For me, I would change two things:1) I wouldn't make the FL dimwitted in the life 2.Young and naive sure, but…
I kind of liked her laziness where she was just floating through lives, but I dont think it’ll show well on screen. A more proactive female lead will be cool. Some of the stuff she did in each lifetime they could use in the drama got glossed over in the book. Like her adventurer as a general In the fourth life. The one thing Im not looking forward to is I don’t think based off the previews we’ll get any of their childhoods. The mental disability in the 2nd lifetime was played a little odd. It might read disrespectful if they don’t handle it well. Your suggestion would fix it.
For novel readers: Is there something in the book that you would definitely change for the drama adaptation?
I like that it looks like they will have more mortal lifetimes where they don’t remember their immortal forms. The FL remembers in all but her 2nd lifetime. The ML remembers in all but his 1st and last. It’ll be interesting to see how they play it without the immortal perspectives in more of the lifetimes. Hopefully it doesnt effect the comedy since half of the humor is tied into that immortal perspective and their commitment to their grudge against each other. Im also curious about the 5th + lifetimes since those look totally brand new compared to the book. I liked them in the book. It’ll just be interesting to see what they do with them.
Novel spoilers ahead, obviously: Yes, the novel has a happy ending. Parts are tragic, as the leads go through…
True. But again, if they stay true to the tone of the novel it cant be anything but happy. Its a comedy before anything else. An open ending would be to thoughtful or contemplative for how randomly hilarious their adventures are and a bad ending would work against the overarching storyline of slowly falling in love with each other as immortals across multiple lifetimes. However, if they do change the tone it would be very easy for this to have an open-ended or bad ending. Most of their mortal lifetimes are minor tragedies. So Im hoping they stuck to the spirit of the original story.
Can anyone help me by giving me an idea of what the female lead is like? Is she competent? Or the typical…
She’s crazy. In the best most hilarious way. She doesn’t take crap from anyone. She also gives as good as she gets. Clever and cunning. She’s also kind (begrudgingly) and loyal. She isnt particularly powerful since she was accidentally brought to life from a cloud when her master was drunk. She gets stronger through the story. She doesnt have a lot that is hers and is very stingy because of it. Which is the start of her animosity with the male lead. He broke her precious. Im hoping they keep these aspects of her character. She is the most shameless (in a good way) Ive all the characters Ive read about from this author.
Look Im not even asking or hoping much from novel remakes Im so used of disappointment BUT did they really take…
…well I guess despite it being very meaningful to the characters and a constant symbol of the rift between their families, it isn’t actually required for the events of the first lifetime to occur the way they did. So, they might still do the first lifetime justice…
Novel spoilers ahead, obviously: Yes, the novel has a happy ending. Parts are tragic, as the leads go through…
LOL, it was not like TTEOTM at all. She raised his mortal form while searching the world for the missing pieces that would make him whole. So they were never separated. Except he wasnt his complete self (souls etc were all broke up) and even once he had all of himself back he still needed to cultivate his power again in order to return to world. Given the rules about what can and cant be on television and the way LBFD changed the world, I expect them to change a-lot-up to and including the ending. So long as they maintain the tone of the novel it cant have anything but a HE.
I was slightly disappointed by the ending. Sure, they got married and were much in love.But the FL's dream was…
The point of the drama was not sacrificing your own happiness in order to please others. And they’ve done enough for me to buy that they will continue to love and support each other long term. Do I see how it’ll work realistically? Lots of ways. They buy a home near her business with a helicopter pad. Or she slowly creates a chain of small b&b’s in different places that he visits her at. She could hire staff and only work at the one b&b as its convenient for her evolving schedule. Kind of like other rich madams who own a shop. There are lots of ways they could choose to handle it and his level of wealth and access to convenient transportation removes some of the largest barriers less wealthy couple face in similar circumstances.
Could have made the last 2 episodes great, but they made the sister a women of no action. Entire season she was…
I kind of liked that her story was less about being the antagonist she kept fronting as and more about figuring out what made her happy. That felt in keeping with the themes the show ended up exploring. And its fairly open ended in that the siblings will continue to compete for the company. But with dad’s loss of trust, Won continually embracing her as family and now her son loving her unconditionally (until he hits puberty), she’ll probably improve as a person. It was a clever if not executed perfectly way to handle an antagonist who is also a family member. But you are correct that is was weakly handled.
I just remembered this!Between ep 16 to 20 something where SooJung and her hubby went to see the shaman and OYD…
Kind of feels like uncle will choose to donate to them to get money for his ex-gfs kid. All three of them should soon know that while she lied terribly to try to scam them she wasn’t lying about having a very sick son. Which was her motivation for the evil scam.
The description certainly sounds interesting but I'm in the minority where I didn't care for Love Between Fairy…
Honestly they changed a lot in love between fairy and devil. I enjoyed the drama but the book was better. The book this is based on is much more clear in motivations for both the characters (they have a bad fight and pit each other through their punishment lifetimes until they find a bigger threat and true love) so it probably will be easier to get into than love between devil and fairy. And so many lifetimes should keep it constantly evolving.
I don't want to spoil too much but she's the first love of the second lead character. The FL reminds him of her,…
Its a huge spoiler to say how she appears and when. Plus they’ve probably changed things. I’ll say her tragedy is a symptom of the main antagonist from the book. And finding out what happened to her is one of the big mysteries. Whether in the tv show that means we’ll get flashbacks or scenes with her actively interacting in present lifetimes remains to be seen.
Forgot to mock SY ending up in a coma in the hospital from getting wet in the rain and missing a couple meals…
Their are guards at the gate not letting anyone Uncle Mo doesnt want in, in. There are guards at the door not letting anyone Uncle Mo doesnt want in the house inside the house. And SY was not telling his family where he was. He was investigating alone. Why? Lots of reasons make sense given his character set-up: he didnt want WB to be hurt by any reveals he hadnt fully vetted, he didnt want WB to hate him as his mom’s son if something really bad was revealed, he didnt want to worry his new mom or sister, he didnt ever rely on his dad for stuff like this because hes more the parent in aspects of their relationship, etc. I agree he should have tried sitting near the bushes, but even I wouldnt have thought to do that immediately. I would have stood where he did awaiting the interview for atleast a couple hours before I figured out it was a siege. The second day he couldnt afford to go anywhere his clothes would get dirty again. Finally the hospital made perfect sense. He was severely dehydrated, has an already established history of being prone to illness, and he was presenting symptoms of heat stroke. The most unbelievable and unrealistic part of this section of the story is he managed to walk as much and as far as he did before needing emergency care. “Its a drama” is not an excuse for bad storytelling. And viewing the world through the limitations of your personal experiences in a world of 8+ billion humans is not an excuse for lazy thinking or insulting behavior.
Episode 20:Like that WB's dad is being allowed a redemption arc. Though it was weird how he was so nice about…
I think that was their badly executed way of showing us the audience what happened. The characters figured it out by taking the evidence of the bad company and the fact she went through the intersection twice (thats all they saw) to break the lies of the guy in jail for the supposed accidental hit and run. Turns out he was hired and they were able to get him to confess.
In the fourth life. The one thing Im not looking forward to is I don’t think based off the previews we’ll get any of their childhoods. The mental disability in the 2nd lifetime was played a little odd. It might read disrespectful if they don’t handle it well. Your suggestion would fix it.
