Original was a feast, this is a mostly tasty snack
Good adaptation, so cool seeing it on the big screen, lots of little Easter eggs from the drama. Overall enjoyed it but the drama is much better. Too much to cram in less than 2 hours and the plot was not as tight because of it. The original drama was intelligent and made you think but didn’t confuse you quite as much as this movie did at certain points. Not sure if it’s better to have seen or not seen the drama first because of this. You might be confused without the context of the drama, but you also might be confused because they meshed old and new things together and sometimes it didn’t blend so well. I don’t know if it’s because they combined some things from the drama and drastically altered other parts, but it left me scratching my head more at the logic of how it all fit together and it lost some of the emotional impact.
Production quality was great and included some of the original beloved OST with a couple new songs.
I think they tried really hard pay homage to the drama with a new twist and give everyone a more happy, clear ending. Worthwhile adaptation but the drama holds my heart!
