Jung So Min's performance touched my heart
vgqqrrw19 January 2024
I wasn't a fan of Jung So Min before. But Jung So Min's acting touches my heart every time she appears. Her acting charm is so great. I was able to watch all 20 episodes of this drama, which is very long for me. But I'm not bored every minute that she appears. She is a colorful character and makes the drama more worth watching. Even though the script is good But if the actor doesn't convey it well I probably don't want to watch it. It's a shame that the ending for this character was so sad. But it's okay now I like her acting. I will definitely continue to follow Jung So Min's new work. I thank the actors and those who helped create this drama.

What just happened?!?

Warning: Spoilers
For this last episode we had almost an hour and half to bring resolution to all of the romantic buildup and evil-doing, but someone messed it all up. I don't know how they could end the season like that and think it's ok. Not only did we not get closure on our heartfelt emotion with Mu-Deok/Naksu, but she isn't set to return for season 2. It appears we're getting a new female lead. Lemme guess, Jang Uk will be sad and the new lead will try to woo him without revealing who she is, but then they'll play on the mystery of it all season long like they did with Seo Yul?.?. I'm not as excited for the new season coming in December after that finale disaster.

Ridiculous & Disappointing
glenbz28 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Bitterly disappointing in the ending. The word that our star actress So-min will not be returning in Part Two shows the ineptitude of the plot and writers. So-Min had perfect acting chemistry as the female protagonist. The new female replacement is flat and insipid in her acting. Obviously, the "divine powers" of Bu-Yeon weren't powerful enough to keep her body. The writer just had to shift to the vain side of society by replacing her with the insipid beauty queen. By not working out the means in which to keep Mu-deok alive in her body is a reversal in the "magic" the writers would have you believe. Keep your new beauty queen. Will not be viewing Season Two. It was great until you blew So-Min out of the entire picture. Two thumbs down.

It was good but I gave it a 7 star because of the ending.

The ending just makes me not to want to watch Kdrama anymore. I had my hopes and expectations for this drama to think there are rumors that the female lead will be change in season 2. Like I don't even want to think about it because it's upsetting. It's super rushed to the fact it has ridiculous impact to the drama in a negative way. I can't believe I went over all the 19 episodes for that shabby ending. It's a pity. I have been a Kdrama fan since my high school years and I can classify this drama under dramas I can easily forget due to it's rushed ending. It has amazing plot however it's like having a closer look of your crush and realized he is not really attractive as time pass by. Especially with the last 2 episodes, it's not very satisfying for me and yes, it's barely good.

I'am still dreaming ?

Can't believe they turned the show in a completely Desaster.

I thought after the drunk part she felt into a dream and yes I felt entirely Reliefe after she stabbed him that was the point where I thought now she must wake up !

But nothing happens and I was totally lost in confusion and asked me are they serious ?

I mean how it is possible to ruin it so badly. I watched 19 episodes the story telling was well paced and entertaining sure it have some flaw's before but I liked it but the last episode was a shame.

I'am instantly started season 2 ( i was curious) and after some Matrix 2 experience with a Neo clone and a new main actress pops up ...my thumb hit the finish button...I'am out .
