One Day is a popular romantic film based on the novel of the same name by David Nicholls. After graduating from university, the charming Dexter meets the innocent and dreamy Emma. They quickly become attracted to each other and spend the night together at Emma's apartment.

But instead of a typical one-night stand, these two extraordinary individuals created a memorable "one-day" romance that repeated itself for many years, until they decided to move in together.

In 2011, the film premiered on the big screen starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. It was well-received by audiences thanks to its emotionally rich narrative and the superb performances of the lead actors, and is frequently listed among the most tear-jerking romantic films, even after multiple viewings.

In 2024, this deep yet tumultuous love story was once again brought to the small screen, portrayed by young actors Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall.

The TV adaptation of One Day is currently among the top 10 most-watched shows on Netflix Vietnam. So, what are the similarities and differences between the TV version of One Day and the original hit series?

The TV adaptation of 'One Day' is similar to the experience of reading the novel.

With 14 episodes, the television version of One Day has more time to delve into Emma and Dexter's love story, spanning over 20 years, from their college days to eventually becoming a married couple.

Due to time constraints, the 2011 film One Day could only select the most striking details throughout the couple's long on-and-off relationship. The 2024 film One Day, however, depicts in more detail their lives after their fateful meeting at their college graduation.

While Dexter maintained his flirtatious nature, attracting numerous admirers and leading a complicated personal life, Emma chose a slower pace of life, remaining relatively low-profile in both her love life and career.

The 2024 version of One Day gives us the feeling of reading the original novel, with all the emotions taking shape: sweetness, passion, and even sadness and regret.

Just like the film version, the television adaptation of One Day doesn't focus on philosophical issues, but rather slowly tells a simple story, recreating the most memorable moments in the lives of two people, yet allowing many generations to feel the beauty and sadness of gain and loss in life.

Natural and fresh acting.

One Day is one of the most iconic films of Anne Hathaway's career.

With her bright appearance and gentle, sincere acting style, the actress captured the hearts of viewers when she portrayed a simple girl who always gave her all for love.

And Jim Sturgess, with his handsome looks, easily makes an impression in every frame he appears in.

In the 2024 version, Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall bring a fresher, more dynamic feel to their roles, but in terms of chemistry and chemistry, the two young actors still can hardly compare to the classic 2011 film version.

Ambika Mod has an unusually beautiful appearance, creating a captivating presence during Emma's early years after leaving university.

But in her adult stage, she gives off a naive vibe and hasn't changed much from her initial appearance.

Meanwhile, Leo Woodall made a much stronger impression. In terms of appearance, he possesses a tall physique and a handsome face, fitting the image of a popular hot boy, often involved in dating rumors with girls.

In terms of acting, he brings consistency by balancing humorous, lighthearted scenes with scenes of deep inner pain.

When faced with the greatest tragedy of his life, he also showed restraint in expressing his pain, yet still conveyed a lingering sense of inner conflict.

Overall, both versions of One Day succeed in delivering a story that resonates with everyone, reminding people to bravely pursue their love so they have no regrets.
