There's actually no romance at all between FL and Eun-Ho in the webtoon. It's pretty clear from the get-go that this ship has sailed, and neither tries to rekindle the flame. They just move on like adults. He does feel a bit regretful about it, but that's about it.
can you spoil the webtoon for me - overall story and ending; controversial parts
As requested, I'm spoiling the whole thing quite broadly, so do be aware if you changed your mind.
There's nothing controversial in it. It has more of a healing vibe to it overall. Ji-Hyuk and Ji-Won are very sweet and he's very respectful of her and her choices, especially her reluctance about marriage, considering what happened in her past life. Ji-Won does manage to make Soo-Min and Min-Hwan marry (because of a pregnancy lie Soo-Min makes up, essentially trapping herself), but their marriage definitely isn't a happy one. (The mother-in-law is an awful witch and it's very, very satisfying to see her be terrible to Soo-Min instead of Ji-Won.)
Soo-Min ends up in prison after attempting to murder Ji-Won (this is the car accident that puts Ji-Hyuk in a coma: he pushes her out of the way), and Min-Hwan dies after sabotaging his own car (he wanted to kill Soo-Min but forgot all about sabotaging the brakes when he heard his mother was dead).
Basically, the webtoon is really good at dishing payback but in a way that's very satisfying and doesn't make Ji-Won into a terrible person: she remains the bright soul she was, and those people who did her so much harm end up destroying themselves. Karma at its finest.
JH's family is awesome, super accepting, and they stand behind the both of them. JH's step-mother even helps JW deal with her opportunistic mother who shows back up in her life when she hears from Soo-Min that she's now dating a rich man.
I haven't read the side stories, but I think JW does end up marrying JH and they have kids.
Well, gotta be honest, this drama isn't exactly a groundbreaking masterpiece. It's loaded with all those classic…
I agree with you. Most of the big reveals have happened already, and the revenge is proceeding nowhere near as fast as it should. The turn everything took at the end of episode 6 means they need to venture into original territory from now on. I loved the webtoon, but this adaptation doesn't work for me at all.
The change of his way of death. In the webtoon The ML died from commiting suicide, which means his death at that…
I don't like that change either: the point of his time travel was that he couldn't live without her so he committed suicide. Turning it into an accident takes away from the whole thing, especially since he had an emotional conversation with her father in the ghost taxi right before walking into the ocean...
i completely agree. + the fact that they changed a lot of plot points from the webtoon and made it way more dramatic…
I agree with you on everything. The webtoon was so pretty all around with a healing vibe to it, but the drama feels cold, the cast doesn't fit the characters, their styling is awful, and I hate how obvious they're being about a huge reveal that comes very late into the webtoon.
Its still early days. Maybe they chose a muted palette to start so when the FL makes her transformation it’ll…
It does feel very cold. The webtoon was pretty all over, and I feel like a story of healing should have much warmer tones. Hopefully they do gradually change the color palette as the story progresses, but I'm not holding my breath.
Because it’s the same premise. It’s not an uncommon plot either. I don’t remember that many in kdrama but…
Oh yes, I gathered. I was talking to OP, sorry it wasn't clear. A lot of people have been comparing the two as if PMR had copyrighted the entire thing, it's getting annoying at this point. You're right, though, I guess it's the new KDrama trend.
It seems like most people watching this drama are novel/webtoon fans. Could yall please stop spoiling it for those…
I read the webtoon, and I got so upset the other day when I saw a Twitter account with over 8k followers had just casually dropped a huge spoiler and got retweeted over 100 times. I loved that reveal in the webtoon and I feel genuinely sorry for all the people who won't get to experience it now because of them.
Because it’s the same premise. It’s not an uncommon plot either. I don’t remember that many in kdrama but…
Take a look at webtoon offerings: this is a very, very common premise. As in, there are gazillions of them. PMR didn't invent the concept, far from it.
