Spirit fingers is a coming of age story in its core that unwraps through relationships. I have to say that as someone who read the webtoon years ago I was really impressed with the cast, they all looked as if they stepped out of the webtoon and came to life. Especially the actor who portrays the character of Nam Gi Jeong, he really embodied his role and breathed life into him. The chemistry between the leads was great and the drama did a good job overall at tackling complicated issues.

However it is important to highlight that insecurities and the search of one's self are major themes in the story, just like human relationships. While the drama did a good job at capturing those themes, there is so much you can do when you try to squeeze in a story of over 100 chapters into a series of 12 episodes. It is a given that due to that there will be changes to adapt the story accordingly and change the order of the events and subplots, which can also change the journey of the characters and make a different image of them come across. In comparison to the webtoon, the characters might come off as more messy and a bit harder to understand, the webtoon explores them in more depth, but I would not say the drama does it on a surface level either, but you can't help but feel there is something missing.

To sum up, I would say this is a fun ,easy and comforting drama to watch but in order to get the full picture and feel more connected to the characters it is worth it to check out the webtoon as well.
