C-drama to Remake Discovery of Love with Summer’s Romance Starring Janice Wu and Qin Jun Jie
Wow, I feel like this K-drama aired sooooo long ago and I checked the date and it was in 2014 which both seems long ago but also kinda like yesterday if I check my life rolodex. K-drama Discovery of Love with Eric, Jung Yumi, and Sung Joon in the love triangle to end all love triangles is getting a C-drama remake 8 years later. The drama will star young leads Janice Wu (Wu Qian) and Qin Jun Jie, and I don’t know who the second male lead will be. The original was such a good and frustrating drama, complex and nuanced and very adult in the way relationships and breakups are handled. I think a C-drama remake can definitely work and feel fresh with the intervening years since this K-drama aired, and I find the two leads visually well cast so hopefully they can generate sizzling chemistry like the original cast.
I wish drama remakes weren’t a thing. The way I can only name a handful that lived up to or surpassed the original…
Eric and Jung Yumi had so much chemistry! Que Sera Sera and Discovery of Love really worked thank to them!
I really liked the fact she designed wood furniture.
I would totally watch this. I love Janice Wu, and I appreciate that the original wasn’t about some wise-eyed 28 year old virgin FL. She was wily and selfish and kinda a mess. All the leads were charming and all had flaws.
