Writer’s Thoughts
For someone who has been reading the Manhwa since its beginning, this is total nonsense. I agree there are too many scenes in Manhwa to act all the scenes in the drama are impossible but totally changing the story is crazy. Taesung forcing Haebom to love him had different kinds of feelings. Taesung has been in love with Haebom for a long time which made him act not kind once get got Haebom’s affection. But not even including it and making a totally different way out of it is too much for a Manhwa reader. The drama itself was good but it didn’t make me have any butterflies in my stomach. The actors do lack in many things which are clearly shown in the direction of the drama.
