This story felt disjointed from the beginning and now I know why. After reading parts of the novel spoilers, I realized this manhwa was a complete bastardization of the novel, only the characters names remain the same. Sure a few scenes remain in this adaptation, but even those don't follow the novel.
I never expect manhwa adaptations to religiously follow the original novels, but I do expect them to tell the same story. But I feel like this adaptation is telling a completely different story than it's origin story. It's a shame as Kalix and Heesoo's relationship in the novel was more emotionally complex, which would have been a more interesting read than what we got here. 2-stars.
Sample of Changes: -- Heesoo spent several years working in the mine. -- Their language is similar to French, but not Earth's French. -- Minjoo taught Heesoo the language. -- No green-haired paladin rapist -- Heeso is 8 years older than Kalix. -- Heesoo runs away from Kalix for 3yrs. -- Heesoo gives birth to 2 boys. -- Marriage between Heesoo and Kalix -- They end up in a different world not Galia or Earth (MTL so I'm unsure of the accuracy on this last one.)
