I'd treat it like a spin off. They changed a lot of core elements of the story.

I'd have enjoyed it more if they remained true to the webtoon, but it was a OK drama.

If you can watch it with an open mind or think of it as a fan fiction (new version using existing characters), you may like it. Think of it as its own separate thing with new takes.

Ahh that makes more sense, thank you!

The person changed so much. They changed core parts of the story! And the new version of her past is ridiculous. What kind of bell would save her sister's life? I thought it's be some kind of special, rare medicine that lawfully is only to be used for royalty or something. But then she stole bells. And then the guys went after her for it.

I can't take this adaptation seriously.

Lol... what was this drama writer on?

He returns to her, but do they show happy moments of them together, or is it just like they-see-each-other-so-technically-reunited-that's-it-guys-the-end?

1. I'm on episode 34, and they're still not officially together. They haven't confirmed their feelings with one another. This is a slow burn romance, like s l o w.

2. Since they don't date or become exclusive, breakup isn't applicable. They do however, face a few disputes and good-bye's.

3. N/A
4. N/A

5. Minor. Theere's SML but no SFL. SML is respectful of FL's choice though. As for whether you'll feel SML syndrome or not, depends on you! There aren't many scenes of SML+FL together so that might not be an issue.

6. Annoying characters, yes. Exes, no.

7. I haven't finished but after reading comments on MDL, it appears to border along bittersweet-sad side & doesn't show a (healing) long happy ending scene, just brief. <-- just from what I read from other commenters here who have finished watching.

Sounds like a bittersweet ending, not entirely happy (sweet) yet not entirely sad (bitter).

Kind of like: K-drama, Crash Landing On You

They can see each other, however rarely, and treasure the small pockets of time together.

I haven't finished watching this C-Drama though T-T I'm feeling hesitant about it 'cause it's not a happy-happy ending.

This is very sad :( First confession ML hears from FL is one that is for another guy.........

You're not alone. I'm watching this with family, and they say the same thing. I'm the ONLY one sitting on the couch, tearing up occasionally, because I've read the webtoon & see those characters in live action.

Had I only watched the drama.. I wouldn't feel attached to the characters at all. The story is all over the place, too! They tried to smooosh too much of the story into 12 episodes, and changed core elements of the webtoon in this adaptation. Webtoon was popular for a reason :(( I get adding freshness for the viewers, but this isn't it lol

My eyes could not roll any further back when..

He gifted her a necklace!!

LOL. Why did they have to add this age-old K-Drama trope??

If someone asked me if there was any great adaptation (of webtoon into drama), I'd struggle to come up with an answer. I enjoyed watching the dramas, but they don't seem to do the webtoons justice. There's just too much depth and chapters to cover, to fit into the traditional drama episode count.

Thank you very much :D!

These deviations from the webtoon..! T^T I'm enjoying the changes (it's refreshing) but at the same time, it's so sad....

Found this after watching Episode 1 (and trailers for) the anime counterpart that just released on Netflix! Is this movie out already?

Language, yes, but I don't know how much of it was translated into subtitles xD

She lacks empathy, or extends very low empathy for the guy. Hopefully the dynamic between the two of them improve over time, seeing as they may turn into lovers later lol

I'm so glad to not be alone in feeling this way about her haha >.<

Thought it was funny how her jaw dropped after seeing ER (medical) bills.. which only amounted to $300 something in USD rofl

One visit to the ER in USA would be $2000+ EZ!!!

Yeah

I'm enjoying the k-drama version a lot BECAUSE I've read the webtoon. It gives "life" to the characters, it's fun to see them on-screen. I get reminded of events in the webtoon which makes me tear-up a few times while watching.

However, if I only watched the k-drama... I think I may be disappointed, lost, or confused. They seem to be forcing down a lot of material all at once, editing is all over the place, lots of flashbacks without first a strong character development so new viewers can't first grow attached to the characters beforehand.

It's funny cause there's more outrage HERE than there was for other shows:
- Goblin
- Hotel Del Luna
- My Love From Another Star
- My GF is a Gumiho
There are probably more but can't think of it presently. Anyway, that's a quite a few from K-dramaland alone! Western shows like Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Twilight, Legacies...

(Some) people are okay with one individual living an eternity and finding love, but suddenly have an issue with an individual that reborn 19 times and remembers her past life once she turns 8-9 years old??

It's a fantasy genre, people!
