When life gives you tangerines is proof that original sincere scripts still shines best in a world of webtoon adaptations.

aren't webtoon adaptations also a form of an original sincere script just in the form of webtoons? i don't think the problem lies with the script itself but with the execution. honestly, the original webtoon story was already great until someone decides to change some things

An adaptation of a webtoon into a drama is no longer an original script.

and whose fault is that exactly? they don't follow the "supposedly adapted webtoon" word for word but instead turn it into a mid plot drama with subpar writing and now makes people like you think that it's a level below what you're calling "original sincere scripts"

Why are you being hysterical dawg? This isn’t about quality of adaptations because there are some good adaptations. It’s about giving people fresh plots instead of just being lazy and recycling shit over again. It’s ok if you’re cool with the same plot done repeatedly but some of us want some originality when we watch dramas.

calling someone who's only making an opinion "hysterical" be fr lol. you're the one demeaning webtoon adaptations as if there's something wrong with it and you do know that not everyone reads webtoons, right? so yes, it could've been a fresh plot to people if done right 🐕

There was a quiet honesty to it. Nothing felt rushed or engineered for virality. It reminded me why original writing still matters so much.

and one thing about original kdrama script is they always go viral or hit. wlgyt, cloy and so many

Can't believe it has almost been one year since 'when life gives you tangerines' changed lives(mine)

Twinkling Watermelon too!

This series evoked all types of emotions

TIME Magazine names When Life Gives You Tangerines the best K-Drama of 2025. Called “a beautiful, deeply engaging story,” it follows a spirited girl and a steadfast boy on Jeju— a life unfolding through setbacks and small triumphs, proving love doesn’t conquer time, it lives inside it.

Definitely.. they need to leave my fav webtoon and Manhwas alone and start writing their own scripts

It's been almost 2 years, and I still haven't found a show that gives me the same feeling as that one, even in other K-dramas 🥹❤️‍🩹

I've been stalling on watching this drama because I KNOW i'm going to be a bawling mess😭😭

폭삭속았수다는 진짜 명작임.

This one is brilliant!

@grok what's the name of this series

Her saniyesine şükür 🫠

Can someone provide context for the first clip? Why did he jump off the boat and swim to her??

Fact

i fear with lots of webtoon adaptations there’s sometimes a tendency to edit the plot which i understand if the webtoon is lwk bad in aspects and etc. but it’s when they worsen the plot or completely change it from the original story when it’s good rlly annoys me.

will be watching this thanks 😻
