I'm a huge fan of the manhwa. The first time I read it, I literally couldn't go to sleep until I caught up which was pretty deep into the story. I think it's probably one of the best manhwa/manga/comic ever.
The anime is just not doing it justice so far though. People who are watching this for the first time who haven't read it are going to get such a worse experience mostly due to the pacing.
The first episode made it seem like such a cliche Shonen type of story and I think it's mostly due to the pacing. The manhwa has JJK levels of pacing while the anime is almost one piece level in comparison.
The first 2 episodes, or at least the scenes involving Sung should've easily been 1 episode. It would've concluded that small fight and got people hooked.
Also, the drama. Obviously when reading it you almost create your own tension but man it's a whole different world with the anime. The music playing during the fight completely throws it off. In the comic the statue room is extremely tense but in the anime it just plays out like a standard anime.
Hopefully this gets better but right now I highly advise anyone to read it instead. It is worlds better.

The show is really good. The Last of Us is probably one of the best games ever made in my opinion and this is probably the best live action video game adaptation I've seen in a long time, maybe even ever since the bar is set so low for any live action video game series or movie.
The show stays true to the game and I love it.
The biggest and only real issue I found is the casting. After everything that HBO did with Velma, it's hard not to cringe at every white character switching race here. If Velma hadn't just released and been the way it is, I probably wouldn't even mind, but now it just seems like pandering and forced inclusivity to the next level.
Also, Ellie isn't bad but it just seems like they were going a bit over the top it's some of her dialogue..

Best book and now best movie. Been waiting years for this movie and not disappointed. There were a couple changes that are a little odd but that's the same with every book adaptation. Mostly everything was the same and god damn was this the most visually stunning movie I've ever seen.
