Entertaining Start and then just…I Couldn’t Finish it bc it became too Sad and Frustrating.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first ~20 episodes even if there were times when the writing and magic aspects of the show seemed too convenient to the story’s development (like the scene about the marraige rock).
After the first ~20 episodes tho…the plot and characters make annoying decisions. I can even see where the writers mindsets could’ve been at when they wrote the following episodes but damn…it was so freaking frustrating to watch.
Then don’t even get me started on the revealment about Ji Bozai’s past. Guys…I love plots with tragic events and characters who overcome them but I just can’t with his life. I don’t know why they had to make this man suffer so so so much. I actually feel so bad for him that I can’t even bring myself to finish the show bc I just can’t stand to see how this perfectly innocent and most unlucky charcacter is still being dragged to deeper depths of despair. I have never dropped a show bc I felt too bad for a lead charcacter but yet here I am and it’s finally happened.
So yeah, thoroughly enjoyed the first half even with its flaws but I just can’t with the episodes after that. The combination of annoying choices and Ji Bozai’s past reveal is just too much.
First ~20 episodes, I’d rate as at least a solid 8/10.
The rest that I’ve seen…I honestly skipped so much just because I couldn’t stand what the leads were doing and then I dropped the show not long after the male leads past revelation. I’d give those episodes like a…2/10 (probably lower tbh) because it’s episodes of pure annoyance followed by despair for seeing a good guy, who despite a hellish past and managed to be a great person, be beaten down somehow even further as if his past wasnt already as bad as it could’ve been.
Dude…his character is SO hard to watch if you’re like me and get emotionally tied to characters.
I’m leaving a rewatch value of 1/10 bc it has to be between 1-10 according to the app but I’m probably never rewatching anything past the enjoyable episodes bc wow I’m already feeling so bad for him just thinking about it.
