It was an adaptation only until the last few episodes, then it became screenwriter's ego.
While this is a great drama I can't rate this higher that 8.0. My main problem is deviation from source material.
Story, Acting, Cinematography, OST everything is perfect and delivers to the genre beautifully. The problem arises in the last few episodes where the writers decided to deviate from original webtoon story and forcefully push some kdrama tropes into narrative which neither were fun to watch not did they fit with characterization established earlier.
1. There was no long separation trope in original webtoon, that was a kdrama only screenwriter fantasy,
2. There was no rich family poor family drama created by grandfather in original webtoon, that was again a kdrama only screenwriter fantasy. He was, on the contrary, the most ardent supporter of their relationship in webtoon.
Thankfully overall story and ending, though adulterated, is still quite good. However, I can't excuse the fact that a portion of source material was changed into something formulaic due to unknown reasons.
When screenwriters deviate from original writer's works it feels like a disrespect towards the original source material. Its understandable the need for deviation when the source material has problems in it but when the source material is a hit in itself, its a just sad attempt by the screenwriters to establish that they know better which they definitely don't.
That's my problem and that's why I rate this kdrama which could easily have a been a 9/10 only 8/10.
