Yes, I've had this director on my radar back in his short dramas days, and it really stands out the way he does these dramas and knows how to keep the audience invested š

Tbh I donāt mind if they havenāt read the novel š as long as they do justice to the character and actually feel like the role. With adaptations changing so much, a good performance matters more to me than how they prepared for it.
The MDL ranking seems to have peaked at #14 and has now slipped back to #16 right as the leaks happened. I wonder…
I think it's a combination of both since I have seen a lot of viewers feeling like the drama dipped a bit in the second half, pacing and editing started to be disconnected, some things don't make sense etc

I completely understand where youāre coming fromāthose recycled tropes can feel especially frustrating when the original material already offers so much depth and nuance š
At the same time, I think expecting a fully faithful, page-to-screen adaptation might inevitably lead to some disappointment. The shift from novel to drama comes with its own constraintsāruntime, pacing, production choicesāso a degree of reinterpretation is almost unavoidable.
That being said, I do feel this team made a genuine effort to honor the essence of the source material. Even with the changes, thereās a clear sense of respect for the original story āØ
I also kind of wish we, as viewers, could hold space for the positives alongside the critiques. Itās completely valid to feel frustratedāeveryone connects with stories differentlyābut when the conversation leans only into whatās lacking, it can eclipse what the drama actually did well. So while it may not be a perfect adaptation, it does stand out as a more considered and sincere oneāand that, in itself, is worth appreciating š
Lol someone should just make a discussion and post what happened with the leaked eps blunder so poor viewers who just discover this would be referred there
I honestly thought they will release all eps today as damage control but nooooo, we get to continue the 1 ep a…
Yeah honestly I'm relatively new in the cdramaland, around 5 years or so, but it's my first time seeing such a thing happen and it sucks major ass, hope it's just a bump in the road for our crew ( i know it's too much of a positive outlook, but I can't help it, otherwise I'll loose my marbles)
