Totally agree! 🙌 The original WEBTOON adds so much more depth and detail compared to the adaptation. If anyone enjoyed the show, they’ll definitely love the OG version too!
The First Night with the Duke
The WEBTOON of this is actually in a western aristocracy theme and its complete. I’ve completed yrs back and it one of the best webtoons! It’s an icon where most early webtoon/manhwa reader all know. I’m just in ep2 rn and I’m loving the historical Korean twist. I’m seeing Riley in the back of my mind in a hanbok. The nostalgia hits hard🥹 I was just a teen then😭😭 It was with me and many fans through out covid. It has 114.1M views which is one of the highest. Can’t really fine a mahwa as good as this much these days. I’ll also drop some titles of manhwa that r really funny later 👋
I absolutely loved the webtoon (it's one of my favs) and was so surprised to hear they adapted it into a kdrama! With how poorly ppl have rated it tho, I'm not sure I'll give it a shot. I probably would have been more inclined had they stuck to the western aristocracy setting (just bc I don't really enjoy standard Korean period dramas), but I don't wanna ruin the image of Ripley and Zeronis I have in my head. Hopefully they'll produce an adaption that's more true to the manhua someday.
