Fun
A fun watch and it's always a blast to see mermaids taken seriously in media. That being said the story itself feels weak at times and I almost feel it was more of an acting problem than the story itself. The ML and FL didn't seem to have much chemistry to me. I love a good past lifes reincarnation story-- it's one of my favorite tropes ever. This one reuses the same scenes A LOT. Gets a little annoying.I honestly liked the scenes from the past more than the actual story playing out which is a pretty weird take for me to come away with I think lol.

Really Good But Not The Best
Certainly deserved my watch as it hits a LOT of the major tropes that I love-- supernatural, folklore, romance, grim reapers, destiny, etc+That being said, compared to others in the same genre, I don't think it comes out on top as much as some others seem to think.
I know this is in a lot of peoples all time favs, I had a few issues with it. Still great though. Watchable alone for the relationship between the ML and Grim Reaper. They were fantastic acting along side each other. Would watch again only for them. Would watch a whole spin off of only them.
FL is a little too good at playing a bratty teenager to the point she becomes unlikable for a large portion of the show. The age difference (of the characters) as well reads a little strangely no matter how you look at it.
Acting strength was bang on for this show though. Everyone was great. And I give it major credit where credit is due that the last minute plot twist took me hard off guard.

Literally what were they even trying to do here lol
Batshit insane in every regard. Many plot lines led literally no where. It was an okay watch purely on the "eh that was fun" scale but literally???? What??? Were they thinking???? Suho did a really good job for an idol honestly and had the best and most fleshed out plot hook. Tone shift between first and second half was wild. Also literally why tf did she bite to SK in the last ep??????Speaking of dropped plot points the running hair loss joke from the first like 5 eps is literally never mentioned again. Same with the shamans kid???? Those two things pissed me off... but there were plenty of other times this sort of thing happened as well.
Whole lotta nothing.
Also like--- I would count this as a rare example of the second lead winning the girl. The ML gets ZERO romance allusion until the last like 10 mins of the whole show and frankly I would've never forgave him for what he did. Second lead quire literally had her heart till the end (his end ope).
