Amazing Show with poor/bland ending!!
24 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This was probably my 25th Korean drama, loved the show throughout 16 episodes and would have easily given it 9, because the acting of lead actors was quite good, the background score was apt, loved every time Done For Me played. The flaws ? Two major ones for me. The romance/passion was completely missing between the leads characters, not because of the actors but because of poor writing. There were some moments and build ups, but it never really turned to it's potential, for a character who has been alive and lonely for 1000+ years, finally falls in love, but that love and passion was never really displayed on screen, and the other one knows that he's gonna lose his love forever pretty soon, yet somehow that doesn't really come up on screen. Again poor writing and not because of actors. Their chemistry portrayed was more like friends and not like lovers, and that was a real bummer.

Second major flaw. The ending. It's not much of an interesting end, if you're clearly told that this is what and how is suppose to happen to our leading lady in the very first episode and that is exactly how it goes down in the 16th episode. You expect some twists and turns, I don't mind a sad ending, that two lovers couldn't be together. But the end was really dull without a single turn of events in any way. And also very abrupt. The leading lady dies and the guy just packs his bags to leave for NY. That was extremely dull and abrupt.
