Tell me i'm wrong...

fav boy of the week

Aeeeeeeeeee

Cute!!!!!

as the title says, i just wanted to spread information because I love this series and them soo much u cant pull me away from the grasp they have on me

the show is pretty faithful to the original, although there were some parts that were swapped for one reason or another - mostly due to time.

the way i'll do this is, i'll first say what happens in the Kdrama (since more people are familiar with it) and then what happens in the Novel - small changes like added dialogue / continuation of dialogue or simple swapped backgrounds wont be noted (unless I find it interesting, funny or of importance)

OR if the scene wasnt added to the drama at all, I'll note that down (and vice versa if the scene is not in the novel)

if something isnt explained - its because its exactly the same / similar enough to the Kdrama. also keep in mind that myungha has A LOT of internal dialogue in the novel - so some may be reference, some wont.

as im reading with a fan translation, it may not be 100% accurate, but I'm trusting the fan who took the time out their day to translate - thank u to them

here we go <3

===========================================

[EP1] FUSTRAITED YEOWOON ====>

KDRAMA:

Yeowoon is running around the track - thinking about the events of last night

he's fustraited Myungha is avoiding him

he is scolded by his coach for being distracted and is told to run another lap

Cut to Tak Junho and the other bullies smoking - they are confused why Myungha is protecting Yeowoon and call Sangwon before they make any further moves [not in the novel]

the next day Myungha is with Kyunghoon - he asks him about Yeowoon - they then become friends. Kyunghoon warns him not to get involved with yeowoon's bullies [Happens in the novel but before Yeowoon's internal thoughts - see 'Differences pt2']

Yeowoon is stopped by his bullies - they ask him about Myungha and tell Yeowoon about Myungha's 'mad dog' status + rumours.

Yeowoon tries to leave but the bullies stop him - then Tak Joonkyung appears

Yeowoon sighs and expects trouble - but Tak Joonkyung apologises to him - telling him to tell Myungha that he apologised, before leaving

Yeowoon then goes to Myungha's class and chases him down the hall when Myungha tries to avoid him

Yeowoon confronts him

Myungha tells Yeowoon he needs to like him more if he want Myungha around.

NOVEL:

Yeowoon is in his class at his desk

his internal thoughts are more in depth - he thinks about how his bullying first started: the bullies didn't used to be mean, they used to look up to him, wanting to be his friend but that changed when Yeowoon 'stole' a race from Tak Joonkyung = everyone blamed him (even the coach) but Yeowoon needed the prize money.

All he knew in life was to run to make his grandmother happy

his thoughts then shift to Myungha who saved him yesterday and why was he avoiding him - was it becuz of the bus ride? (did Myungha find him tiring?)

The other two bullies come up to his desk and tell him about Myungha = asking if they are close - telling him of Myungha's 'mad dog' status + rumours.

one bully grabs Yeowoon's shoulder - Yeowoon stops him, refusing to let go and showing his strength

Tak Joonkyung walks into the room - Yeowoon assumes the worst, and thinks he might be physically attacked = Yeowoon considers fighting back as he had nothing else left - no grandma, no track, ect - his fist clenches, but loosens as he remembers Myungha's voice (saying he runs well and that he's a fan)

Tak Joonkyung immediately apologises and tells him to tell Myungha this

Yeowoon is surprised and goes to find Myungha

Myungha runs away from him

Yeowoon chases = internally mentioning his achievements to show that chasing Myungha was nothing in comparison

Myungha goes down the stairs - Yeowoon feels like a shadow is pulling at his leg and falls down the stairs, but Myungha catches him (and they both fall to the ground)

Myungha worries about Yeowoon's ankles and goes to touch him to help but Yeowoon protests - jumping to his feet and telling Myungha to get up

Myungha is still genuinely worried but eventually gets up from his kneeling position

Yeowoon questions why he was avoiding him

Myungha simply says he's got to like him more before smiling and leaving

Yeowoon simply watches him leave, finding him annoying

Yeowoon's throat is dry and scratchy - his sunbae is strange

[EP1 / EP2] FIRST PHONE CALL ====>

KDRAMA:

At home

Myungha is outside, contemplating staying in this world cuz it's nicer

his phone rings

Yeowoon immedialy asks what he meant earlier

Myungha deflects and ask how Yeowoon got his number

Yeowoon dismisses and asks if Myungha punched Tak Joonkyung

Myungha says does he 'look like' the type of person to do such a thing

Yeowoon says yeah

Myungha scolds him to be polite

Yeowoon deduces Myungha didn't punch him and then cuts the phone

Myungha is left staring at his phone

Myungha jokes whether Yeowoon cared about him or JoonKyung

a pop-up appears

fondness has gone up to -7

then Myungha gets a new message : a time limit and penalty of death

END OF EP1

EP2 continues from EP1

Yeowoon is in bed looking at his grandma's picture

he gets a notification and immediately checks it - its Myungha wishing him goodnight

Yeowoon judges the old emoji use but doesnt respond before putting his phone down, going back to sleep (with a subtle warmth?)

