I haven't watched it yet but what I've picked up is that people are upset that they didn't stick to the original…
Yesz but the thing most people forget about adaptations of literary works is that the writer can exercise their literary freedom.
Second, and I personally think the most important, what matters in an adaptation is the essence of it, not if the events, characters, etc. were faithful.
Take for example Shadowhunters. People who claimed they are fans of the novels were disappointed because of the many changes they did. When, if they were a true fan, they would've recognised that the adaptation stayed true with the essence of the novels.
Those angry "fans" even accused it of being woke when the novels itself weri already like that before "woke" entered people's vocabulary. They just want to complain because they want the adaptation to be 100% the same.
And that's a TV series. So, even if Omniscient was adapted as a TV series, people will still complain endlessly.
Here's another example: Little Women. The Little Women Korean adaptation (last year or two?) was vastly different from the original novel. People complained, and most that did not even read the novel, LOL.
Oh, it was a TV series adaptation too.
"Fans", if they really are true "fans", will always find something to complain about when it comes to live-action adaptations of literary works. However, you rarely see such attitude if it was an animation adaptation. Even in the Japanese industry, adaptation of a manga, serial, or visual novel, into an anime rarely gets complaints regardless if the anime adaptation was too far from the original.
People just complain a lot whenever it is a live-action adaptation. People complain even with a simple thing as casting an actor who doesn't look like the character. It isn't the looks that is important when casting for a certain character, what truly matters is if the actor can truly act the character's character in question.
Do fans want someone casted because they look very similar to the character but cannot even act that character properly? Or, do they want someone who can act the character even if they don't look like the character?
Which brings us back to what I said earlier: the essence is the most important part when adapting a literary work into another medium, most especially in a medium with a lot of constraints like live-action. And this is what most people are missing. They are only looking at the surface, the shallow stuff. It makes you wonder if they truly understood the original source material or not.
And going back to Omniscient specifically, the webtoon itself is an adaptation. The originau source material of the film was the novel. Yet you'll see "fans" complain about how the castings were wrong because they didn't look like the characters themselves. Obviously hinding they were thinking of the webtoon and not the novel.
Which can be observed in works which were adapted between different cultures. A manga was adapted as a webtoon. A Western comics adapted as a webtoon and as a manga. Peopli complained because the characters look different and some events were different. FCOL, it's an adaptation! That's what an adaptation is! To adapt!
Self-confessed "fans" just like to complain. Many don't really understand the essence of the works they're consuming. They often only see the shallow things. The faces. The names. Will even act like they know how the original author feels and thinks about the adaptation (when the original authors usually were involved or at least was consulted).
1. I'm so glad to see the two reunited since Uncontrollably Fond. 2. I'm glad Suzy no longer is too thin (I mean it well, don't misinterpret). 😆 The one she has on this series is perfect for her. 3. Wow. Ahn EunJin! 4. Go KyuPil is finally anything but a pig animal. 😅
I haven't watched it yet but what I've picked up is that people are upset that they didn't stick to the original…
I've read the webtoon and I still highy approve of the film adaptation.
People just like to complain about every single live-action adaptation ever made. Majority of them don't understand it is not easy to make a screen adaptation of a literary work.
LOL. Just ignore them. It's not like their own homegrown productions aren't guilty of what they're accusing you…
Oh, and did they really watched the entire series? Because if there is someone who should complain here, it is the current President of the United States of America.
The message—if we can call it that—of the show was the USA is the instigator of wars because it benefits them. The USA will bomb anyone anywhere because they feel like doing so, even if they lack actionable intel (hint: 2003 US invasion of Iraq).
It is actually surprising the current US President still hasn't noticed «Tempest» and say anything about it. Or, maybe he did and people around him constantly stopped him.
Seriously, if those who are complaining about how this TV series depicted this and that country actually watched «Tempest» they know the USA had the worst depiction.
Let's not forget, when Hollywood paints other countries in a negative light, no one complains about it, or at least they don't make efforts to be noticed. But if it was done by an Asian, people complain (Asians against Asians at that) and they make sure they are noticed.
Clearly double-standards. More likely political or backed by those with political interests.
LOL. Just ignore them. It's not like their own homegrown productions aren't guilty of what they're accusing you about.
