Broadcast Edits & Novel Accuracy Check✂️ Broadcast Edits & What You Missed:
- Ending Cliffhanger: The drama ends with a proposal and is explicitly labeled "Season 1" by the production team, suggesting an abrupt conclusion. The novel's more complete story continues beyond this point.
- Underdeveloped Side Character Arc: The drama greatly simplifies the relationship between the female lead and her roommate. The roommate’s storyline, which involves her knowledge of the catfishing scheme and her forgiveness of the protagonist, is handled very briefly and feels rushed compared to the novel.
- Watered-Down Character Depth: The drama primarily focuses on the "couple's two-person show." It omits significant development regarding the female lead's personal background and the more intricate details of how she navigates her relationships with the other "seven catfished men," making the resolution feel less nuanced.
