  • In the webtoon, Shin Woo Yeo is said to have been born in the 12th year of King Ye Jong in the Goryeo Dynasty. This means that Shin Woo Yeo's age is 900 years. Meanwhile, Lee Dam is a 24-year-old student born in 1994

  • In the drama, Shin Woo Yeo's age becomes 999 years old; and Lee Dam is 22 years old. This age difference not only leads to the scene where Lee Dam shows respect by prostrating himself at the first meeting. But it adds to the tension because Shin Woo Yeo only has 1 year before turning into a human

2. Lee Dam's Friendship

All three were born in the year of the Rooster, which according to Shin Woo Yeo should be avoided from physical touch if Lee Dam doesn't want to get sick

  • In the play this part is changed. Lee Dam's friendship becomes Do Jae Jin and Choi Soo Kyung (Park Kyung Hye). They were born in the same year so Lee Dam doesn't have to avoid it.

  • On the other hand, Lee Dam had to avoid Gye Sunwoo because he was born in a different year. In the webtoon version, Lee Dam is told to avoid Gye Sunwoo because he is considered scary.
