I was completely disappointed by this after watching the first episode and so I dropped it afterwards.
For those who loved it, I'm sorry for not giving this a chance. But the main reason why I disliked it after its first episode was because it strayed light years away from its original source material.
I have read the manhwa before this came out (and I probably shouldn't have since it resulted with a terrible reaction to the drama) and I loved it. So with the hype (and the poster) going around the internet before it premiered, I had high expectations on it. And it was such a disappointment to finally watch it only for it to deliver such a far off plot.
I was reluctant to continue watching the first episode but gave it a chance. However, its huge gap and differences eventually turned me off to the point of dropping the entire drama.
For one, the manhwa was melodramatic and tragic with less comedy in it. It was nothing like the drama that forces comedy in every "I am Habaek" introductions of the first episode.
The entire premise of the manhwa was far from the one in the drama. For those who didn't know and read the manhwa, here is a list of the differences between the source and the drama (as far as its premise goes):
1. Habaek's bride was supposed to be the sacrifice of her village in order for Habaek to end the long drought. Therefore, anyone could be Habaek's bride, not just So ah (as the drama highlights her to be his destined bride). He did not know who could his bride be until So ah arrived in his world.
2. Habaek was actually a little boy in the morning and his true, older self at night (and there's some background story that explains that).
3. The setting of the manhwa mainly took place in habaek's world and not in the mortal world. There were no "travelling betwen worlds".
4. The manhwa's a romance tragedy NOT rom-com (which has a very different tone).
Those were a few differences but it felt that the drama has robbed the manhwa with its characters and concept and created a whole new story, claiming it their own. It was somehow disrespectful to the writer of the manhwa (as how I saw it) to rewrite the entire plot and leave only the characters. And those who have actually read the manhwa will understand where I'm coming from.
