loved it from start to finish. Although ep 11 has issues with the flow of the story, I was worried it would persist in ep 12, but they wrapped up pretty well in the last episode. In all honesty, I didn't expect it to turn out this amazing. For me, it does have quite high rewatch value, so it's 10/10.

you are not alone on this. it's rare for me too to lose interest in a drama.

After giving ep 11 a second watch, I can understand it much better, but again, the flow in this episode is broken and multiple time jumps are not edited smoothly. Clearly see how writers are trying to combine a lot of things in ep 11, I guess that's how ep 12 is also going to be.

Also, I’m not Chinese. I’m just a curious person who nerds a lot about folktales from other countries. And, one of my favorite video essays on this topic is done by TED-Ed.

It's actually "Gyeonuwa Seonnyeo," translating to Gyeon u's fairy or Gyeon woo with fairy. However, Google Translate says it's "The Cowherd and the fairy," but it still makes more sense than "Head over Heels."

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong; the story I know is that they do not reunite, but the mother goddess of the Jade Palace allows the weaver (fairy) to meet her husband once a year through a magical bridge formed by magpies. That's when Chinese people celebrate Qixi Festival (also known as Chinese Valentine's Day).

What is going on in the current episode? Please, someone who has read the webtoon, help. Additionally, the flow of the story in this episode felt disjointed; the editing is not smooth in this one. Also, God Yeomhwa has finally done it; who are you kidding, you're going to kill the evil deity now. What a f**king hypocrite. She destroyed everything and still hasn’t achieved anything. The story is everywhere. The drama needed to have 16 episodes rather than 12, and if it had been 12, the writer should have revised or edited the webtoon version more effectively.

just saw small snippet of upcoming episode

I also gather that she wanted to bring back her child or at least her child’s spirit, that’s why she started to pray to evil spirits, but instead got cursed, and the curse also affected her child's spirit. It never left him/her to go away but rather tied down with a cursed yeomhwa.

It's like i know enough of her just be done with her

Yes, like one episode with them (Seong A and Gyeon U). Also, I agree with you that it is not cute or romantic. How come bong su action is any different than a person who goes after someone else’s girl? How is that romantic?

yes to trick her and us believing he was gyeon u not bong su

I think he said the word Koreans say when they ask people to eat.
So yes, he can devoured him, but again, he might be somewhere locked inside.

Also, are we forgetting he actually did devour (consume) 99 souls before waking up and leaving the abandoned home? And Gyeon u picture was thrown by Yeomhwa asking him to consume this one as his last meal so that he would become a patron deity.

Similarly, like she has done with Gyeonu since childhood, she made the thought that he is ill-fated to take home in his mind.

Same god, he is so good at getting into different mannerisms. I wish he would go big in the kentertainment industry.

Finally, someone with the right perspective. I love bong su. He is a mood, but he is a ghost, and he has taken over and devoured a living person who should be alive and live his life to the fullest. Even if Bong su gets a different body to live with the trio, I don’t want that. I want him to pass on.

It happy end they had kid and all

In all honesty, I think you should finish this. Dropping it right when things are getting intense or interesting is weird, but again, if you don't like it, you don't like it. As a binge watcher watching drama one episode at a time, I have learnt how much I enjoy drama in one go because even one episode is filler or drag I can continue to the next, but you can't do that when it's dropping one episode a day, so it does seem like it’s boring and not worth it, but till the end, this drama is good, especially the ending and addressing of the real (novel) Sun Chaek in the real world. They didn’t leave that as a plothole.

I love how they tackle both the Sun Chaek story.
Here are a few subtle things I've noticed.
"The real Sun Chaek is actually not living the exact life our FL Sun Chaek was living (and vice versa). "

1. She asked for a different world because she wanted to break free from all the social norms and restrictions she felt living with her family in that period; that’s why she said, “Hearing this, you feel like ‘a brat kid of a rich house is whining’ to the shaman.”

But when we see the real Sun Chaek as kim mo eun in the 2024-2025 timeline, she has very different living conditions than at the beginning of the drama. She is accepting the new world and has found new friends.
Her changed room and color tone suggest that even though we didn’t see what happened during the 2024-2025 timeline, it appears that she has also altered the situation there. Hence, she is enjoying her new life.

2. That’s the same case with FL Sun Chaek. When she came to the novel, she didn’t behave like the real Sun Chaek.

She transformed a tea party into a cocktail party, stayed out for the night, and then went beyond the social norms and restrictions of that era. Show PDA with a male who is not her husband. That made the novel switch, and she became the main lead even when she didn't want to. She wasn't this active with her life in her timeline in the real world. She was just waiting for things to pass by.

Even in the novel, she did all those things cause she wanted to help Eun-he he whom she admired, reading novels. And in the beginning, she didn't become courageous all of a sudden. It happened gradually.

Good points to highlight. Also, I love how you pointed out how a lot of Cdrama has such things. That’s what makes me love Cdrama more in terms of Kdrama. Recently, I came across a lot of threads where people were like “I don't like Cdrama; they are unnecessarily long with so many episodes."
