A Business Proposal

If you have read the webtoon version and watched the Korean drama series, you will notice significant differences in the film adaptation. The acting quality of the cast feels forced, and it seems like they haven't fully embraced their characters, making it hard to connect with the story.

The humor in the film often feels forced, leading to discomfort while watching. Many scenes are either confusing or missing, which disrupts the flow of the story. However, this didn't bother me much since I had already watched the TV drama version beforehand.

The age gap between the main male and female leads is poorly matched. In the original series, they were portrayed as mature individuals ready for marriage. However, in this film, the male lead comes off as an unstable teenager, lacking the successful and charismatic demeanor that the story requires.

My suggestion: if you've already watched the TV drama, skip this film as it will likely disappoint you.

I was very disappointed with the poor casting. Plus they were too lazy to research the original characters, so the acting was bad. And they are so arrogant that they don't want to accept criticism, they just become even more arrogant. For readers and viewers of the Korean version, this is very disappointing. Moreover, Abidzar's acting is very far from the character of a CEO, at least he would wear a tie and neat clothes. But I quite enjoyed Ariel's acting, As usual she is a very professional woman. Always listens to good criticism and suggestions. Hopefully Ariel Tatum will not meet someone like Abidzar again. These 2 stars are to appreciate Ariel Tatum and the production team. Keep your spirits up.

Challenges as an Actor in a Remake: As an actor, Abidzar certainly faces a big challenge in playing a role that is already well known in its original version. While the desire to make the character more unique is understandable, in a remake, there is a risk that such efforts could be seen as disrespectful to the original work or make the audience confused due to significant changes in the character.

Critique of Overly Free Interpretation: Finally, there could be criticism that this statement indicates a misalignment with the true needs of the adaptation. Characters in a remake should be close enough to the original version so that the audience feels they are seeing the story they love, but with new elements that make it relevant. If Abidzar focuses too much on creating a completely new character, it could make a character that should be easily recognizable feel alien or inconsistent with the essence of the story.

I think maybe because this is a remake, of course there are differences in terms of culture and delivery of material in the drama and the movie, coupled with language differences that result in context translation that is quite difficult to adapt to the culture. But looking at some of the ACTORS who played the main characters, I think it has some pretty glaring shortcomings, especially in the aspects of story execution and chemistry between players. Compared to the original version, which has a dynamic storyline and humor typical of Korean dramas, this remake tends to feel less natural in delivering dialogue and comedy, sometimes even seeming forced. In addition, the development of the main characters, especially the CEO, also lacks a strong charismatic aura in my opinion, so his romantic interactions with the female lead feel less convincing. But perhaps cultural adaptation is also a challenge, as some Korean elements don't translate well into the Indonesian context, making some scenes less relevant or losing their emotional appeal. Even so, I am proud of the 100+ production crew who have done a great job editing and producing this movie. The cinematography is quite good, but some aspects of the acting and storytelling could have been deepened to be more natural and appealing to local audiences. Learn better fo all actors, don't forget to keep learning.

Important thing in entertain world, It's important to maintain your own image and also the character you're playing, take an example from your senior actors and partners who are very professional in getting to know the character with watching the original drama for they're going to play, "I'm going to create my own character" is very inappropriate to do, especially if you're playing a character from a REMAKE FILM! I emphasize FILM REMAKE! And also the biggest mistake is to badmouth your audience! I hope all the producer and Director, please pay attention and review the actors you choose to play in your film. The quality of the actor is the key to the success of a film.
