I've seen the Korean, Thai, Japanese and Chinese (this) version of this story and this is hands down the best one to me. The Japanese and Thai ones were ok, I just didn't care a whole lot for the characters. The Korean one wasn't too bad but I didn't care for the male lead.

I almost felt like he was too old for her and I'm not sure why but he was giving me Willy Wonka vibes? It's been awhile since I've watched it so I don't know how to articulate that, but it makes sense to me. lol

Anyways, the Chinese casting is just superb. I absolutely adored the female lead and loved her little glow up. I felt real chemistry between them which I didn't really see in the Korean one. I also loved the casting for everyone else. His grandma was amazing, even the aunt and cousin when they inevitably come around.

Not to mention Dylan and Anna. I really despised Anna despite wanting to have sympathy for her, but that's the whole point, I suppose. This drama made me laugh and cry and just have so many emotions. I've already watched it twice.
