Already watched Elite before watching this and the only thing I found interesting in this adaptation is the setting in a different country and the faithfulness to its source , thats it. Other than that, they just copy pasted the sex scenes, the drug dealings, the social issues and the rich kids's pride in their money. In the original, the three students had this charm in them which allowed them to solidify themselves as characters that can easily become favorites and attached to, however in this adaptation, I found it pretty difficult to connect to them. None of the characters' performance in this adaptation can be compared to the original as they were just trying so hard to copy the original characters. If only each character had a different aura or characteristic in them which rendered them different from the original characters then maybe this show would've been fit for comparison to the original. Other than that, this show would be good for those who haven't watched the original, so if you haven't then I recommend watching this first , then the original just so you can enjoy both of them.
