Is it just me but I was expecting that scene in Go Ahead where the female lead was talking about her period while the rest of the men and boys were eating to be in this drama?

OMG, the reaction was so priceless.....

But at the same time, since it was a remake, they don't have to put all SCENES from Go Ahead there. 

What I find missing in this version are these normal life scenes.

It's filled with school drama, and less with realism. I'm fine if they don't put everything, it's normal.

I wanted more reply 1988 vibes tbh. I also think that they should have inspired to Hyeri's character there, since it's exacly how the FL should have been (according to original).

Also the ending was kinda cringe X'D What was that overracting meeting with the father.

I'm fine with changes, I liked some (I like that finally someone has some interest in my fav pastry guy), for example.

Yes! The bra scene when they were eating and the bed scene that they turned into shampoo. 

A bit disappointing 

Yes, I really wish they did that but at the same time I can understand them not wanting to do this scene ? 

One of the central charms of "Go Ahead" was the comical edge of a girl coming of age in a household that's made up of two fathers and two "brothers" not related to her (excepting for he own biological father.) Maybe only Seven could have pulled off being rough/course and brazen enough to mention, in a dead pan way, her period, at a table where 4 males (and only males) are also sitting. Or for her to say innocently (and shamelessly), while she's in the empty bed of one of her "brothers", "Your bed smells amazing." It's one of things that made this show so remarkable--the audience is in the know, but Seven's character is all innocent roughness.

If the Kdrama version lacks this edge, I hope it makes up for it in other ways, or else it's just another Kdrama that pulls out all the teeth of the original it's remaking.

I felt the same, it was one of the things I loved about the original, especially that scene where she jumps into her "brother" 's bed and is like "I'm not leaving" and then just goes "gege your bed smells amazing" there was something so comical and comforting and funny about jianjian that I really hope this fl can incorporate in her character in the forthcoming episodes at least 

They are squishing a 46-episode drama into 16 episodes. It's unfortunate but this will be happening throughout the series. This is just what happens if you have already seen the original. You'll always find yourself comparing.

i completely agree with you, but there is nothing we can do. We just have to decide whether we will keep watching it or don't watch it again especially if you have see the original

More than anything I hope for fair rating but I’m thinking it won’t happens because it only takes a hot actor to raise the rating, this had 7.9 with one episode out. That’s why I hope one day this sites let’s you only rate after the drama is done. At this point it’s at 8.5 mean while the original 8.9. I see more people finding this slow or they say they miss so many things from the original because overall that’s what made Go Ahead what it is. So I don’t get the rating being this high. 

Sorry but for me one of the scenes that made me cry was the scene when the mom leaves and the boy is running behind her begging to not leave him. They made that scenes so plain on this remake like I said the original broke my heart. I don’t want to say is the kids fault because that’s mean maybe the director for not asking for more? I felt like 5 out of 10 on this scene, anyone else felt that? i

i love that scene! she was so excited she was getting her period.

another scene, was when she insisted on checking if they have their 'lucky undies'  before they go to their entrance exam and made them show her. no boundaries at all. lol.

I feel that is not only those daily life scenes. Also with the changes in the characters, scenes were scrapped completely that I feel are key in the story.

One of those scenes is when Little Orange is in the hospital and LingXiao's mom asks that he shows a bit of love for her bio sister, and he tells her that he won't give to others what belongs to JianJian unlike her. He clearly express that he belongs to JianJian because his mother threw him away, drawing the line between them (Mom, Little orange) and his family. 

And while Sohui is a really nice kid and I like her character more than Little Orange, I feel it doesn't make sense to make her so likeable. Because Sanha shows almost instant love for his sister for the only reason that she is his sister thus going against the idea of family by choice.

On the contrary, one scene I feel is so out of place in this version is the one where we see Sanha remembering his mom taking care of him when he was sick. It shows his love for his mother which I feel it's kind of odd that his mother is so much more cruel in this version but he loves her more than in the original. He doesn't assume the care for his mother out of filial piety, but out of love.
