forcomment

What I mean by my comment is by law, to get punished and get a payback. Morally unacceptable things in real life don't get much repercussion and something you can't quantify because it's society exiled/cancelled until the society forget and don't think it happen.
What they did to ji won in the last life involve murder and I am referring to this payback that wouldn't happen if the revenge happen now.

I don't understand this hitler comparison either, in 2013, somin hasn't talked her lover into murdering anyone.
We know she will be bad but we also need to see the timeline, both of this soo min act the same but has different circumstances. I am saying that 2013 soo min can't be charged with the 2023 soo min murder conspiracy yet.
I find it troubling that you first comparison is hitler and also how you view something that hasn't happened as judgment for the present.
We live in the present, just like ji won in 2013 and 2023 is 10 years ahead. Soo Min will not get the same payback as what she did in the past 2023 but she will get a different one that suited what she did in the new 2013-2023 timeline

it was on the show, they were going to the police in the 1-2 episode and the police didn't take her word seriously, I was referring to how this will not play out if ji won just took her revenge now.

I agree, this story isn't just about revenge but also ji won's growth.
I have some qualms with other story where the payback happen without a legitimate reason when someone turn back time.
The revenge needs a causation and for that to happen, the bad guy need to do their bad things first and our girl is directing them to the choice.
It's ultimately their downfall if they choose the bad choice again since what our girl do didn't exactly manipulate them to choose it, she just put them in the "mat", they fall down by their own action.

they have chemistry together, aren't we all rooting for them?
they make great couple together

How can you prove that, cause she did spread rumour about ji won but also she didn't bully her directly, she passed the word and doing the provocation but also the one who asking the girls to stop. She is manipulative and this social clues cannot be on trial because soo min technically didn't want anything bad happen to ji won nor doing anything bad to ji won. Even the letter, how will you prove that or even bring it up now since it's gonna be another high school quarrel over boys in the eyes of the adult.

The 3 girls is the one who do the physical bullying and take up the torch from soo min's story. Soo min knows how these bully works and how the class want to protect soo min and used that to her advantages but at the same time, if you asked if she also tried to stop them, yes she did, the same way she instigated them, by talking. How can you get that as criminal things? You can't. It's socially unacceptable, morally bad but not criminally charged.

They went to the police already for minhwan but the police didn't take it that seriously, she needs more to actually charge him or get a restraining order.

yeah, she also needs soo min to take her fate,
I want to add in my comment that even without that fate, she also needs more evidence and bad things they did isn't something that can get the retribution ji won's wanted right now. Ji won needs to wait so they did the bad deeds and get punished and at the same time, giving her fate to soo min.
Even in episode 6, we can see how minhwan see ji won as marriage potential and how he actually can dial up his behavior to get married to her. It's 2 way street where minhwan and soo min is doing their best to stick to ji won.

yes, the drama add more context and also new scenes to show how he had been missing his chances earlier.
I love the new added scene from the drama.

You don't even need to read much because realistically, the cheating hasn't happened and all the gaslighting, abuse and manipulation going behind the scenes.
You can't punish people who hasn't done their bad deeds, you have to wait until they snapped, which is what ji won is doing.
Even without the fate things, she can't just suddenly saying bad things about her "best friend" and "boyfriend" since it will be seen as "lie" by other people because again, the cheating hasn't happened.
I also don't know how you can punish soo min unless you slowly cut her from your life, her manipulation isn't really physical, she isolate ji won but no one is around enough to be ji won's witness. The high school friend confrontation can happen because they were friend for 3 years but now, they are adult and there are so much gray area to even talk about it.
Ji won plan herself very well.

I like this changes, in the webtoon it feels like he has no other purpose beside to be the supporting character and the backstory didn't justify the narrative that he couldn't live without her.
He never even visited her in the hospital which can be explained but his action and the idea that it because he loves her leave a question in my head while reading it.
They didn't even interacted much and it implied that he just keep her in his mind all the time, it's too unrealistic.

The car accident and ep 5 backstory help the plot move in an understandable direction, especially for drama adaptation. Different medium give different feeling, that's why live adaptation mostly don't work unless they adapt it for the new medium way of story telling.

