Should I watch this? I don’t like light romantic comedies, but I do enjoy romance melodramas with heavier tones, like Deep Affection Eyes or The First Frost.
I can’t really pinpoint which category this drama falls into based on the MDL plot.
A small theory about the ending and why it deviated so much from the webtoon:
I suspect the main reason was budget. Most TVING dramas are only 10–12 episodes long, so they probably received funding for a maximum of 12 episodes.
The drama stayed very faithful to the webtoon until the last episodes, where it suddenly diverged a lot.
My guess is that the production team realized they couldn’t fit the webtoon’s ending, which is quite long and complex (+ a part hapenning in Hong Kong), into such a short episode count left, so they had to find a way to wrap things up more quickly.
That could explain why we ended up with this rushed ending instead of the original, more developed one. But personally, I wish they had kept the original ending and reduced the actress subplot, which was quite long.
Nonetheless it was a phenomenal drama. Clearly the best of the year if not of the last few years.
Tbh i dont mind that ah jin survived at the end she is the villain here and this a dark drama i didnt expect a…
Yes, the last episode was clearly rushed: 55 minutes compared to 1h20 for some of the others. The ‘post-documentary’ phase should have been developed more.

Else they wouldn't have shown her alive next to the destroyed car.

Any suggestions for similar dramas to make the next six days go by faster?
Been a while I havent been this hooked by a drama.
