Webtoon makjang done right

TL;DR - a 120 episode makjang drama condensed into 12 episodes done right. A much better version compared to the webtoon that has more depth and is overall, a fun watch that hits both dramatic and romantic moments that you expect from a Cinderella revenge story plot.

I'm currently nearing the end of reading the webtoon version but can already say that this live action drama version, in my opinion, is much more enjoyable and digestible. The flow, script, and depth in this is much smoother and the actors do a great job enhancing their characters and making this story with its exaggerated characters from the webtoon, believable. The balance between the cute comedic moments to cheering for the FL during her revenge was so well done; it really made me hooked from the first episode without prior knowledge of the webtoon/plot.

A Cinderella revenge story that's entertaining, fleshed out, and easily watchable. FL in my opinion did a great job and was another reason I was hooked from the beginning. I've watched her since her daily 120 episode drama days and was glad to see her play a non-evil main lead. She really has improved over the years and this drama really showed her charms. The veteran actors and younger cast had great chemistry.

A watch that goes as you expect it to, cheesy flaws and all, but is still entertaining and well converted from its original format that gets you hooked from the start.
