I did not read the webtoon series so had no idea what this series was about. It was worth the watch, regardless of whether it follows the source material or not specifically because of Seol-Hyun Kim. She does an excellent job in both of her roles (past and present) and she carries the show.

The secondary male protagonist (another singer/actor) did a very fine job in his role as well. I think the reason this show is not as highly rated as it should be is because of the confusion from jumping one timeline to the other was not as well done as it could have been.

The outfits and settings in the Joseon Era were fantastic, but the vampire angle was a little overplayed perhaps, but at the time it was made perhaps that made more sense. I think the biggest stumbling block to the series is the main protagonist (who I actually like a lot as an actor in Hotel Del Luna).

He does his part well, but his character is REALLY hard to like at times (in both the past and present). Some of the things he says to Seol-Hyun Kim (and others) is just jaw droppingly rude and it was difficult to understand why she had any interest in him at all at points.

Still worth seeing though and is an entertaining diversion for sure.

Honestly. I read the story many times now and they missed alot of great parts. And they also took out many of the OG good characters. I firmly do no believe they deserve the rights to the name "Orange Marmalade". If this was to be its own series with its own name I would have been fine with it. Sure it would remind me of the reading material but I would not have been upset as much as I am now.

It's pure cheese but I love it. It has a good story; fantasy, comedy and it's fun. What's not to like 😊

This was my very first K-drama! I first read the Orange Marmalade series on Webtoon and loved it! When I found out this existed I was super excited but it turns out that it's not really like the Webtoon (especially the second part!) BUT it was still really good, well casted and a good story as long as you keep in mind that it isn't a whole lot like the Webtoon.
