A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E

I’ve read the manhwa and it’s been one of my absolute favourites for the longest time!! I can’t believe I’ve only just now seen this live adaption!!

Although it’s short (like most k-bls ?) it honestly such a good adaptation bc it stays so true to the original plot (except the spicy~~ bits ofc) and Jong Chan and Seung Hyun are depicted so so damn well it’s amazing. Seung still has those adorable attributes like the manhwa and jong chan still has that cool tone with responsibility, ofc still with those ever so cute moments he breaks character and becomes adorable himself! The pacing does seem to be a little quick as they basically get together by the 3rd episode but I guess that’s also align to the original.

My little quibble with this is that I wish that either the cuts scenes to the character versions of them were based on the original manhwa (ofc they look drastically different to the characters tho) or the manhwa was used in the scenes where ji yeon and lee beom were reading and dictating the plot! Would have been a nice little allusion.

But I also love loved the aspect of the interns making a video and Jong Chan making his own company!!

It was overall a cute short watch! But it rlly did help knowing the plot beforehand bc otherwise there wasn’t much emphasis put on the important parts of each characters personality.