I think it explained by how they already have distribution runway as this is another new product launch. In the beginning they were already talking about this new product but they haven't got a good proposal that the RnD team also approved. Also the relationship period helps contextualized how ji won wiling to wait for her revenge and how ji hyuk keep his word to her to be strictly professional.

the things about the revenge is that they haven't done anything wrong,
the way to deal with them right now is cutting off contact but they work together and if ji won act harshly, people will criticise her instead so she can only build up until it's right to strike.

Ep 6 gives some revenge and also the way ji won wants to give her revenge.

I read the webtoon several times and they changes many things but man, the feels stay the same.
They already changes the timeline from 2009 to 2013 but I didn't expect that it will be aligned to real event like scandal and other things. I am very impressed and this drama really stand as its own.
It's great if you haven't read the webtoon and I appreciate it so much as webtoon reader too.

The revenge happen slowly but it's like real karma. I feel like people/audience have to realised that Su Min and Min Hwan haven't done anything wrong , in the general scheme of things, in the recent time what they did can be lover's quarrel, best friend disagreement and many other small demeanor where soo min and minhwan can get away from the punishment, therefore they haven't get many karma or karma equivalent to what ji won wants them to get for the past life. Su Min gaslighting also hard to detect if you didn't know how long it happen and also it's not something that can get punished like criminal things imo, most people don't care about other people very personal relationship like old friendship and I think the drama took all the right approach.

yes, this drama is strangely realistic, especially the friend part.
It's very understandable that Ji Won doesn't know and other people aren't aware of the lies.
Also Su Min knows what she is doing yet she think Ji Won deserve it and in her opinion, she has the right to do that to Ji Won. She gets super jealous on the new friend Ji Won's made.
The confrontation in the restaurant is what we wish to happen when we are faced with the same situation because lies couldn't hold up with the truth and there are people who don't want the truth, they just want to look "right"

I also read PMR, feels like they skipped many parts in explaining the whole intricacy and the web of problem the main lead suffered.
I wonder if there will be adaptation A Chance at Last Webtoon,
the drama works in the same trope and genre as MMH and PMR.

yeah they do it very well.
What I like the most is they manage to retain the feelings and the dialogue.
They changes and add something but the important point is still there. I hope this stays good till the end.

This is the genre, this happens in like many webtoon in a very similar manner.
I will not count just this as a similarities with other drama cause this is a trope like tag of cold male lead - bubbly female lead .
The actual plot/transformation of the actual character is really different. Their enemies is also different and imo the message is also different.
In Mmh, it's about how ji won open her eyes that there are a lot of people who cares about her even back then, she just couldn't see it and she took step to changes herself. The point is her wanting to change and doing it because it's not bad to changes yourself, you can't stay in the same place and expecting something different.
In pmr, it's conspiracy family feud with mystery and more into the unravelling the unfairness and mystery.

Ep 3 is so satisfying, even the changes they did from the webtoon. It's like they add scenes you want to see and fill in the gaps in the webtoon. I remember the bathroom conversation and how easily the friend accepted the explanation but the drama up to that to a 10 and I love it.
I like the eunho a more in the webtoon but I think the changes for his character works more for the supposed love triangle.
I also think Na In Woo looks great, in a way, he is a supporting side since the story is about Ji Won's new life and transformation.
Also Hye Won is just a great friend.
Idk if eunho actor should speak in dialect more cause he isn't that good in that.

This kind of person is hard to notice the fist time but when you are aware, it's shocking.
You have no idea how they talk behind your back just because that shade of lipstick look better on you than them.

I feel it through my vein, also I read the webtoon and I really like how they adapted it.
Also the friend does look childish but in my personal experience, I've seen someone behave like this. This drama is so satisfying.

there is honestly not many difference, it rather minor like their reaction to certain things, the origin of her scar in her hands, the sequence of the sanitary pads panel and how the manager isn't really bald.
The drama does add more context like how soo min visit ji won in the beginning of episode 1 but the overall plot is very similar.
