I dont read novels cz they make me sleepy.. I need pictures.. But so far.. I think all characters here have depths.. Well written/portrayed character.. I cried n laugh through reading this.. Like me laughing when yoojin get caught in recent t chps during their sitcom then bawling reading yoojin's wish for normal life.. Tho my fav is myujin.. My love for other characters are not lacking as they are all well liked and lovable.. Really like how yoojin in "ruling" these top classes.. My husband.. Hahaha
I wholeheartedly disagree with everything the person below me, named ‘feh’, said:3
- “but now they're constantly messing with the plot. like it's not just hyunjae/yoojin interactions anymore”
If you wish the writers adapted almost/every single character interaction, they’d have to work 10 or, most likely, more years just to adapt 870+ main story and extra chapters. And that’s with almost no break as well because iirc, they’ve only taken it 5 times at max so far for the past 2 years. Do you understand how much hard work it is? To plan the dialogue, the panels, new character designs, action and slice-of-life scenes and also make it all look engaging and awesome for both OG fans and newcomers? For every single chapter that is released weekly? Do you honestly want the adaptation team to work so much for the next 15 years?
“Nooooo, they didn’t show Hyunje saying ‘The one who falls for the other first is the one who loses’! This is shit adaptation!!” - I honestly saw people say stuff like this and I imagine there’re worse examples online.
- “They skipped the part after the mermaid dungeon where hyunjae gives yoojin a watch, which he refuses when yoohyun says that he wanted to give him one instead. … trust me when i say, it is very important.”
Some readers complained Myungwoo was cut out from the manhwa, only for his arc to immediately follow Yerim’s. Others dropped the adaptation because Blackie’s last memories and Yoojin’s regrets were skipped in chapter 38 - but they showed up in the ch. 40. You follow what I’m saying here?
- “yet they're adding all that extra "comedy" panels, which may seem funny but are honestly doing way too much. it's not translating the impeccable humor, that is literally one of the best things about the novel.”
I’m sorry you ended up as the 2% of the audience who didn’t find the adaptation’s humor funny. Sounds like a you problem :c
- “a lot of it is because they really ruined yoojin's character in the manhwa- his humor in the novel is a lot more "polite sarcasm", it is honestly so great. he has so much depth and gravity in the novel, so much more capable and complex. novel yoojin my beloved. manhwa yoojin Who tf are you.”
If you missed all the “polite sarcasm” Yoojin scenes in the manhwa - that’s just skill issue. You must have read his deep and emotional parts with eyes closed as well, idk)
- “this is really a mediocre adaptation if you have read the novel. they should change the script writer and storyboardist. I love the character designs though (except yoojin's ngl i don't like it. but yoohyun's design here <333 hyunjae's is ok, kinda mid. yerim and hyuna i love <3)”
Life goes on.
Guys, read the novel and the manhwa adaptation, they’re both peak and are a nice addition to each other Support the official sources too if you can! ^^
