Listen, say what you want about the weak hero manhwa, but at least they gave us a good storyline.
they gave us background for almost all characters- diverse characters and their friend groups, iconic duos and trios, great fight scenes, and my favourite thing, they made us understand the antagonists and protagonists.
like it may have not been the best ending (R.I.P Donald) but it gave us a proper ending- one that made sense and one without any plot armors, and that is why i love this manhwa.
the show did all the characters dirty- i mean they changed the back stories of so many characters, changed their personalities and their ambitions and i hated it.
not to mention, the erasure of some of the best characters in the manhwa. like where's Gerard, Teddy, Philip, Rowan, Julia and Lily? where's Jimmy, Jack, Hwangmo, Jake, Dean, Timothy, Eunchan, Forest, Sam, Robin, Kingsley and most importantly, where's Changhui?
these characters made a huge portion of the story, and made it more enjoyable. they showed the different point of views of characters that are facing their own problems and challenges- and the way the author weaved all the stories into one was beautiful. erasing them and focusing on just a few characters made the drama boring and honestly, i just gave up after finding out about Donald's backstory. because you can join the fandom from the drama but at the end of the day it is completely different from the manhwa.
