Drama Vs. Manhwa
This was my first ever vertical drama, so I might not be good at this and be a little harsh. I only know about the ones you see as ads when scrolling or on a game. I also would like to point out, I read the manhwa not the novel, so I speak on the manhwa's half.
The big thing I have though, this should have never been a vertical drama. The whole thing came out to be around an hour and nine minutes. Which seems like a long time, but yet didn't seem like a long time to even scratch the surface.
Con(s):
1. A lot of the characters that were necessary (at least I feel) weren't there.
2. There were plot holes. It didn't explain how Taekin kept his phone, why the phone was wiped, why Taekin was involved with the teacher (who, BTW, in the manhwa was the older brother of the class vice president), and Taekin's sudden making of bread.
3. I didn't like the confrontation scene at all. The few punches that Heechan took in Taekin's body was not needed. In the manhwa, at least, he tried to avoid anything that would jeopardize Taekin for when he would eventually come back.
Pro(s):
1. The actors were good. They definitely captured their energy to a certain extent, and I definitely stayed for them.
2. I like how they made Taekin have at least one school friend, and that he didn't leave school. (He was bullied a bit harshly, hence why they thought the accident was on purpose).
3. It could be watched on its own if you never read the novel/manhwa. However, it would probably leave you with questions.
It was probably bound to have the plotholes and feel rushed (at an hour and nine minutes total). It's something, even after criticizing, I didn't hate. I would recommend you to watch it, because all in all, I was shocked we got a live adaptation. The drama does have its on perks in a way.
