based on stuff i've read
these are adaptations on storys that i have read myself only (no titles that are adaptations but ones i don't know)
some notes to the changes the dramas have done
! everything is personal opinion !
-
1. Sei no Gekiyaku
Japanese Movie - 2020
Adapted from the manga with the same title by Mizuta Yuki
heavy changes to the plot - the story is messed up in itself but personally i cannot recommend the drama and will always chose the manga over it - the changes ruined the story for me

2. Love Stage
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Adapted from the manga "Love Stage!!" (ラブ ステージ) written by Eiki Eiki (影木栄貴) and illustrated by Zao Taishi (蔵王大志)

multiple changes to scenes and some has been exculded - but the overall story is the same

4. Semantic Error
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Adapted from the web novel "Semantic Error" (시맨틱 에러) by Jeo Soo Ri (저수리)
the original story is still ongoing so the story had to be shortened which makes it feel rushed towards the end - the sexual plot has been removed and some small changes to the scenes

5. Cherry Blossoms After Winter
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Adapted from the webtoon "Cherry Blossoms After Winter" (겨울 지나 벚꽃) by Bam Woo (밤우)
-
6. Oh My Assistant
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Adapted from the webtoon “Oh! My Assistant” (오나의어시님) by Mila (밀라) and Angrymonster (앵몬)
the webtoon has a strong sexual focus which had to be censored for the drama. (reviews state that that hinders the story majorly - take that as you want)

Adapted from the manga series "Ameiro Paradox" (飴色パラドックス) by Natsume Isaku (夏目イサク)

8. The New Employee
Korean Drama - 2022, 7 episodes
Adapted from the web novel "The New Employee" (신입사원) by Moscareto (모스카레토)
the drama removed the sexual plot parts - i do not like this drama, the plot changes are not apprechiated on my side but my main problem is just that the main character comes across totally different in the drama (webtoon: reliable, talented, doesn't let himself be screwed over; drama: just a baby)
-
9. A Shoulder to Cry On
