Guys, is there a novel version ?i want to Read it .plz share the link ,if you guys know 🤞
Yes, there is a novel version called Chairman Kang: The New Employee. The story is a little different, though. In both the novel and the manhwa, Joon Hyun isn't a football player he's actually an employee at the company, and he never had an accident either. I'm mentioning this because if you decide to read the novel or the manhwa, you might get confused at first and think you've found the wrong story since the adaptation changed some major details. But don't worry, it's still the same story those changes were likely added to the adaptation to give it more depth and drama.
The novel and webtoon have so many layers and events that it would honestly be really hard to bring all of that to life in a movie. So it makes sense that they changed a lot of things and honestly I’m not even mad about it. I kind of see it as a movie inspired by the original story rather than a direct remake or adaptation. And honestly I think it’s good. And i would love to see more of it like turn it into a series like they did with sweet home and other manhwa/webtoon adaptations
totally agree with you. i think a weekly episodic case investigation kinda format along with a main villain who…
Totally agree — like you said, the whole ex-athletes-turned-cops concept had so much potential and could’ve been used way better. Honestly, they did a great job with it at times, but the constant stretching and all the unnecessary drama really dragged it down.
Totally agree. The early reveal really ruined the tension, though I get that they were probably aiming for a 'villain…
Totally agree. The ML’s medical issue honestly felt unnecessary and completely misplaced. (And I say this as someone who lives for angst — I usually don’t mind it.) But like you said, if he’s not going to die by the end (which I really hope he doesn’t), then what’s the point of adding it?
It also feels like they’re trying to cram everything into this one drama — ML and FL with a past, two MLs fighting over the FL, an overpowered male lead, a badass female lead, and now a mysterious illness on top of it all. It’s starting to feel more overwhelming than enjoyable.
Good Boy - Short Review after 8 episodes!Honestly, this doesn't need 16 episodes, it could be done in 10 or 12.…
Totally agree. The early reveal really ruined the tension, though I get that they were probably aiming for a 'villain team vs. cop team' dynamic. Still, the pacing is way too slow. This could’ve been a solid 8 to 10-episode drama instead of dragging it out to 16.
