Only sword & Fairy 2 takes place few years after the event of first game, while drama skipped second game and went with 3rd game story, rest of the games are standalone and even if Sword & Fairy 3 and 5 has 2 parts they mention it's either prequel or sequel except that rest of the games are standalone so you can watch both Sword & Fairy 4 & 6 without worry as it has different story, it's like Final Fantasy games or Dragon quest games each part has different story, and it's complete.
Game presentation of story is far superior to drama versions game has a plus ie immersion plus it has main story and side quests and more info about the story world also talk with npcs when visiting an area etc.

But still better ending than most shows I watched because show that starts great always have trouble near the end or at least few episodes one might feel they are just dragging.

1) Love triangle is there.
2)They are together from start to end because the story revolves around them, she is a ghost when he meets her first time, and only he sees her, romance angle start maybe after 10 episodes.
3)No.
4)It's not bad or depressing ending.
I rewatched this show after a long time now I like it more, compared to many fantasy/supernatural dramas that came out around that time period this show was far better, story is slow paced don't expect big supernatural fights or anything like My demon or dramas like that but far better than My man is Cupid.

I enjoyed watching this film, good one.

I finished the webtoon and I liked it, part 2 of drama might include the cop from webtoon because I saw a guy on rooftop only cop has the reason to be on rooftop in the webtoon to catch suspects, they made a random guy from webtoon into a massive something in the drama, his lover in webtoon left him and novel writer was different woman so making them one in drama make this more complex and challenging for the drama team to make everything connect. Hope everything works out.

One actor is another country got sort of banned for taking a photo during a trip, his last drama was a big hit, these kinds of things don't make any sense, just bad luck for some.

No, the last scene before credits shows his mother getting the item she pawned with her son's item.

It's hard to make a live action that come close to the donghua, unless they make big budget film series based on the show, even films can't fully cover the story.

Same, how the story progressed from the start was disappointing.

True, typical cdrama style protag being the best option to become emperor will give it up to random people who are there only to become emperor once protags give it up, protag becoming a ruler with his talent can bring forth a prosperous era.

That's great, I was just seeing I have seen many dramas keep the bad or parts that can be removed while remove the best parts that can make the show even better etc, but I think in this drama only him sitting near her is shown so they won't show the part where ML is not happy with cousin regarding what he did in drama etc.

Maybe that is why she didn't want to get in relationship with him this time.

Even if the woman is a bad person, doesn't mean she should be raped, else FL might have felt guilty of what she did to become empress and getting raped she just accepted it as punishment or payment for what she did, it's just messed up, if ML knew his cousin raped FL and was OK with it that too is problematic.
This is the problem when adapting novels into drama they make a lot of changes, sometimes even change the story a lot, but they stay true to all the bad parts in the novel will not remove or change it, but remove the best parts in novels.
I watched two donghuas after watching drama versions, and I was shocked because the donghuas were excellent, one was Novoland Eagle flag drama version cut all the best fights etc and added new characters and made that character relevant to story, donghua version of that drama is superb with great fights. Next being Legendary twins donghua that had cultivation and fights against powerful enemies, but drama version was like protag was just a human at right place at right time just escaped because was lucky.

She was not pure evil, her circumstances led her to that path in the first life, but with that experience she wanted to change, and it's not perfect.

My Journey to you is sort of wuxia mystery, it's dark.

I think webtoon version is complete, as for drama version splitting them into seasons good for Netflix to get more subscriptions, it's hard to make people keep their subscriptions.
It's rare for k dramas to have more than one season, this trend started with OCN dramas which had 10–12 episodes, one of them got sequels and concluded the story while Vampire prosecutor ended with cliffhanger in season 2 and got a spin off later but never a sequel.
K dramas that get aired on TV only rare few got more than one sequel, but they give a conclusion for story in each season don't end with big cliffhangers.

The story is about an ex gangster who lies low and when his brother is killed he wants revenge, a lot of people are involved even though the act looked random, there are women characters, but the story revolves around ML revenge. It's based on the webtoon with the same name, which is completed.
There are manga, webtoon, Manhua with female centric stories, Gokusen deals with female acting head of a yakuza clan teaching in school.
There are few other gangster webtoons with no major female characters or love interest.

War of the arrows
Tomorrow
There are few other dramas, will add once remember names.
There is a game based on Mongolian invasion of Japan.
This drama also mentions how one of the Chinese dynasty ended.

There are few films and shows that throw more light into the matter. But yes, it was hard for them.
