I’m glad you’re saying this! I feel the same way. Honestly, the scenes in the novel where she sleeps with him for the first time felt really wrong to me, and he became a huge red flag. Overall, compared to the drama, ML feels much more possessive in the novel, and I didn’t really feel the love there? FL annoyed me even more because she just let all of this happen. In my opinion, it’s completely okay to say NO when it comes to your own body, even if you feel guilty about certain things. And it’s also okay not to accept everything someone wants from you.

Well, this plot was also in the novel. It was stupid even there. Like, is there really no other way to show that he’s afraid of heights because of his mother’s death?
Not only was he a playboy, but he was also pretty rough with her. Throughout the novel, I mostly saw him as possessive, which made it hard for me to buy into the idea that he actually loved her (like I know he did, but it was just based on possessivnes). It got even worse after they reunited years later. The way he treated her was awful.
One thing I like about the drama is that he's much softer. The female lead is better too. In the novel, she was very passive and a major people-pleaser. In the drama, she knows what she's doing and feels much more independent and true to herself.
