A great reworking of the original
This 11-part drama takes scenes of the original Korean "My Sassy Girl (2001)", and then adds many more interesting characters and amazing plot twists. It is very touching and very funny.
The only reason that I can't give a 10/10 for it is that, starting at the 8th episode, the English subtitles are almost incomprehensible. Before that, the subtitles are very clear and helpful, even explaining subtle points of Japanese cultural references. From the 8th episode on, it looks like the English subtitles were translated from the Chinese ones, since the characters' names become the Chinese equivalents of the Japanese names, by someone who didn't know English very well.
Despite this flaw, watching this drama was lots of fun!
