THE POCKET WATCH AND PUNISHER

TANGINA MO TALAGA SHINOA

If Yu and Shinoa actually ended up together in any shape or form, I’m gonna go berserk.

I hate when I have to see how MC is kissing other guy than the love interest. And he even liked it. It's a no for me.

I was looking at the raws and looks like the artist changes at chapter 24 and it’s ROUGH. What a shame

The author twitter is jibung015

THIS over that crappy adaptation cuz ain't no way they making this masterpiece and change the plot

The 6 year gap didn't bother me at first since Asha is 24 and Kiel is 30... Then I really thought about it and realized Kiel fell in love with Asha when he was only 4 years old and Kiel was 10, and when Asha was 14 Kiel was 20 and so on...

But as I keep reading... I don't feel it bothers me as much as it should??? Like of course it's strange, but somehow I'm not as repulsed with it as I was with other works with similar age gaps. Not sure why this story feels different for me, but for now it's pretty enjoyable lmao the uke is so stupid I love him

I am almost sure that I watched a drama with this name

I don’t trust the old mugo I feel like he’s a manipulator and jerk mugo is actually the nice one

Kinda fucked but I wonder if he had a kid could they use it as a sacrifice??

BOOM SHAKALAKA YES GAHD! YES GAHD! YES GAAAAHDDDD! (Big tiddied men getting dicked down by other big tiddied men... FUCK.)

I think i'm in love with this but i might be boy-ovulating.

I REALLY LOVEE THIS! ESPECIALLY THE SEME(I DONT CARE IF HE'S CRAZY) like bro didn't sleep around and DIDN'T used his unrequited love TO SLEEP AROUND!!he waited patiently (to get that tablet) FOR YEARS!! he isn't like those SEME WHO SLEEPS AROUND DESPITE THEM ALREADY LIKING THE UKE AND GONNA HATE WHEN UKE GET TOUCHED BY OTHER BEINGS LIKE AS IF U DIDN'T USED UR DIRTY DICK ON SOME HOLES

!ORV LIVE ADAPTATION RANT!!

This is my honest rant, yet, before we begin, let me make this clear, if you're sensitive to cursing, if you're easily offended by strong opinions, I highly suggest for you to scroll. Scroll now. Kindly scroll, dear. Because I'm about to go off.

First off, let's talk about how they disrespected Kim Dokja's birthday by releasing this crap on that exact day. Of all the days in the year, you chose that one? This was supposed to be a day for the fans to celebrate, to honor the character who carried this goddamn story on his broken back, and yet you had the audacity to use it to shove this abomination down our throats? Unbelievable.

And let's not even start with the casting, because holy hell, the casting is a joke. The phrase "Disappointed yet expected." We had our expectations low—like, 17 feet underground low—but even then, they managed to dig deeper. The height difference? A disgrace. Kim Dokja is supposed to be shorter than Yoo Joonghyuk, and yet here we are with a cast where they're nearly the same height or, God forbid, Kim Dokja looks taller. Like, did y'all even read the damn novel? And don't get me started on the faces. Look, I get that live-action adaptations can't always be perfect, but this? This is just straight-up insulting.

Of course, some K-drama, K-Pop and actor stans had to jump in, shipping minors with adults, twisting relationships beyond recognition, and defending it all with the excuse of "they're just actors." That's disgusting. The way people are excusing this is beyond infuriating. Then, some are saying it's only popular because their idol was cast in it. Wow—witwiww—

Then we had the title. The Prophet. The. Prophet. Are you serious? Who the hell came up with that? Because it sure as hell wasn't anyone who actually read Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. Kim Dokja isn't a prophet. He pretended to be one for like, two chapters, max. The real Prophet? Anna Croft. But no, they had to slap that misleading title on the movie like they knew what they were doing. Spoiler: they didn't.

And at first, we were alarmed, but we thought, "Maybe they're changing a few things. Maybe it'll be fine." And then the director had the nerve to say, "We're trying our best." Oh? Your best? This is your best? This is the best you could do? Try again, bitch.

Then, just when we thought it couldn't get worse, they drop a trailer where Lee Jihye is holding a gun. A sniper. Oh, you're trying to modernize it? The story is ALREADY set in modern times, and they use historical weapons because that's how the power system works. The entire foundation of the story revolves around legends, myths, and historical narratives shaping reality. That's why characters wield swords, spears, and bows. That's why a common gun wouldn't do shit. That's why it makes no sense for Lee Jihye to be holding a gun like some knockoff action heroine.

And let's talk about Yoo Joonghyuk. How. The. Hell. Are you gonna take everything this man went through—all his regressions, all his suffering, all his training to master the sword and then slap a gun in his hands like all that hard work meant nothing? Goddamn. Yoo Joonghyuk hates guns. Yet here we are, Americanizing the hell out of this masterpiece and acting like fans won't notice.

Oh, but we noticed. And we're pissed.

And of course, we have people saying, "You guys are overreacting. It's just a trailer." No. A trailer is supposed to hype you up, to make you excited, not make you want to flip your desk in frustration. A trailer is supposed to show what's great about the adaptation, not make you question if the directors even skimmed the source material.

