This is my first wattpad novel and fell in love with it instantly. The story plot is a bit different though. Zion was shown in the later part of the story as well as the Japanese clients and all. There seems to be twist and turn in the story to make it a series. I was so excited to see it adapted the way it was written by the author. Not as expected but never mind. All the best to the team

[@Lunafreya_Nox]

Bruhh u compare a High school love story of wattpad adoptatiomt by some Ph here than this Type of matured wattpad ofc it's very different what do u expect.. But sadly this is poor cheap adaptation no one comes to original, they make it cheap.. Coz over imagined this as very American type of production not cheap.

[@sanelisiwemiya3154]

Honestly I think we need to accept that book adaptations will never be as good as the books. Bare in mind the fact that even our imagination while reading are different from that of the authors and the other readers,that's just one thing.However acting and portraying a character is a whole different challenge.Some scenarios may only be good in books so don't critic other people's hardwork or compare.Enjoy this or stick to your imagination.

Jade was supposed to live with her mom and her sister. and why is Eros like that? he’s not intimidating enough and he seems more like a spoiled child instead of this strict intelligent man. oh yeah and what happened to Jade’s glasses?
