I’m not 100% sure but someone below in the comment said that the same person who wrote the novel wrote the script…
The writer was one of the screenwriters. I don't know exactly what's the deal. But i think because even if she did the original work, she had also given rights to the company that adapted it. She no longer has the full authority. It could be part of the contract. It depends.
Ugh... Really... This should have been "Inspired by the novel", not "Adapted from the novel". Most things are opposite. But anyway, this is still a good watch, y'all. Nowadays you won't easily find an ML who is not a love slave for the FL. No. This drama's ML knew his priorities despite being in love. He really embodies his responsibilities as the emperor, even being overruled by his own officials. And though FL was infuriating at times for being impulsive, she's still a force. And i can't deny how determined she was. She knew what she wanted and stood by it. Many people are disappointed with the ending, and i admit i'm one of them (because i have read the novel and can't get over how contrasting it was from the source. But if i didn't read it, the ending would be okay enough for me.) Then, there are people who were satisfied with the ending.
I just like to say, please, give this drama a chance and let yourself be the judge regarding everything. Thank you.
I think it was 100 percent an HE for main leads though so will say left open to interpretation. Here is why. Ying…
Yes. They are emperor and empress in the novel. Husband and wife ruling the empire. And their daughter is the heir to the throne since she's the firstborn child.
OH WEM GEEEE!!! This is really gonna happen??? I had read the webtoon and it's so awesome. Can't wait for this! Just not sure of the cast... I like the ML but... Hmm... For Iseop's role... I'm having some doubt... Not for the acting, but I think it's more of his vibe, of the appeal... But i'll just see until the drama comes out.
Ended like the novel? We all wished! 😅It's hopeless.
It's actually more like an open ending going to a happy ending. Could be considered open, but in conclusion, a happy ending still. For drama viewers only. I don't know how to compare it with Overdo. I didn't watch it.
How much it differ from novel? Just curious, it's only about the ending or start from beginning? I only watch…
I think like, the First Jasmine. The characters have the same names but lost the novel's essence, even the character dynamics. Start to ending is different. There are still the same plots from the novel of course, but it kind of all got thrown in into the pot and mixed together with everything. Though the first half of the drama wasn't really messy.. But as someone who had read the novel, it just doesn't sit right. So yeah... I don't even want to think it's an adaptation. More like just inspired by the novel at least. Really a wasted potential to be one of the great dramas out there...
Sadly common. Like The First Jasmine is nothing remotely close to the novel.
It really made me think that if I had already read the novel, then I wouldn't watch its drama. 😅 At least then, i won't feel betrayed. But then, i'm still giving the future adaptations the benefit of a doubt.

Exactly... Why bother adapting it if they won't follow the essence of the story, and character dynamics... Of why, in the first place the novel was a hit for the readers that it was chosen to be adapted... And of course, readers would most likely watch it too for they liked the novel. But then, they decided to go off tracks. They should have just said, "inspired by the novel", not "adapted from the novel". I would have felt much better. 😩
Seriously, if only I hadn't read its novel, this drama could have been good on its own despite the ending. But then... Ugh... Just can't totally accept it. One of my fave novels butchered this way. The ending was a total opposite. They should have at least made it right. But nah... ROYAL BETRAYAL to the maxxxxxxxx.
But anyway, this is still a good watch, y'all.

But if just from the drama alone... It's so so... Okay, like, fine, whatever. 😁
