Fun RomCom but Deviates from Webtoon Midway

To preface, I remember reading first few chapters of the webtoon, but not until recently I remember to binge the kdrama, and then decided to binge the webtoon right after. The start of this series is cringy and embarrassing as I remember it lol

I did thoroughly enjoy the kdrama and webtoon overall, but if you're a reader then kdrama probably could've been better.



♥ Story ♥
As this is based on a webtoon/webnovel of the same name, the kdrama deviates from the webtoon midway (I assume because this kdrama aired when the webtoon/novel was ongoing), so the second half was not that great with the lack of source material. The ending did feel predictable to me which isn't bad since I expected a happy ending and got what I hoped for ^^

However I felt the webtoon was more enjoyable in the second half in comparison to the kdrama (as it has 2 more couples - one with Hari's brother). You also get to see the main lead's cute kids in the webtoon *0* so I highly suggest reading the webtoon.

Taemoo's grandpa is tad more mean in the kdrama which I didn't enjoy that much, but kdrama did not include grandpa's love story either, so I feel in general there was not enough screentime for the side characters stories.
Or basically I think kdrama production could've waited to shoot & air this once the webnovel finished



♥ Cast ♥
The main actors & actresses did pretty well!
I absolutely love Seo Hye Won's acting in here; overdramatic yet funny. (I do feel bad for her since she plays a support character who doesn't win the heart of her love interest like in Alchemy of Souls but her character portrayal here is so different & made me laugh)

However I am more knocking this section down due to appearance styling.
♦ I wish the stylist gave Hari a wig like in the webtoon just so it makes more sense for the story on why grandpa couldn't tell the difference with Hari's appearance.
♦ Also I couldn't tell the male leads apart when they all had no glasses and didn't part their bangs (only could tell based on voices).



♥ Music ♥
Honestly didn't pay much attention to this so I guess it's good, but there wasn't anything that stood out to me from the OST


♥ Rewatch ♥
I'd probably only would rewatch snippets, but not a full rewatch due to the second-hand embarrassment I felt for Hari