TITLE SCREEN

NOVEL:

At home

Myungha sits at his home-desk - commenting on Yeowoon's speed and doodling in a random workbook = Grandma thinks he's studying and threatens to call a psychic

Myungha doesnt even have time to respond as he's lost in thought

the fall from earlier is said to be a DEBUFF

Myungha ponders how to get a positive fondness if he always gets a debuff around Yeowoon = but he can't get fondness up without seeing Yeowoon. its a vicious cycle

just then he gets texts from an unknown user but from the nature of texts Myungha guesses who it is immediatly

Yeowoon says he got the number from Myungha's teacher

Yeowoon asks if Myungha likes him

Myungha laughs over text and says he must be 'really curious' to text him just for that

Yeowoon gets annoyed and says he's going to sleep

Myungha tries to stop him but Yeowoon doesnt respond

as a last ditch effort, Myungha calls him expecting no answer, but to his surprise Yeowoon picks-up

Myungha is a little stunned Yeowoon answered and honest didn't plan on what to talk about

Yeowoon tells him to speak or he's putting the phone down

Myungha suggests talking until they fall asleep

Yeowoon complains they arent close - Myungha finds his grumpiness cute (although if he was truly 19, he would have punched him)

Yeowoon shifts the convo to Joonkyung and Myungha protests saying he never did anything and tells Yeowoon to have some social skills

Yeowoon asks if the rumours about Myungha are true = if he really won a 7 vs 1

Myungha jokes it was 8 vs 1 and asks if Yeowoon actually believes that rumour

Yeowoon says Myungha didn't deny it though

Myungha tries to explain as its half-truth = 7 guys wanted to fight him and Myungha managed to knock 3 of them out, before security shut down the situation.

Myungha says it can be assumed he won before before deflecting, scolding Yeowoon with all this talk about winning and losing.

Yeowoon pouts and grumbles becuz he isnt getting a clear answer + threating to disconnect the phone cuz he has early training

Myungha chuckles and tells him to take care of his body

Yeowoon says he acts like a Grandma and disconnects the call

fondness goes up to -7 then the time-limit and penalty appear

Myungha stunned

Yeowoon is in bed and he's cold cuz there's a draft and his electric blanket is broken

he says goodnight to his Grandma's picture but gets no response

his phone buzzes, Myungha wishes him goodnight

Yeowoon cant understand himself - why did he care enough to go to the teachers office and get Myungha's number?

Yeowoon is confused at Myungha's use of bunny emoji - its too cute for Myungha

Although Yeowoon smiles at the thought of sending something cute

Yeowoon doesnt respond and places the phone by his side = turning to sleep

Yeowoon feels a little warmer having someone to say goodnight to

[EP2] MORNING TEXTS ====>

KDRAMA:

Leaving for school, Yeowoon gets many texts from Myungha = he doesnt respond

Myungha is brushing his teeth - he is reminded of his low fondness, time limit and penalty = he questions what 'death' even means in this context

Myungha eats breakfast with Grandma - he sighs as he sees his unanswered texts

Grandma scolds him for sighing and tells him to put his phone away

Myungha hides his phone under the table and asks Grandma how she came to like grandpa

Grandma drones on about how she and he met in the war but Myungha isn't planning to date Yeowoon so it isn't really useful to him = he quickly leaves for school

at school, Myungha is with Kyunghoon - Myungha asks Kyunghoon how to text friends, Kyunghoon says he has no friends but Myungha reiterates they are friends and they exchange numbers

Myungha gets a pop-up Yeowoon is close and he leaves the class quickly

as he escapes the halls, Yeowoon rings his phone, demanding to know where he is; confronting him about avoiding him

Myungha tries to deny it - twisting his lie but Yeowoon isn't buying it - he instead demands they eat lunch together

Myungha thinks about it, wanting to refuse but agrees before telling Yeowoon to focus in class

(then the scene cuts to the next)

NOVEL:

[also not important to these posts, but for some reason the scene where Myungha and Grandma talk at breakfast (which is featured in the Novel and Kdrama) isnt present in the Manhwa = idk why its ommitted when literally everything else from the novel is included]

The novel and Kdrama are almost 1-1 in this part of the story = their is only some minor chnages + a bit after the call.

the talk at breakfast and with kyunghoon in class is the same

Yeowoon is more threatening in his demands to eat together

First Yeowoon demands Myungha wait for him (since the seniors finish class a few mins earlier than the juniors) and then he demands Myungha pays for his lunch

Myungha agrees and tells him to concentrate in class before Yeowoon cuts the call abruptly

Myungha goes back to his class, telling Kyunghoon they cant eat together today (cuz Myungha is worried Kyunghoon will get hurt if theres a debuff)

Kyunghoon is sad - but Myungha instead offers to eat together after school and Kyunghoon perks back up (what a cutie-pie)

[EP2] PIZZA-BREAD LUNCH ====>

KDRAMA:

Myungha is walking to the canteen when he is rushed by a swarm of boys running to buy food

after buying lunch he sits desheveled on a bench = Yeowoon appears and sits beside him

Myungha hands him the pizza-bread and Yeowoon is surprised (in the drama Yeowoon was gonna buy it himself) but accepts the bread anyway

