Just binge-read after binge-watching the series lol. I went into it thinking there was no way the series could top the manhwa, especially since I’m usually more attached to the original story. And yeah… I was right, but not because the series was bad. It’s actually really good! I just wish they hadn’t changed or omitted some of the scenes I was especially looking forward to seeing come to life. The casting, though? SO GOOD. Everyone fits their characters so well, especially Jay. Toptap is literally his spitting image, GOSH I am really happy that they somehow did the adaptation well. Way to prove haters lol. I just witnessed the amount of hate when it was announced that this story will be having an adaptation mainly because it is a thai adaptation. I don't really think much about that that tine cuz I'm on break on bl series that time and ain't planning to watch it but because I'l curious how they did adapted it, I came to watch and love it as well. But even with how good the adaptation is, I think I’m still more drawn to the manhwa. Maybe because some of the dialogue in the series didn’t quite carry the same weight for me. There were emotions I felt so deeply while reading that just didn’t hit the same way when I heard them in the series. And maybe it’s because I see a little bit of myself in Yoohan. I’ve been struggling with this feeling for years, and honestly, I don’t even know what to call it. That’s probably why some of his lines hit me harder than I expected, especially his words as the office worker who attempted. The idea that if someone can still find even the smallest bit of joy in their life, then they deserve to live... Because I’m still here doing exactly that, trying to find little reasons to keep living even though I don’t have a goal in life. I don’t know what I’m living toward yet, and maybe that’s okay. Maybe having something to look forward to doesn’t always have to be some huge dream or purpose. Maybe sometimes, finding one small thing that makes you want to stay is enough. I think that’s what this story reminded me of. Sometimes you don’t need to know where your life is going to choose to stay for another day.
