Hilarious In First Half, Lost In Second Half
Final verdict 7/10.This show compiled is 5 hours and 20 minutes long and yet it feels RUSHED, especially at the end where they kept throwing stuff at you in a blink and you miss something major happening way. A bunch of things happen off screen (I assume, maybe I blinked 🤣 ) near the end as well as they jump from one plot change to another.
The overall story they are TRYING to tell isn't bad, it's actually pretty good, the issue comes that there is no sense of world building or what the rules of the world are so you feel lost.
The villians.... existed. They were part of that whole "this could have been better more fleshed out" feeling as we get 3 of them in the show. The 1st and "main" one I feel like they "tried" to give us a story but I have no idea what it was other than wanting to live forever and not forget anything, I "think"? His disciple... Idk what his story was or why he didn't die when he was supposed to, maybe he did and I blinked? The last and 3rd one, the masked person, made the "most" sense but also was severely glossed over on how they were able to get away with the things they got away with 🤣.
The 2nd couple was adorable. Again, I didn't 100% understand everything with them at the end but they were still a really good side couple that was surprising fleshed out for how few scenes they had being 2nd and all.
Our main couple though.... 🤣 They were 100% where it was at during the 1st half of the show. Rolling on the floor laughing antics during one of the storylines. And a couple scenes to make you blush during that time too 🤣
Later though their story kinda goes off the rails and you start talking to the screen about things like "just write a diary!" and "where's that journal?" and "seriously???? You're just going to stand there and not at least try and run?"
For a full and complete breakdown of rating the show...
7/10 - eps 1-3
10/10 - eps 4-12
8/10 - eps 13-18(eps 14 6/10 for editing confusion)
5/10 - eps 19-25

It was fun!
First half of the drama was soooo fun. I smile and giggle like an idiot, shrieking happily at 1 AM in the morning, kicking my feet, and super focused on the story. The plot is interesting and pretty refreshing. I love the whole ‘need-to-feed-a-dangerous-cold-guy-something-that-he-doesn’t-want-to-drink’ thing. aaaa it’s so cute. And, oh my god, the second couple. I cried because of them. That’s all I have to say about it.Now. I don’t know why, I really don’t like the second half of the drama. I think it’s because of the focus change? The focus becomes about the villain and I personally think the villains in this drama is a bit… odd. I don’t know. It’s giving ‘lacking’.
On the second half of the drama is also where I started to realize how useless the FL was to the point that it was exhausting (and annoying) to watch her😅. I may be wrong, but I notice that even from the first episode, she hasn’t done anything satisfying. She kept getting in trouble so the ML has to save her EVERYTIME, she lets the villain guy go away (literally whyyy would you do that). I don’t know maybe I’m just being picky and annoying about it. Or maybe I watch too much dramas where the FL is a literal badass😬.
But aside from that, everything else is great. Sooo I’m giving a high score for this one.
