Content Comparison
Adaptations is for K-drama and C-drama watchers and readers of the novels, web novels, manhwa, webtoons, manga, and other source works those dramas come from. It compares not which version is better, but how alike and different the two tellings are: what stayed, what changed, and what was added, removed, merged, split, expanded, condensed, reordered, or reworked.
It also asks one of the most useful source-to-screen questions: what does each version give you that the other does not?
One canonical comparison
Each Adaptation is researched once and stored as one canonical set of source facts, comparison records, evidence, and optional source-to-screen mappings. Records are reviewed individually before they are treated as accepted comparison data. The public app then presents that same reviewed material in different ways instead of generating separate summaries for each kind of reader.
The default view is Content Comparison. Optional reader lenses can emphasize the parts most relevant to someone who watched the drama, knows the source, or is new to both. They are filters and presentation choices, not separate datasets.
What can be compared
Comparison records can cover story, characters, relationships, events, world and setting, themes, structure, tone, and endings. Each record keeps the source side and screen side together, along with the kind of change, likeness, significance, spoiler information, evidence, and review confidence.
Spoilers stay under the reader's control
When spoiler protection is active, the page shows how many comparison points are currently visible out of the full reviewed set—for example 3 / 4. A drama watcher can expose screen-only spoilers while source spoilers remain protected; a source reader can do the reverse. Show Spoilers reveals the complete reviewed comparison.
The source remains its own work
Source title, creator, language, publication information, translation information when available, synopsis, and verification state are kept as factual source reference data. They are not duplicated into invented Source Experience or Screen Experience essays.
Corrections are part of the review cycle
Readers can use Report Correction from an Adaptation page when something needs to be checked. The report can be sent into the Adaptations review workflow so the affected project can be researched, corrected, and reviewed again rather than silently overwritten.
Completion means reviewed, not merely long
The Adaptations Library prioritizes projects that have been reprocessed and reviewed. Completion reflects the state of the canonical research and review work—not the number of comparison records a project happens to contain.
