Decided to start keeping track of novels that were adapted to TV dramas!... more>>

Often I ended up watching the drama before reading the books, which in some cases is good, some other times is actually bad as the story is more fleshed out in the drama itself.

I’m not going to give a review of the novel and/or drama it’s been adapted to, but I’m going to give a score based on how similar is the drama to the novel (and viceversa) based on what I’ve read.
⭐️ = significant changes to the story and the characters  ⭐️⭐️ = some changes to the some events in the story and the characters but main story plot is maintained ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = both the story and the characters remain true to the novel

Unrated novels is because I either haven't read the novel or haven't watched the drama so wouldn't be able to provide an accurate analysis. <<less

Only BG, mostly historical, often revenge/rebirth sub-genre.

Please make sure you still support the original translator once new chapters are released. <<less
