I haven't watched GOT before, but I am guessing they kind of adapted it as I could feel the vibes. Still, I would praise this show a lot as the show is purely Korean and the cinematography is awesome. As an Asian myself, this is the kind of show I can enjoy with my family without sitting through steamy kissing scenes. It has so many unpredictable events so the show keeps you wanting for more! I love it and am waiting patiently for season 2!!!