Myungha asks why Yeowoon doesnt like him

Yeowoon says he 'likes' him more than most people

Myungha understands Yeowoon is just not fond of people in general

Myungha asks what kind of person Yeowoon likes

Yeowoon finds the question dumb but asnwers with 'trustworthy' and 'dependable' people

Myungha says thats 'literally him'

Yeowoon asks why he wants to know

Myungha says hes Yeowoon's fan (and that he doesnt really care for track and feild) but he just likes to see Yeowoon run

Yeowoon drops his bread in surprise

Myungha picks it up and hands it back to him - Yeowoon tells him not to make dumb jokes

Myungha's fondness increases to -5 and gets a debuff

a leaf falls from the tree - Myungha covers Yeowoon and the leaf hits his hand - the purple smoke following

Yeowoon pushes his arm away, calling him weird

Myungha chuckles and looks at his hand emmiting the purple smoke

Myungha phone rings... its Kyunghoon = he answers

(then the scene changes)

NOVEL:

Myungha goes to get the bread during the rush-line = he loses his jacket and one of his buttons - but he got the bread at least

Myungha crouches to find his lost button

Yeowoon appears and immediatly finds the button

they both sit down at a nearby bench

Yeowoon is surprised Myungha actually brought him food - he wasnt being serious earlier = but he accepts the food anyway

Yeowoon irritably pouts but sits down - he tears into the bread

[same convo as kdrama] talking about Yeowoon not liking humans in general but liking Myungha a bit more than others. then Yeowoon says what kind of person he likes and that Myungha likes seeing Yeowoon run - (Myungha mentally explains how he likes Yeowoon's determination)

Yeowoon drops the bread, Myungha picks it put

Fondness increases, Debuff occurs [same as drama] although Myungha pulls Yeowoon closer to protect him from the leaf = he doesnt even explain why he did that - Yeowoon gets flustered and blushes before pushing him away

Myungha gets a call from Kyunghoon - he hears Kyunghoon's small voice on the other side... which is then followed by a new voice he'd never heard before -

the voice taunts Myungha

[EP2] CLASS FIGHT ====>

KDRAMA:

On the rooftop, boys surrounded

Tak Junho confronts Myungha about messing with his brother (Myungha accidently assumes them to be dating)

Myungha asks why Kyunhoon is here but Junho merely says he 'made the wrong friend'

Myungha says they should just talk but Junho throws punches = Myungha ducks and weaves out the way, reitterating to be civil (ensuring not to hurt Junho)

Junho still wants to fight so Myungha flicks his head as a warning

Junho throws a box and throws more punches, so Myungha jabs his side a few times

Junho doesnt back down so Myungha rushes at him in intimidation but Junho almost falls off the roof = Myungha catches his arm and pulls him back (they end up in a psedo-romantic pose)

Junho is embaressed and gets up

Sangwon appears for the first time, slow clapping like a cartoon villain

Sangwon is impressed and wants Myungha to punch / fight him

Security appears before it can continue

Sangwon apologises unsincerely

they get off the roof

Sangwon notices Yeowoon and deduces he ratted them out = Yeowoon says nothing

Myungha and Kyunghoon come off the roof too as Sangwon leaves first - Yeowoon also leaves minutes later.

Kyunghoon and Myungha walk the halls = Kyunghoon apologises

Kyunghoon then explains about Sangwon - how he's rich, picks fights and gets away with a lot - but is still a nice person at times

NOVEL:

Myungha on the rooftop

Tak Junho accuses him of messing with his brother = Myungha thinks back to his convo with Joonkyung - he didnt even touch him (he basically asked if Joonkyung bullies Yeowoon and while intimidated, Joonkyung immediatly says he wouldnt)

[fight is same as kdrama] Myungha mistakes them to be dating, Junho tries throwing punches, Myungha tells him to be civil - Junho kicks and Myungha catches him where they end up in that romantic pose = Junho blushes before pushing away

Sangwon claps and asks Myungha to punch him cuz he heard the rumours about Myungha

security appears and Sangwon flirts with the old security man (cuz honeslty why not)

the boys filter off the roof one-by-one while apologising

Sangwon calls Yeowoon 'Myunghas loyal frined' mockingly before leaving

A small flashback to before coming to the roof - Myungha wanted to fight, but Yeowoon suggests getting the teacher - they decide to do both (Myungha would go to the roof to fight while Yeowoon would call the teacher)

Yeowoon asks if Myungha is okay = Myungha dismisses saying he didnt even fight. Myungha then goes to Kyunghoon asking if HE is okay after being bullied = Kyunghoon reassures.

Yeowoon quickly announces he's leaving to track and feild - not even looking back as Myungha wishes him well

Myungha and Kyunhoon get off the roof = Kyunghoon explains about Sangwon [Same as Kdrama but with more info] like: Sangwon was expelled from his last prestegious school after an 'accident' (its not mentioned what happened), Sangwon's family owns most of the real-estate in the area, and that he's a model

Kyunghoon says Sangwon isnt a bully - he just plays too much.
