How's it? My stubborn, I mean. It didn't look very promising from the trailers
I always wait and binge. I'm not a very patient person, so if I don't finish a drama in one sitting, I'm never going to. Also, it saves me the headache of watching bad dramas because it's easy to filter out crappy stuff.
There's some abuse at the start (typical harem politics), but it's a funny soul-swap drama. The ML is a scholarly type who has to pretend to be a military-leader emperor, FL is martial artist from a military family who has pretend to be meek and graceful empress. Then they accidentally swap souls.
And now their bodies match their personalities hehe
Yes, but the thing is most throuples irl start as cheating until the other partner gives in. I personally two…
"People decide to be in polyamorous relationships for many differences reasons" name ONE that isn't sleeping with someone outside of your relationship. It's a triangle that is forced closed, not a relationship. 3P almost always starts with ONE partner bringing in an outsider and the other going along with it, because they don't want to lose the relationship.
There are many reasons for a 3P sure - asexual or low-sex drive but still wanna be in a relationship, so you open it instead of breaking up; can't have bio-kids but spouse doesn't wanna adopt (3rd is basically a legal surrogate); closeted homosexual but can't divorce the spouse; simply fell in love with someone else but can't leave due to family or societal reasons, arranged marriages where love isn't really an issue so you don't mind a 3rd; gotten into a relationship rut and want some extra spice etc etc - but it would never have happened if ATLEAST ONE partner didn't want an outsider in their bedroom, and were physically AND emotionally loyal to their spouse.
"And trust me it saved many couples who really love each other from suffering and breaking up." These are your own words, and that only happens when you are NOT ALLOWED to break-up with your partner, due to reasons. Or when you have emotionally checked out of relationship, but not physically.
It's blink and miss. Bawoo is the classmate who looks like Exo DO in the manga. His arc starts in s3, I think…
I judge both mediums on their own merit, which is why if I really love a novel or a webtoon, I generally avoid their adaptations. If I watch the drama first, I will avoid the book or proceed with caution. There are very few which do justice to all adaptations. MDZS/Untamed is still my top #1, because they adapted the source in ALL forms equally perfectly. I have read the novel, webtoon, manhwa, audio drama, live-action and I love each one more than the other.
But ultimately, as long as the plot is solid, and characters act true to their personalities, I honestly don't care lmao.

I hear ya. I find the k-bls these days are either severely lacking or just not doing justice to the source material. Like they are minting bls just for money, not because they actually respect the IP.
I know you can't easily adapt a webtoon/book directly into drama because of the change in story-telling medium, but the changes made should be organic without destroying the soul of the story or characters. I know it's stupid to expect the studios to care for fans or IP more than $$$ but as an author myself, I find it really sad when the author's intentions don't get across to the audience.
HEESU IN CLASS 2 destroyed me. This will save me from that mess.
In Heesu webtoon? No. Heesu just has a crush on his straight best friend, Chanyoung. Seungwon is his endgame ml. Chanyoung has a steady offscreen girlfriend throughout the webtoon. Jiyu is just a friend and nothing more. No straight romance in the webtoon at all.
The drama makes a lot of changes which basically changed the whole meaning and point of the story.
can someone please explain to me how this is sourced from “Who Can Define Popularity”. is there like a subplot…
It's blink and miss. Bawoo is the classmate who looks like Exo DO in the manga. His arc starts in s3, I think c45 onwards, and didn't really last very long, before we went to Daon's shady-ass cousin's story. I remember being really disappointed because they seemed interesting. It's like the author had no idea what do to with them, so they just moved back to the main couple.
I just realised this is about the DO-couple in the manga. I didn't know they were getting a drama since they don't really have much going on in the webtoon. But I am more upset that didn't get someone who looks like Exo DO because the manga Bawoo is based on him.
i havent read the webtoon but im assuming ur right bcus the series blueming was also based on the webtoon. Blueming…
It is based on the 2nd couple. They didn't really have story in the webtoon, they are only memorable because the mangaka based Bawoo on Exo DO (Doh Kyungsoo). I am glad someone is expanding their story, but upset that they didn't cast a DO lookalike for it lmao.
I am being negative, I have dropped it after 4 episodes. Still came here to check if it's getting better but comment…
I haven't seen the drama but I read the spoiler that Heesu starts moving towards SW after Chanyoung and Jiyu get together, which is exactly what the author DIDN"T want.
Heesu chooses SW in comic BECAUSE he is Seungwon, not because he was somebody available after Heesu got rejected by his crush. Chanyoung is very much a playboy having multiple girlfriends, and Heesu is fine with it, because he never expects to come of it. In fact, most of the time Heesu is his wingman, which where the rumour of his love advice comes from - because he has fixed Chanyoung and his other friends with girlfriends.
Which is why Seungwon is so important for him. Because Heesu was the "listener"/therapist for his friend-group, but Seungwon is HIS listener. He can talk things with Seungwon that he can't even with his closest friends. He does get jealous and upset about Jiyu, but that's because he thinks she is having a thing with Seungwon, not Chanyoung.

Heesu has 3 sisters with a large gap (the oldest is 33 in the webtoon) and both parents. Seungwon has lesbian moms, and an estranged dad (who isn't in the picture). The main reason Heesu starts confiding in SW in the manga is BECAUSE he has lesbian moms, which is Heesu's first interaction with an adult same-sex couple. He was fine having a closeted crush on his best friend until he saw that "people like him" can be out and in open relationships with other people of same sex, like Seungwon's moms, and that Seungwon doesn't think homosexuals are weird or disgusting because he has lesbian moms.
This plays a huge part in his journey towards self-acceptance and in his love story with Seungwon.
