Tbh, the drama itself wasn't all that bad. Yes, it didn't do the webtoon justice; well they choose to end it with the last arc in the webtoon, cramming that build-up 150+ chs into 8 eps of 40-ish mins resulting the...unique plot. But I see they somehow tried to keep the essence like, how Baekji Na actually wishes true friends or something? I kinda forget the detail but I remember reading a panel where he imagined being friends with Sieun? Or is that only my imagination? XD loll
Anyway if it was like that, then it matches the drama; yes it's different (duh, when I watched that scene, I was like 'oh? Hoo... childhood friend. These two? Hoo. Umm. Okay. Interesting..hmm #frowning—) but the essence is there, needing someone he could call a friend.
Honestly, whc2 is challenging in itself coz it was the actual Weak Hero time set. Whc1 turned out good because, in the webtoon, it wasn't that deep, which gave the director or whoever wrote the plot for the K-drama a lot of freedom to explore, expand, to build; while in whc2, we, webtoon readers, are more deeply connected to the characters, the plots—knowing what will happen, etc thus we make somewhat expectation toward the drama inadvertently—or at least, that's how I perceive it.
Dammit, I dunno if it makes sense; Eng is not my main language ( ≧ᗜ≦)
