I wonder how they gonna address the wish giving taxi driver in the drama, if at all.

Watch it with fresh eyes, don't try comparing.

I'm actually excited to see the differences, because it be something new, not just copying the manga. So far they've been doing them well in the drama.

FL, for example, wishes the evil bish to get cancer in her stead in plain text. I mean, yea, she's an irredeemable evil bish, but I wouldn't wish cancer even on the trash of humanity. Just wish her dead, at least it sounds better on paper, I dunno, just my opinion.
Anyway, Min Hwan's bish of a mother gets a stroke after learning her only son is sterile.
The evil bish brings her the son's sterility analysis results to troll her and neglects her when she gets a stroke. Then she follows that up by killing her while she's in the hospital, so that she won't recover and tell everybody about neglect. Runs away from the police, hits ML with a car while trying to run over FL, gets sentenced to life time in prison.
Min Hwan gets wind of evil bish's deeds behind his back and takes out 500 million won insurance on her (just like he did with FL) to kill her in a car accident. But he gets news his mother has died and rushes to the hospital on the same brakeless car he sabotaged just yesterday. Dies like total lame idiot in a car crash followed by drowning.
They f*cking deserved each other. 🤣

And that's not to mention some of the more fantastical lying from the evil bish, which FL brilliantly rebuked with ML's help. The manga seems just the right amount of short for the drama format.

Some of the things in the manga got pretty dark at the end.

From suicide. Which just makes him look mentally unstable, considering his non-existent relationship with FL in the past life.
I prefer the drama version, way less problematic.

But at least it's more believable that he still doesn't have a gf. I'm sick of those silly dramas where a good looking/rich/straight middle aged man is still a virgin when he meets FL. And they make him act awkward in front of her, but in other situations he's confident and assertive. Just out of some fantasy world.

In the manga he was your typical perfect guy, no awkwardness, no nuanced personality.

Just gotta make sure you won't turn into a slime there or somesuch.

Some characters are originally from Busan.

Not his first role as a nice lawyer. Still remember him in Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

If you see a white truck in East Asia, you run for your life or prepare to reincarnate. That's what kdramas, manga and anime have been teaching us for years 😂

I'm thinking we're missing the taxi driver scene with ML, or something similar. Otherwise where did he get the money with a heart?

I dunno why they've decided to change this in the drama, but in the manga ML didn't go looking for FL's first crush. He just came to the reunion by himself.
But I guess with how they've staged ML's event leading to him returning to the past that was one of the last things he had heard at FL's funeral. My guess is in the drama he returned to the past a bit earlier than FL, but still not so early as to think it through thoroughly. That search for FL's first love looked like a spontaneous thing, he just wanted to do something to make her feel better and to get her away from her future husband by finding her a better guy. Perhaps he didn't realize at the time he can compete for her heart himself. But after he realized that, he got jelly and now we have love triangle.

In the manga he actually was very calculating and 5 steps ahead of FL at planning how to help her. It just wasn't looking as stalker-ish as in the drama, more like a competent guy appearing at the right time at the right place.

For the most part I like the drama's turn of events, especially how they've dealt with ML's event leading to him returning to the past. The manga's one was...problematic.

Though I'm still missing an apology from the reunion bishes, I hope it will come later.
And some scenes are absent altogether, some about Yoo characters, some about cute moments between the leads.

Can we please stop comparing this to Perfect Marriage Revenge? Yes, it has the same premise, we get it. Yes, it came just before this drama, just like mangas these two dramas are based on. No, nobody's copycating, it's just a popular trope. If you like this trope just watch it with fresh eyes.

You've such a dumb narrow view on this there's no point arguing.

I dunno why they keep typecasting him into over the top bad guys. He's just a good looking guy, he can play other roles. I recall them trying something with him in Money Heist.

At least her being wishy washy is more consistent. A person can't realistically change a timid, introvert personality into an outgoing, extrovert one overnight. And if this is about her still playing along with the villains it's because it's part of her plan to get them together. The evil bish needs to get jealous and to want to take her bf from her.
And in the manga whenever an opportunity arose to manipulate the events to get closer to her revenge, or help others in need, whom she never had the courage in her past life, she used that opportunity. It all just takes time and patience.
But if you like makjang like in PMR then this drama is not for you.

I disagree, this drama is very insensitive to the suicide topic. Tomorrow handled it much better.

I dunno about playing good psychos, but he sure can play psychos that are looking like they're always high. It's something about his eyes I think, noticed this since Flower of Evil.