Now, let's talk about the biggest lie of them all—"We're following the original webtoon." Bullshit. If you were following the original, you wouldn't have pulled half the crap y'all just did.

Some fans of the other side are telling us to "just don't watch it, it's not for you, go stick on reading." Oh, so now this isn't for the fans? Then why the hell is it still titled Omniscient Reader? Why are the character names the same? Why is it riding off the hype of the original? You don't get to use the name, the world, the characters, and then tell us, the fans who kept this story alive for years, that it's not for us. The fucking audacity you fucking have you mother fucker.

Was it just to hype their own show? To use us to gain its popularity? Well, God damn, fine. Y'all got us.

We had faith. We wanted to believe. Some adaptations, like "Weak Hero Class," "Strangers From Hell," and the latest one "Study Group" proved that live-action can be done well. But this? This isn't it. We're open to changes, but not changes that tear apart the core of what made the story great.

And don't even get me started on the fact that we haven't even seen the Dokkaebi yet, who are crucial to the entire damn story. That alone tells me all I need to know about this mess.

Then we have the director/producer trying to justify the decisions, saying, "Usually, we'll use guns and swords." Oh, now you're deciding to talk? After people have called out your nonsense? And now you're saying you're following the webtoon?

No. You're not.

And let's clear something up right now, just because the author "agreed" to this adaptation doesn't mean they actually liked it. People keep acting like the author fully supported this, when in reality, they sold the rights to Naver long ago. Naver is the one pushing all of this, not the author. If you actually followed SS's notes or interviews, you'd know that they never thought a live-action would do the story justice. They were skeptical. And now we know why.

They should know, that this web novel has one of the largest fanbases in South Korea. Since 2020, Omniscient Reader has remained one of the most popular web novels. It's known for its deep lore and storytelling.

While the memes are funny, it still makes me wonder, why the hell is Lee Jihye holding a gun? Where did she even get that?

A concerned Korean citizen even commented that the producers are trying to turn this into a generic action movie, rather than staying true to its apocalyptic themes. Gosh.

At this point, all we can do is brace for impact. Because if this is what they showed us in the trailer, then the final product is gonna be an even bigger disaster.

And what, we're supposed to sit still? Just watch as they completely butcher everything? No way in hell. They should've just done it right from the beginning so we could keep our mouths shut. But no, they had to keep screwing up. Disaster after disaster. And now, here we are, watching the trainwreck unfold in slow motion. Oh yeah, the CGI looks great, I'll give y'all credit for that.

You know what? I can't help but ask—was it bad to expect? Was it bad to dream of something better? Something great? Something that you love? Was it really too much to ask for an adaptation that respected the source material? That understood why we love these characters so much?

Ohh yeah, who am I to say this? Just some random fan by the way. Don't worry. Even though I'm here yapping, you won't find me watching that crap.

By the way, I've heard Kim Dokja ahjussi will save the earth. Gasp. SUPPORT THE KING!!!

Enjoy!

The live action is 100% just for cash money grabbing aimed towards kdrama/kpop fans. It was never made with the attention of giving respect towards the original source as an 'adaptation'.

No effort to even TRY to match the novel or the manhwa.
and i genuinely believe it's for cashgrabs cus all the non readers who likes kpop and kdrama (no shade i like them too" but all of them been hyping the live action up although it's been REPEATEDLY agrued that it doesn't even make justice to the literal first chapter of the novel. Like that's insane, not even a tiny weeny change that maybe to cut cost, but literally story altering change. Truly i hate the greedy industry. If you can't make it true to the source, don't call it live action or and adaptation. Call it for what it is, another copycat trial and error cashgrab.

I wanna know how the author feels about this, dokkaebi not included in the adaptation and all

I went and started reading Roses and Champagne because so many people were saying “oh people don’t hate Caesar as much as Jaekyung even though Caesar shoots, rapes, and kidnaps Leewon.” Here I was expecting their relationship to be batshit form the fucking get-go only to find that not only had Caesar been (mostly*** before someone comes swinging with “he did xyz bad things I KNOW. CONTEXT) kind, caring, and considerate to Leewon for the first 40 chapters of the webtoon but that he was very clearly and deliberately PUSHED into crashing out the way he does when he finally DOES crash out for real (I’m on chapter 43).

These two characters fundamentally do not operate the same AT ALL not just from a personality standpoint but also narratively speaking. Caesar’s wilder actions are justified and explained by the narrative, Jaekyung’s, so far, are NOT. The issue is not JUST that Jaekyung’s a fucking asshole, it’s that after 60+ chapters of the fuckass webtoon, we don’t know WHY he is, we don’t know what any of his bullshit is rooted in. Not to mention all the other shit that’s ass about the writing of this webtoon. THAT’S why people can like and enjoy and understand a character like Caesar but not a character like Jaekyung, even though, yes! Absolutely! Caesar DOES do worse things than Jaekyung! Don’t fucking piss me off.

Anyway, thanks for the recommendation. I’ve been enjoying Roses and Champagne a whole lot so far.
