Is it so hard to do it right?
There are so many K-Drama Adaptations of different manhwa's. I was so looking forward to watching this drama, I was upset when they extended the date for the release, and happy when I heard about this drama.
But when I watched this adaptation, I realized, they aren't faithful to the original story AT ALL!
It was so irritating to watch them remove all those little details which made the story interesting. They just made it typical and cliche. The character's personalities changed a lot, which ruined the story quality imo. the grandfather acting like your typical stuck-up rich parent who gives cash for the FL to break up with the ML, and Taemu acting super narcassictic and cocky with his trauma backstory. You might say, "thats the way they show character growth". They just copy and pasted WWWSK and just changed the name, they didn't keep the characters original and unique. So many characters were changed for comical relief, which is really upsetting.
I watched 6 episodes while they were releasing, then I dropped it. Then I lied to myselfa year later that the drama doesn't associate with the manhwa at all, and that made me enjoy the series. I really liked those cute moments between the leads, and despite them changing 97% of the story which I HATED , I give this series a high score of 9.0.
If you told me to write a review for this series last year (2022) I would write:
"Before the adaptation was released, I read the Manhwa in 2020 when the chapters were only released. The manhwa was infinity times better than the drama. The casting was super off, and they changed everything. I never finished watching the drama, because I was too irritated to continue watching something that was made incorrectly and they just made a basic boring cringe annoying story that has scenes from every business romcom drama."
BUT!! This time I say that this is a good drama, because they made everything enjoyable for viewers, everything is so aesthetic and cute, and the main leads are beautiful and played their role perfectly, with perfect chemistry. ( Although main leads aren't too accurate to the manhwa) IF you decide to watch this, and you read the og manhwa before this, then prepare to watch something with the same name but different storyline. I totally reccomend this drama if you didn't read the original story and want to watch something light hearted.
