(note: the uploader has also posted a youtube link in comments if you wanna use that)

they didn't help in making this film, all we know is that one of the authors (maybe both but the translation uses the pronoun 'I') visited the set, and that too was only done once. they mostly just put their trust in the director that he would actually deliver.

this is a licensed adaptation, so as far as i'm aware even the license was purchased from the parent company that published the webnovel and not the author themselves, so think of this as whatever you want.

you can read the answer to question no. 07 here:

mc is a literal cockroach though

not a good film

well, nothing of that sort even comes up (none of them've even spent the night as far as i remember) and i've only read the first season of the manhwa, last i checked it was up to its third season. the novel is finished tho, so if you find anyone who've read that to completion, that person will be able to give you a better answer.

i don't understand a single thing you're talking about? maybe it's just the way your sentenced is structured, would be nice if you can clarify and go into more detail as to what you're talking about.

this being on here and not actual aeni lmao

more like 8 different pages of got

it's been some time since i read it but as far as i remember, her depiction here is pretty close to the original. i wasn't annoyed with her tho, probably because i already knew what i was jumping into.

one of the admins has confirmed that the review bombing by novel fans (or more so the new accounts) doesn't impact the overall rating on mdl, it's the rating by long time users that is reflected in the overall rating of the film.

here is the link to the admin stating this very thing in one of the support forums: https://kisskh.at/discussions/support/143636-133-fake-reviews-in-4-days?pid=3357862&page=1#p3357862

i've been watching south korean adaptations for some time and i think i've kind of made my peace with them knowing that they never adapt a source material faithfully and always adding their own twist, in most cases i actually liked that part about south korean adaptations. orv was honestly a perfect story for me, so i didn't want them to add their own twist, but since i already knew they were gonna do it, i adapted to it very quickly, that's the sole reason that i once defended the inclusion of sword scene which honestly is the least of the problems this film has but i'm just saying it as an example.

but even with adding their own twist and making it sort of an entity on its own, there must be a line where they need to stop. and i've realized that the line for me is the core of the story and character personalities. i think japanese adaptations are much better in that sense that they actually stay true to the original core of the story and character personalities.

this film is honestly a disgrace to orv and if there was a slight chance that this film was good on its own, i would've to some extent actually liked it considering it would've atleast been some sort of promotion for the original. but the kind of film this is, an average person might like it but there's only a 20% chance they'll be intrigued by the concept of it and that they'll be interested in reading the novel or manhwa which desire they might forget about too if they don't act on it fast enough. it's not a film that leaves an everlasting impression on the mind of an average viewer (well, it does impact the mind of an orv fan albeit very traumatically)

i think the director was reading death note when deciding on what to make yokoya wear, looks exactly like near and the wig looks so bad yet so funny, it makes me laugh every time. also why the heck did they make the final episode a whole ass recap for most part of it.

nao is basically naruto with her "i want to believe" statements. i honestly always forget how much of a blockhead nao is in the beginning parts of liar game. anyways, the contraband arc was honestly so well done in this drama, like in some aspects they even surpassed the manga ver.

also just thought i should share this here, an anime adaptation by madhouse just got confirmed for liar game. this one was totally unexpected and out of the box, but i'm definitely excited for this release. anyways, here is the link for the announcement trailer for the anime:

been some time since i visited this page but the moment i comeback, there seem to be a new breed of people doing the same thing again *BRILLIANT*

i think they meant checking out some other dramas/films and using this site as a regular user.

among all of this mess of pointless accusations that are being thrown at the fandom in this comment section of not letting people enjoy this seemingly perfect film, quite nice to see a much more observant opinion on this subject.

they can provide statements for as long as they desire, until and unless they actually have the ability to defend that statement or provide a reasonable argument to someone's objection on it, it shouldn't hold any significance whatsoever.

p.s. talking about the people who bring the original into their statement without actually having any knowledge whatsoever into it, this doesn't include the people who like this film as is and don't actually go ahead and make assumptions.

let's assume that you're right and based on is supposed to mean not an identical copy. how does that exactly give them the right to make a cheap-ass knock off? i was looking at the wikipedia page for this film and i found something very interesting: "In 2023, director Kim Byung-woo was confirmed to lead the project, and the screenplay began development under the supervision of Realies Pictures, known for large-scale genre films. The adaptation aimed to preserve the original's layered structure while making the story accessible to a broader international audience." just to give you basic info since you've got no idea for the original, the preservation of the original's layered structure was nowhere to be seen in this "based on cheap-ass knock film"

when the whole sword inclusion scene arose from the initial teaser they released, do you remember what the director said at that time due to all the backlash because i actually do since i was the only orv fan who was defending him at that time. he said something along the lines of when you're adapting something from one medium to another, there are bound to be made some creative changes necessary for the storytelling within that medium. fast forward to the release of the film and creative changes that he said were necessary for him to tell the story in a live action format meant changing almost everything and leaving nothing from the original intact.

the headache part is so true lmao, that's all i got from it.

as per the original, she was never supposed to have one, so you can make your own theories about it ig.
