Cute and funny watch just not didn’t meet my expectations
Cute and funny, a lot of fluff and 0 drama. But I personally couldn’t enjoy it as much because I kept comparing it the Japanese version (Cherry Maho) So even though it’s very different I will say some of the differences I noticed for those who want to know.
1. Characters
So first obviously we have to talk about the big change in personality of the characters, now of course not all had a big change but some of them did.
•Kurosawa-Karan
Karan is overall, a more expressive character mostly since we got to hear his crazy thoughts which clashed with his cool personality but I also feel we didn’t get to know the real Karan not the mind Karan. Also I felt that Karan wasn’t as much of a green flag, as much as people like to think, Karan was jealous but jealous really jealous and since he is more expressive it came across as invasive, Karan also was pretty obsessed with Achi by waiting outside his house and all, then him going to visit that much when Achi was working made the then climax of Achi loosing his powers loose the build up and longing
•Adachi-Achi
Achi generally just really didn’t struggle as much as Adachi did, If he ever really was which made me feel like he could’ve gotten with Karan even without the powers, also since the problems got solved very quickly which thanks to that we got less angst and drama but it also took a big part of the depth of the show.
•Side Couple(s)
The Thai version did a better job developing the side characters and their relationships considering they had more time to give them; like Jinta Min which was alright but at least 10 times better than the JP ver. I personally didn’t like the RockJoi pairing though it was just kinda not interesting and had too much screen time for my taste but considering the long time they had, it was kinda necessary
2. Main relationship progression
Weirdly even though this drama is longer it felt like things were going too quickly, KaranAchis relationship was very fast I didn’t feel like there was enough progression and time, which just made it feel fake, and as much as I like TayNews interactions and interviews (I have seen many) I don’t know if I felt like they were a believable relationship, and it definitely has a lot to do with the story and the pacing I mentioned before
Conclusion:
So even though I personally prefer the JP version I also feel this one is pretty different and overall not bad I would recommend it
