"The show is not a direct live-action adaptation of the original manga, but rather a spin-off that builds on the basic setting and world of the original, introducing new stories and characters.
Hitoshi Iwaki, the creator of the original manga Parasyte, expressed his excitement upon hearing that it would be adapted into a Korean drama. He mentioned that while the original manga feels like his child, the live-action adaptation feels like his grandchild. He is particularly excited that the story is set in a new location and country. Additionally, he praised the drama for being very respectful of the source material and shared that he enjoyed watching it."