It is fiction. In fiction, it is called alternate history. The way things unfolded in your fiction world unfolded that way because its history is different from the real world. Alternate history is an ancient genre in fiction.
Take for example the work entitled, «Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter». Scholars cringed when the book was released, and again when the film adaptation premiered. People will always find reasons to complain about (though it's questionable how much of their being is really into it, or to put it another, if they really are 100% into it and not simply fired up by someone's eloquent piece on why they should complain).
Fiction is fiction. Period. Even my own people complained about Dan Brown's description of Manila in «Inferno» being “The Gates of Hell” and I stood against that complaint. It's fiction.
It is when fiction is presented as fact that we should complain. Because then it is wrong and obviously an attempt to whitewash. One such example was the animated film «Elcano & Magellan». It was presented as a historical adaptation, not as fiction. It was no longer about artistic freedom. Yes, it was "history through their own lens" but they never presented it that way, they presented it as fact. Now that's clearly trying to push a colonialist narrative.
«Tempest» clearly stated it is fiction. It was never presented as fact. In other words, it is within the realms of alternate history fiction. That qualifies you to use your artistic freedom to tell the story of this world that was shaped differently because its past unfolded differently from the real world. Anyone complaining about it simply don't understand what fiction is or lacks the capacity to properly analyse works of art.
For a Disney production with plenty of veteran North American actors, they really placed the USA in a very bad light. 😆😆😆😆
"The US always bomb people in other nations if they want, wny can't I?"
Basically, it's all about how the US is the instigator of war and hardship anywhere in the world. There really are serious accusations North American companies backed by people in power in the USA are indeed the suppliers of weapons. The writers really used that big time.and made it real.
It's surprising the curreet US President hasn't blocked the show yet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think that Shin's Project is unfortunately the type of kdrama that is loved by Koreans but overlooked by international…
Don't worry, it's very popular here in the Philippines, the largest foreign market for Korean entertainment according to Korean news reports. MDL is not popular in the Philippines, and most Filipinos rarely care about leaving ratings in various sites. 😆
Wow. They are prepping up and transitioning IRe to a mature look. It appears that they're getting ready to give her romantic roles and make her the next Queen of Romance.
It's called a marriage of convenience and it is actually common in many countries. 🤪 It just is not talked about by couples because it violates the spirit of marriage and the Constitution. If the State finds solid proof, they might get into a State vs Couple situation and that will definitely become very ugly.
I don't understand one thing "yeong ran" will be in contract marriage with whom ? this old man...Bkl tu…
You can get legally married but it's only on paper. You're imagining they'll sleep together that's why you can't accept it.
There are many such marriages IRL, it is called "marriage of convenience". They don't sleep together, they even have different rooms. They just want to take advantage of certain benefits that can only be afforded if you're legally married.
It is not illegal (there is no law against it) in many countries but it is not legal (no law specifically allowing it) either. If the law discovers proof it was only for convenience, the State can make reasons to annull the marriage and file a case against both parties. The couple can't even sign a contract because it is automatically invalid (in most countries, a marriage is completed after they slept together, since they did not, there's a loophole) and will only serve as evidence against them. It only works if both have deep trust.
In this story, it's a marriage of convenience. However, it's a dangerous one for the FL because they can accuse her that she tricked the chairman and killed him unless she has proof proving otherwise.
Besides, it is clear that the chairman is only after making sure his wealth doesn't go to his demonic step children.

Two months later, it's finally out!The Hooniverse wiki (훈니버스 위키) is your one-stop guide to everything…
Be sure to check it out because there are a lot of misconceptions about The Tyrant. For example, some fan theories claim it is a prequel or happened in parallel with The Witch. I searched for deeply hidden clues to prove The Tyrant happened years after The Witch Part 2. 😉
Facts! I didn't really connect with this one at all. I didn't even realise they're supposed to be in the same…
It is an independent series as per Director-Writer Park HoonJung.
Actually, nothing in The Tyrant can be tied to The Witch film series directly and as far as the story is concerned. There are some clues that they are set in the Hooniverse but you'll only see it if you're actually searching for it. Either way, it's independent.

I can't wait for her future projects in the romance genre. The teaser they gave us was very promising for her.
