i really like when they adapt a series in a way that suits the new medium + provides alternate but harmonious development to the original series. adaptations don’t need to be 100% faithful to the original storyline as long as they remains faithful to the original themes and purposes

#.t #like i think my id is gangnam beauty adapts the webtoon really well #bc it creates a fuller story by developing the side characters soo much more + changing the pace of mirae’s development #without compromising the story or main themes #likes it’s a v introspective story in the sense that so much of it is focused on her internal dialogue #but they did a great job of externalizing that + adapting it for the format of a drama #there are things i like more about the webtoon but overall i prefer the drama tbh #vs sweet home + alice in borderland #where they make the central conflict the action to the point of neglecting #the main themes + characterization #sweet home obv takes an extreme turn away from the source material #but it gets v messy + confused at that point #like the writers didn’t really know what they wanted to portray…#but i think there are soo many ways they could have changed the story + elevated it instead #with AIB i think the show + especially the ending falls flat bc they stuck to the main plot points #without really weaving in the theme of ‘what’s the purpose of life’#with so much of the introspections and character dev cut out #i think it would have made more sense to have an alternate ending from the manga #bc that’s what carries the mangas conclusion #but it didn’t hold up as well……..
