Besides that, I recognized that I read this novel already from the summary. Its called A Month With My Bias for those who want to read it.
With most adaptations they take a lot away from the scenes since its mostly the MCs inner thoughts (depending on the novel), and this time, it's not gotten any better.
They've cut down on scenes, understandable, but the buying water at the store was kinda important for setting up MCs Initial interactions with Haewoon.
Then I felt like they did um whats his name, Park Changgi, the older actor (?) a Lil dirty. He's a bit more, ehh, mean or can be seen as more old fashioned here, because they've taken out the scenes with him and the younger idol. He wasn't this (kinda) rude in the novel, he was likeable.
Then they completely skipped the guessing the song scene when MC lowkey almost gets outed as a fan for IMMEDIATELY guessing specter songs, and no character here brings it up when it was a moment of funny, embarrassing tension in the novel.
Of course, i get cutting back because the scenes would be WAYYY longer, but cutting them out completely was not the best choice.
Basically, the novel sets the characters personalities actually different than this adaptation. Even the MC they've changed. At first, he didnt know whether having a smart watch was cheating and he was confused but in this adaptation they only briefly mention it and kind of set up that he knew he was cheating (he didn't find out till the end in the novel but he used that to his advantage to get fourth place).
Its different for sure, but I can safely say i don't like it more than its novel version.
Haewoon was also more sus in the novel but it was just the right amount for us to be like, oh he's doesn't know MCs a fan, or maybe he does. Yknow?
ch 1 author knows Ball lmfao
