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.

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.
