Are There Adaptations Of Madly In Love With My Ex-Fiance‘S Relative?

Yep — there are adaptations, and they come in a few distinct flavors depending on how you like to consume stories. The origin is the serialized web novel, which is where the full narrative and lots of the subtle inner thoughts live; that’s my go-to when I want the complete emotional context. The most common adaptation is the illustrated comic/manhwa version: it’s colored, episodic, and rearranges dialogue and pacing to fit visual storytelling, often amplifying romantic beats with art and panel direction. Beyond those, the fandom has produced voiced clips, short audio episodes, and compiled print editions in some regions, plus official translations that make both the novel and the comic accessible to non-native readers. There isn’t a major international live-action release that everyone can stream at this point, but the story’s popularity means that could change, so I keep an eye on fan forums for announcements — honestly, I’d love to see a well-cast live-action take someday.

Caught me off guard, but yes — there are multiple ways to experience 'Madly in Love with my Ex-Fiance's Relative' beyond just the original text.

I first dived into the story as a serialized web novel hosted on an online fiction site, and that’s the version that lays out the deepest internal monologues and slow-burn plotting. The prose version really sells the emotional beats because it can linger on the smaller moments: awkward breakfasts, the tiny revelations between characters, and the narrator’s private commentary. If you like slow-burn romance with a pinch of family drama and the occasional comedic misunderstanding, the novel is where the roots are. There are often fanmade compiled e-books and sometimes official paperback print runs in certain regions, so physical collectors do get lucky sometimes.

The more visible adaptation is the illustrated version — a colored comic/manhwa-style release that brings the characters to life visually. In the manhwa, expressions, backgrounds, and pacing are rearranged to fit the episodic, image-driven format: some internal scenes from the novel are shortened or represented visually, while other popular scenes get extended with splash panels and cinematic framing. Translators and official licensees have made it available in multiple languages, so you’ll find both official English releases and fan translations floating around. On top of that, the community has produced voiced comic clips and short audio readings that highlight certain dramatic chapters; they’re not full-blown radio dramas, but they’re great for getting a different vibe.

There hasn’t been a widely distributed live-action series or movie adaptation in most markets yet, at least not one with international availability, but the property’s popularity makes that a likely future step. For now, my recommendation is to pick the format that suits your mood: read the novel if you crave depth, follow the manhwa for the visuals and pacing, and check out fan audio clips if you want a quick, mood-driven taste. Personally, I adore how the manhwa’s art reframes a few of the scenes I couldn’t stop thinking about in the novel — it’s almost like finding a favorite song in a new remix.
