Adaptation of the Story from Webtoon Original (Recommend?)
Note: I use the names of the original webtoon characters to make it easier.[[Story]] 4.5/10
I like the drama and all the values of friendship, sacrifices, self-confidence/self-love, etc. but the primary element is the adaption of the story from the original webtoon. Somehow everything is adapted well from the beginning of the drama (with some difference like Jay can Speak!). I could even recall some parts of the webtoon in this drama. BUT as the story progresses it is taking a different path on it's own. Although I don't have much to complain since the original webtoon has also involved a different path in gang fighting and not really talked about why Daniel has two bodies, this drama has somehow resolve (but not completely) Daniel's situation. It goes down to a path that is wayyyyyy different from the original. They even messed up Little "Fatty" Daniel's character which is a huge minus for me. There are even plot holes and face palming very idiotic moments (WHY CANT YOU LOCK THE FREAKING DOOR!) but I guess other dramas have that.
The Ending is good but somehow sad. I do think there is a better alternative ending for this drama.
[[Acting and OST]] 10/10
The acting is really good! It's a perfect score for me really. They even have a good actors that are similar to the original. I am very impress with Fatty Daniel's and Zack Lee's actors. They look exactly in the webtoon. Main actors are also in their character.
The OST too is amazing! I love it.
[[Recommend?]]
It's a good drama for those people who didn't read the webtoon, but really disappointing who already read it.
[[Overall]] 6.5/10
It's a good drama but not a good adaptation. I am honestly not satisfied. I do think there a more reasonable story for Daniel's two bodies.

I mean, sure, it's fine to change and adapt some things, but....the grit and tongue in cheek humour that was in the original comic is sorely missing here. Which may be understandable given the cultural differences. Also, compared to the webtoon, the female characters here get more focus and spotlight, and I feel like the lead character (Wen Shuai) is a lot more timid and "physically weak" compared to the original webtoon character.
That said, I'll still watch this to support the webtoon but I know it's nowhere near the storytelling standard of the original.
