Film adaptation

[edit]

In November 2008, Love Story was adapted into a feature-length film titled Hello, Schoolgirl. Directed by Ryu Jang-ha, the film deviates a lot from its source material but keeps the webtoon's primary themes intact. The film was a financial success on release, topping the box office on its first weekend.[1]
