
I don’t recommend this show. Much better see the original Jane the Virgin.
P.S.
Sorry but I just need to get this off my chest. I am distracted by the FL’s nose that looks like Voldemort’s. It takes away my concentration on her facial expressions and acting on screen. Just an opinion.

I like it!
"Woori the Virgin" is a fun drama. I did watch all seasons of "Jane the Version." If you think " Woori the Virgin" is silly, it is not as campy as "Jane the Version." Both are fun, and they are not serious dramas. If you crave a deep and profound drama, this is not for you; however, this is your jam if you want a fun and light romantic comedy.I am enjoying it, and I love all the actors, my favorite is the Grandmother. My only complaint is it may be too short. If you like a comedic romantic comedy, then I believe you will enjoy both shows.

Below average, terrible ending.
This is only my opinion, others may have a different opinions.Because I always watch the completed drama before I give a fair rating, I had to watch the whole drama. This is drama was below average when you compare it to other kdrama standards. Even though kdramas that are remade are usually better than the original, this drama was worse. The ending is also choking in acting, scripting, and turn of events.
I know dramas are most likely viewed as a mean for entertainment only. But sadly, that is not the case. People do get influenced by what they see.
I truly didn't like the messeges this drama was trying to relay.

MOST disappoint story ever
I feel really Sorry for all three lead cast members for being part of this Nonsense thingMany people find ending disappointing because it was claimed loved but was actually a compromise. Woori
Woori feel something missing in her relationship and that was Love from her side, Only kang jae loved her in there whole relation
then she got pregnant and male lead enter into her life
she feel attracted to charming playboy with lot of money and fancy car, so she somehow blamed her boyfriend and brake up with him,
then holy Woori give her First kiss to playboy which she was saving from her boyfriend kang jae because she never loved her boyfriend enough to give up her church teachings but for our playboy she will do anything
that shows she love playboy and he is her first love and first kiss
kang jae was her loyal Dog they even said that he is loyal so she choose him not because she love him
and playboy will be allowed to enter there home whenever he want because he is father of child so she will be kissing and sleeping with her lover with her husband knowing and staying there as a loyal dog
From kang jae side he is cheated and will be cheated all his life and he accepted it like a idiot, she never tell him that she kissed other guy then she come back to him married him because he is loyal
if they wanted her to end with kang jae then they should have not made her date other guy or they should have had 20 or 24 episode to make it real that she realize she love kang jae only,
her love for kang jae which we never see is not believable but the way she acted toward playboy shows she loves him more
