First Impressions: Hallelujah! A remake!

It's okay. It lost all of the telenovela charm from the original, which was the whole charm. All the characters have completely different personalities, and I don't love it. I only like Michael more in this version bc he is less of an asshole. I genuinely don't know who she will end up with. I predict Rafael bc of the whole fated thing, but she has such a good thing with Michael... Rafael is too nice. Like he wasn't mean in the original, but he was a little spoiled and bratty, and I miss it. We will see though. The biggest disappointment is the mom and dad. Lost all of the charm and are not funny. I don't know how I feel about the way they handled abortion, especially considering what is happening right now in the supreme court, but it could have been worse. I have hope for the rest. Especially petra.

Five Stars

[warning: possible spoiler]I think it is necessary to say that this is a story about women and about different generations of women. Also, how strong women can be. It was interesting to see the conversation between Woori and her mother in episode 2, but while it looks like everything will be fine and smooth, there will be more conflicts in the next few episodes. I also thought that the right-of-choice approach to getting an abortion or not was appropriate. Look, even Woori's grandmother, a very Catholic lady, thought that, despite being a sin, abortion was possible choice. Choosing abortion is never easy, whether for a religious woman or not. I believe they put several possible nuances when a woman goes through the conflict of choosing to terminate a pregnancy and that's good, it's a new topic for the very conservative SK society (although abortion has been legal there since last year). Also, Ma Ri, Raphael's wife, is doing really well. The actress has a touch of Regina George in her facial expressions (I saw Mean Girls today and I must be influenced, I don't know hahaha). Anyway, I can't wait for the next episode!
