The Episode Review
The episode was full of development for all our characters, with Woori and her mother having a heart to heart about how they have been feeling towards one another. It was nice to see Woori and her mother having a conversation about how they are feeling towards one another.
After just two episodes, we could see just how long they have been torn but this unexpected pregnancy seems to have brought them closer to each other.
Sung-Il is a new character on Jane the Virgin and he definitely has big shoes to fill as Rogelio De La Vega from Jane the Virgin was such a charismatic and fun character. He is definitely one of my favourite characters on the show.
The episode ended with a cliffhanger as No Man-Chul is found dead. Did Mi-Ra kill him or did her mother do it? This will probably be one of the more intriguing parts of the show, alongside the chairman’s wrongdoings.
The narrator is missing in the British version of “Jane the Virgin.” This change may have been made to fit the show’s British audience, who are used to different accents and dialects in television shows. ..
Woori The Virgin is still a fun watch, but it will only be successful if it can rival the success of the original.
