Disappointed Webtoon Reader

If I were rating this in comparison to the webtoon, it would be a 5 overall, but that would not be fair on this platform.

This production cut so much of the original story out for the 15 minute episodes, that I am disappointed in this series. They should have had 30-45 minute episodes to do the webtoon justice. The webtoon does not have graphic sex, and they do not make love (rated PG, no light sabers) until the very end, and there is very little skinship. So that wasn't the issue for butchering the story. Also, Yechan spent too much time with the foreigner (John? I forgot his name), who was not Yechan's sole confidant. Yechan of the webtoon was kind of like the town's child, since there were so many young people there. Everyone loves Yechan.

In the webtoon there was more conflict since Yul was ending a former relationship, and the resolution ended up with an amicable relationship between the ex and Yechan. Yul did not blow off his law studies, but by being with Yechan, decided to defy his father and pursue this dream. The webtoon takes place over several years, and we see how Yul defrosts and becomes himself with Yechan.

I am usually critical of many Korea BL, and poor storytelling is one of the reasons why. The actors were suited for the roles, did the kissing scene properly too. It's too bad they didn't get to present the whole story. If they are going to adapt a story, they should do it properly, not just make the main goal 15 minute episodes.
