brooksmom Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) This has been posted 26 days ago and I just noticed it. This is one of those dallies. Can tell by the actors. Seo Ha Joon will probably play the poor man she marries and then divorces him. Lee Jae Woo, the guy who ended up with the girl in Sweet dreams. Oops I meant Sweet Enemy will play the ex.

liyahsbutterfly Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It's the guy from Sweet Enemy! And the wicked girl from Sweet Enemy/Fatal Promise too. I wonder how they'll make this a daily. Will revenge be involved? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monalisa Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I loved the 2004 Phoenix. Good that they're making a remake. Am looking forward to this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayame Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Whoa. I remember watching the original in 2004 when I was 14 years old, so seeing the trailer with the old OST from the original is really nostalgic for me. I did really love the original, so I'm curious as how the drama will be in a daily drama format. Looking forward to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooksmom Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 @Ayame, @monalisa, @chococarmela, @Lmangla, @joccu Most of you liked the shorter 2004 version, I have never seen that one. Hope this one doesn't disappoint, but with it being 120 episodes I'm sure I'm going to be losing my 'cool' many times. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joccu Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 @brooksmom the 2004 version was good. i think they stick the mostly to the plot but this is going to daily so where are going to see more "hair pulling" crazy plots, the usual daily scenes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmangla Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 @brooksmom ~ like others here, I absolutely adored the 2004 version. I don't rewatch dramas often but this is one I have watched a few times over the years. every single time I watched, I had pangs in my heart. a few years back, wrote a review of the drama. it has a bit of spoilers as it gives a gist of what happens in the initial few episodes and why I found it magical. https://www.dramabeans.com/2018/02/one-true-pairings-when-love-just-isnt-enough/ @joccu ~ yea I wonder how much of the original they are keeping and how much they will interpret and stretch in different ways. there will probably be some additional characters that weren't there in the original as daily dramas have a large cast. hopefully, it is still good. @Ayame ~ am surprised that they are using the original OST. however, they have changed the phoenix painting from the original. that was a real striking piece. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liyahsbutterfly Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Thank you @Jillia! This drama looks pretty interesting. I hope this is a good revenge drama I can watch... I'm still confused on the plot though. I'll follow this topic to find out more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmangla Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 @joccu ~ it feels like a different drama from the original. guess they took broad parts of the story and have changed it around a bit.... was laughing during the highlight preview when she tore a part of her shirt and the guy's expression was "what the?????" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joccu Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 @Lmangla yeah it looked different. My question is who are they arresting? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmangla Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 @joccu ~ maybe the male lead? it looks like second lead is pursuing the female lead because of some sort of revenge/business even though he doesn't care for her at all... it also looks like the female lead's family does not go broke at all. she is wearing some fancy clothes and a hat while seeing the painting. kekeke... her going broke and the changes it brings was a major part of the old drama... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joccu Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 @Lmangla maybe they do go broke and she´s already married to the second lead. and he has the money. I honestly hope that they don´t change the big stuff. but yeah this is daily so anything is possible. I thought that too but then I thought that what crime? are they going to accuse him from doing some crime that he did not do? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liyahsbutterfly Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hope it's the female lead who gets revenge. And ugh, Park Young Rin in another drama. That woman cannot act! At all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayame Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Looking at the credits, the screenwriter for the remake is the same as it was for the original (Lee Yoo Jin). So I don't think she'll change too much of the main plot points, I guess aside from adding stuff in to make it fit into a daily format. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joccu Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 first episode was interesting. the premise looks the same but there is a stuff that is different. like Jung Min having a twin. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That woman cannot act! At all. she was the super duper cardiologist in Fatal Promise but behaved like an idiot. I don't think she can carry Mi Ran's role. Miran was manipulative, almost psychotic in the old version. The summary gives quite a different story. ML was a technical genius if I remember it correctly. Now he's a cosmetics company big shot. Maybe more glamour? I felt sad when I rewatched it. The FL actress committed suicide. My first Hallyu show Winter Sonata also had an actor committing suicide. I am going to do a wait and see, see how people here like this show. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
