A love so beautiful korean drama
They pretty much had zero, if not almost uncomfortable chemistry for most of the drama. And together, frankly it was clear that she was the nuna and he was the dongsaeng which makes it hard to believe in their characters. He looked too young and did not make me believe he was the smart studious type. And then there's the problem with the ML. No idea why they casted her as there are a lot of other actresses who have natural aeygo that could have played this role.

If you ask your parents to give you an impression of a 3 year old, I bet it would be the same as the FL's acting. And the director did a poor job of giving the story some heart instead of the typical cringeworthy deliveries. I loved the C version and was so excited that they were going to remake it in Korea, but I think they really miscast this. While I have to admit that I was disappointed by it, I can see where it will provide some pleasant companionship for viewers who are more romantically inclined.īotched remake Unfortunately, this remake failed to deliver the sweet cute chemistry and heart that the original C version did. The Korean remake of 'A Love So Beautiful' is worth a look if you want something fluffy to fill your time between other, better-scripted and better-directed dramas.

The other actors cast in the major roles fit the toned-down nature of the series very well, and are worthy counterparts to the characters in the Cdrama version. Enjoyment of fictional media - be it books, movies, or drama series - usually involves some degree of identification with the characters, so with such a handsome and cuddly leading male I can understand why in some corners the Kdrama version of 'A Love So Beautiful' would have a lot of appeal. He does a serviceable job in his acting debut and is cute enough to inspire the fantasies of viewers who wish they could have their own Heon in their lives. Kim Yo Han, who plays Heon, is a K-Pop idol. In fact, toward the end when he kisses her on the lips it feels uncomfortably close to watching someone kiss his own sister. As it is, his approach to Sol Yi has a brotherly vibe that it never quite shakes off. If this is the woman that Heon can't live without, I wish the series would make more of an effort to show us why. This impression is made even worse by the way the director has Sol Yi constantly exploding with child-like exuberance, squealing with delight at little provocation. We never really learn who Heon is or why Sol Yi's love has meant so much to him.Īs for Sol Yi, there are two issues: (1) she is perky and over-animated to the point of constantly maxing-out my Cringe-o-Meter, and (2) from the get-go the actress who is cast in the role looks too mature to play a high-schooler. Unfortunately, because Heon's eventual redemption in the Kdrama is less necessary than in the Cdrama, it's also less impactful, and deprives the Kdrama of an essential emotional turning point. Heon is a character who, after all, we're meant to believe can't live without Sol Yi. Nor does he help us to understand the reason for his unwavering dependence to Sol Yi. However, in making Heon so comfortable from the start there is much less of a reason for him to strive to better himself. I know many viewers will prefer this non-threatening kind of male lead, and who am I to say they're wrong. Instead, Heon comes off more like a guy who's just a little too shy and needs to come out of his shell. Unlike the Cdrama's Jiang Chen, Heon is not troubled by abandonment issues that have caused him to develop an almost impervious layer of emotional armor.

The Cdrama scene where this acknowledgement finally happens is one of the most powerful in the entire series, and is all the more moving because we know how far the male lead, Jiang Chen, has had to come in order to get there.īecause the Kdrama's Heon starts off so nice, there is little distance for his character to travel as he faces his own shortcomings - shortcomings which, of course, are minor in comparison. While from the beginning the Kdrama version of 'A Love So Beautiful' has a male lead, Heon, who is quite likeable, his counterpart in the Cdrama starts off as very hard to love, and who must face and acknowledge his own deepest flaws if he has any chance of prevailing in the end. Whether or not you like it might depend on which male lead you prefer - the Kdrama's or the Cdrama's - or whether you can tolerate the Kdrama female lead's lack of maturity as she gets older and enters into adult life.

In this remake we have a series that could easily be rebroadcast on Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel. A pleasant but ultimately unsatisfying adaptation This Kdrama version of a well-known Cdrama is a retelling for tweens that softens the male lead's character while over-infantalizing the female lead.
