Quirky gumiho fantasy that dives into life philosophy, psychology and romance in a fun way.
This drama explores the philosophical questions and debates that we, as humans, have been having about since centuries.
1) Materialism vs Idealism
2) Immortality vs mortality
3) Ego vs Superego
4) Karma vs Fate
5) Is being ignorant and blissful better than suffering the consequences of discovering the truth?
6) Can money buy everything?
7) What is the true meaning of success?
8) What is love?
9) "Et tu, Brute?"
Seems very serious and deep right? Except its NOT because the writer has masterfully talked about it in the most light hearted way possible through this mythological modern fantasy. 😁
PLOT - A wish granting gumiho decides to live an immortal life of materialism catering to her and her only 💅. Her self absorbed self meets a young man with will of steel who believes in himself and himself only💅. What can you offer to someone who doesn't seek? This encounter leads to an interesting twist in their life. Opposite attract? No! This is "diamond cuts diamond"⚔️. Will these two self centered individuals see beyond themselves? Who will win the battle of wits? Can love triumph self obsession? Will our philosophical questions be answered? What is the meaning of life? Tune in to learn about the characters, the human world and yourself. 🤓☝️
Pros -
I was shocked as to how much thought has gone into some of the underlying themes here. I think the writer had an amazing vision for the drama but couldn't line it up well
Cons-
1) This is probably the first time when I found that story was actually pretty nice but EDITING AND ACTING HAS WEAKENED IT. This drama would have suited 15-episodes format more instead of the 12 that it has. Netflix has ruined the natural pace of many kdramas and it is one of them.
2) I found the MALE LEAD to be lacking in screen presence and the female lead has a very high pitched voice which makes her seem irritating at times. You don't feel anything when you see the ML on screen which is quite surprising considering the fact that he is a handsome man.
The director can also be blamed here as the gumiho doesn't have any mystical or magnetic aura around her.
This drama could have become better if these things were fixed. However, its still watchable ...and an easy 7.5 /10 for me.
