    Listened to this episode today as i just finished watching the drama. I loved the book AND the drama. Yes, they were different but they had to be. I don’t think it’s fair to judge the series based on the book. So many kdramas are based on books or webtoons or are remakes and we don’t expect a duplicate production. The guests were hard to follow as everyone talked at the same time –

      Hi Kate! Thanks for your comment and for listening! I did want a perspective of someone who read the book since I hadn’t, and I understand your point. Great adaptations, like Jurassic Park, are wildly different from the book it’s based on. And apologies for the audio; my guests were pretty passionate! Next time I have that many guests, I’ll be sure to get their thoughts one at a time! lol

Welcome to Daebak K-Rambles! I’ve been watching dramas since 2011 and blogging Asian drama reviews since 2017. In 2021, I finally combined my years of blogging and movie podcasting to create the Daebak K-Rambles Podcast, where myself and a host of drama friends and creators from around the world have fun reviewing K-dramas (and sometimes C-dramas).
