Thanks so much for your review! It made me track down the novel...and now I think I'm dropping the drama. It hurts to watch what they did to the story and I still have more than 1/2 of the series to go (SO many eps...). You're so right, why did the writers remove everything that made the story fresh and complex and the characters interesting, then add in a hodgepodge of the usual cdrama tropes? I was also at a very over-the-top part of the drama, which didn't help things. Maybe I'll pick it back up after a break, but probably not. Sad for what could have been.
