So, it has been a while since I read the manhwa (I haven't read the original webnovel), but I am overall pleased with how the adaptation has gone so far. You could definitely tell that there were very limited budgets. There are so many instances of slideshow animations or just still images, but they seemed to invest heavily in making beautiful stills and backgrounds.
My major complaint about the show is that, in general, it has gone very slowly. I expected them to be further along in the story after 12 episodes, but the pacing has been plodding at best. If my memory serves, I think they adapted 3 of the 7 volumes of the manhwa. I understand that a lot of shows tend to go too quickly, but this show just seems to drag out every conversation like it is padding for time (maybe to help stretch the animation budget too).
Overall happy with the show so far and hope that if it gets a second season it gets a bit more resources thrown its way.
Oh neat, so a second season could theoretically adapt the last 4 volumes? Since the pace of this one felt so slow, maybe doing 4 volumes for season 2 will feel much better.
A weak ending to the season unfortunately. I was really hoping she'd get to meet Beatrice at the graveyard, instead of some new blond guy. All we got was more reinforcement about the main couple's romance without advancing it much.
Overall I had fun with the series. The cast is enjoyable. And the isekai setup as the victim in a plot-device murder is a fun angle to explore. I hope it gets more seasons.
Agree that the ending felt a bit weak. I think that picking up the pace in the show a bit more and getting further in the story would have helped things. At the moment, Raeliana is still a character without much agency, and it would be great to see a bit of her future character growth.
Yeah I kept with it because of the great things I heard with the Manhwa but I knew most KR adaptations don't do that well at the moment. This does leave room for a season 2 but I'm not so sure we'll get one considering the popularity of the show doesn't seem that high. This entire season really doesn't answer any questions either and it doesn't feel like a meaningful arc.
