Disappointing Straight Washing series
As someone who read the novel I felt this show was really underwhelming.
I know that they had to dilute the story so it could appease Korean public, but it made Heesu look pretty much like a support character in his own series.
So let's dive into it without spoilers.
The series has a promising start with the I fell in love with X by mistake or unintentionally, it is a common trope and it if explored correctly it would be amazing.
The case is, it wasn't, they switched the order of some reveals including confessing to X, they didn't leave the ending ambiguous as if X was in fact in love with Heesu from the beginning and they had a unnecessary couple that took too much screentime.
They also changed several plot points which hurt the actual script and made little to no sense. In the end they are left with a stark bland adaptation that could have been one of the best series in a while, but got lost in interpretation.
