Netflix RUINS everything!

Netflix: - "That's a cool webtoon with a nice story and characters. Let's do an adoption but with some changed".
The oblivious poor me: = "You mean like little tweaking here and there to make it fit in 16 episodes?"
- "LOL! No silly girl!" I mean, we'll change EVERYTHING—the core characteristic of the characters. We'll mess up with the storyline to the point where it doesn't make any sense. But fear not! We're keeping the names of the characters! "

If you're here because someone recommended A Business Proposal for you, walk away and go read the Webtoon. You'll have a much better experience.
If you'd read the Webtoon and would like to see the adaption, prepare to be super disappointed.
The characters had been changed to the point where they had totally lost their charm.

Kang Tae Moo is your average rich, jerk character who's insecure and was whining because she compared him to a bird. Don't mind the confidence he had in the webtoon. He's constantly shivering and in tears.
Jin Young Seo, who was not interested in competing in the webtoon, which made her win over her rival, is now a competitive person who makes up lies just to strengthen Ha ri's position.
Her rival (Jo Yoo Jung), the composed businesswoman who pushes YoungSeo to face the real world, is now an airhead. The most annoying character that ever existed.
Ha Min, the responsible, charismatic young man, is now a complete loser and good-for-nothing brother who blows money on girls!
Min Woo (her crush of 7 years) is innocent. He has a horrible girlfriend who's just horrible. Why? God knows.

The list goes on, of course. And the changes they made to the story were far more ridiculous.
It gave me (Death Note) flashbacks. Netflix takes a strong story with unique characters and changes them to fit one of the stereotypes it has.
I completely lost interest in episode 11. Thank God it's only 12 episodes because I barely forced myself to finish it.

Don't watch the drama. Read the webtoon.

Thank you!
