‼️ORV LIVE ADAPTATION RANT‼️
This is my honest rant, yet, before we begin, let me make this clear, if you're sensitive to cursing, if you're easily offended by strong opinions, I highly suggest for you to scroll. Scroll now. Kindly scroll, dear. Because I’m about to go off.
First off, let’s talk about how they disrespected Kim Dokja’s birthday by releasing this crap on that exact day. Of all the days in the year, you chose that one? This was supposed to be a day for the fans to celebrate, to honor the character who carried this goddamn story on his broken back, and yet you had the audacity to use it to shove this abomination down our throats? Unbelievable.
And let’s not even start with the casting, because holy hell, the casting is a joke. The phrase 'Disappointed yet expected.' We had our expectations low—like, 17 feet underground low—but even then, they managed to dig deeper. The height difference? A disgrace. Kim Dokja is supposed to be shorter than Yoo Joonghyuk, and yet here we are with a cast where they’re nearly the same height or, God forbid, Kim Dokja looks taller. Like, did y’all even read the damn novel? And don’t get me started on the faces. Look, I get that live-action adaptations can’t always be perfect, but this? This is just straight-up insulting.
Of course, some K-drama, K- Pop and actor stans had to jump in, shipping minors with adults, twisting relationships beyond recognition, and defending it all with the excuse of “they’re just actors.” That’s disgusting. The way people are excusing this is beyond infuriating. Then, some are saying it's only popular because their idol was cast in it. Wow~ wwitwiww~
