Additional Info.
"The Delivery Driver garnered significant popularity for its intriguing world-building, well-crafted storyline, and intense action sequences. However, both the original webtoon and the drama adaptation have been polarizing, with audiences expressing strongly divided opinions.
In the drama, elements such as its novel premise and immersive direction are praised as positives. However, the fast-paced and radical plot development has been cited as a major reason for dislike. One notable change that confused fans was the alteration of the original webtoon's female protagonist, Sawol, who was reimagined as a male supporting character in the drama.
Additionally, while the webtoon depicted multiple courier companies, including Daehan Express, the drama consolidated this into a single entity, Cheonmyeong Courier. This change further amplified the drama’s more intense and radical narrative direction, leading to mixed reactions among viewers."
