I watched the Taiwanese version last year and I liked it a lot and I wanted to know how the Korean version compares. I am a big K-Drama fan and I my fav dramas are the tear jerkers and I want to know if you guys felt like the K-Fated to Love you is worth the watch if you have seen the Taiwanese ones. Thank you!!

Hi @rjsgrl! As a Taiwanese person who absolutely adored the Taiwanese version to bits and pieces and had absolutely NO intentions of ever watching the Korean remake... I can attest that my personal opinion is this: the Korean version is MUCH better in most aspects in comparison to the Taiwanese version. LOL. The Taiwanese version is actually my favorite T-drama to date and when I first heard about the remake, I hated the idea of it. I swore I'd never watch it and when I was forced to watch the first few episodes (courtesy of a friend), I hated it as well because it was so similar. I nitpicked at every aspect that was the exact replica of the Taiwanese version and scoffed at the inability for them to make the story their own. I heavily considered dropping it...

But then, something amazing happened. The Korean remake became a completely different story of its own. The most basic plot points remained the same, but the Korean remake wove their own intense, beautiful, funny, amazing story and I fell for it faster than I ever knew possible. Some changes were excellent, like how the male lead is actually nice, respectable, and actually KNEW what he wanted. Other changes were sorely missed, like the elimination of grandma's love story with the potter, the better background story of the lost siblings reuniting, and the female lead's slow evolution during her time away from her home country. Still, this Korean remake is brilliant in its own right and the acting is top-notch.

If you're looking for tear jerker, I think JNR pulled off the pain of loss better than CQE, even though CQE is one of my favorite Taiwanese actresses, but, in my personal opinion, the situation that caused the loss of the baby to occur was better in the Taiwanese version. It's all preference, really. Like I said, some aspects in the Taiwanese version was better while other aspects were better here in the Korean version.

I will say this though, as much as I loved the Taiwanese version, I never purchased the OST or the DVD set. With this Korean remake, I shelled out the money for both the OST and the director's cut of the DVD. It's worth it!

I couldn't have agreed w/you more on this part.  The only time it makes me feel really sad of the TV was that part.  It was so raw and sad, both of the leads did really well on the loss of the baby.  KV was sad too but it was nowhere near as sad as the TV IMO.   

TV didn't do it as well for me b/c it was too draggy, a lot of nonsensical elements added it too which I am glad KV made it it's own and made it shorter and some over the top comedic elements but it worked OK for me.  I tend to like dramas that are shorter.

I think FTLY's competition is against Mr. Back since it's the most recent drama and initially got a good buzz.  It would be hilarious if JN wins two best couples.

Let's do our part to vote them Best Couple and Most Popular Actor & Actress

http://www.imbc.com/broad/tv/ent/event/2014mbc/couple/index.html

[akinahana89]

Ah... so in the instructions post, it says we can only vote once per ID, but then there's something about making sure to vote everyday. Does that mean each ID can vote once a day instead of only once for the awards?

[Guest chunnogirl33]

Hi Guys: Is anybody having trouble registering on the MBC site? When I enter the authorization password it takes me back to the beginning.

Thank you for that analysis! ! I am so glad it will take the basic elements and use them to create a new story. I look forward to the emotional capabilites of the Korean female lead. Did you ever watch Autumn Concerto? That is my favorite T-drama.

[Guest rjsgrl]

As a fan of both versions, I can't say it better than this.  K-FtLY is worth the watch: over and over.  I've watched the TW-FtLY at least 5 times and K-FtLY is on constant re-watch in some form since it aired.  I hope you fall hard and fast for the OTP because they are jjang!

@Cara: thanks for the voting instructions!

You guys are making me so excited to start the K version. I'm waiting for my sister to watch the T version so we can watch the K one together

Thanks @Cara for the tutorial!

I have voted for the snail couple today (and also for Jang Hyuk-Jang Nara for the most popular actor-actress) :-bd
