@isthatacorner what have you done to me?! I was reading your posts about Playful Kiss yesterday and now all of a sudden I’m at Episode 6 😄 I had forgotten so much!
Im pretty sure Ive seen all the versions out there (except the anime. Im pretty sure theres an anime and I keep not watching it).
This is my theory on why I remember it being so bad:
I watched this fairly early in my new drama watching days–like this is in the first 10 dramas I watched. I think I watched on df and the comments there sent me to youtube looking for the short series special (something like 2 or 3 short eps that take place after they get married. Their date may be one of the eps). And the comments led me to iswak and tka and by the time I finished those dramas I was hooked on the drama and started actively looking for the other adaptations. But by this point my faulty memory no longer remembered the actual good drama that I had watched just the story and that it was SO. MUCH. WORST. than PK.
And from there I think I took all the annoying qualities about iswak and exaggerated them for PK and since it had been years since I saw PK my memory didnt know any better.

So much better! My memory had made everyone into extreme caricatures but it’s really not like that.

Same! And theyve combined storylines that I felt were draggy in iswak. Its a good drama!

I have never seen any of the other versions 😱 I might have to go on a watching spree after this, if I can find them

But also, even outside of me PK has a rep of being the worst adaptations and it really really REALLY is not.
