Actually the storyline itself is very long. The fantasy genre with many characters needs many episodes to feature. There was a rumour since last year, this drama will have 2 parts; because tvn dramas can not go more episodes than 20. So they had to make it second part. For different FL, it's a part of the storyline (I suppose), it will be clear in Part 1 finale.
So this is split into 2 parts. Part 1 has 10 epsiodes and Part 2 other 10. and the rumor is that JSM will be replaced…
Part 1 has 20 episodes. Part 2 has 10 episodes. I think these 2 parts have been planned since very beginning. The writers has their own plans with FL changing due to the story. So we still don't know how they will direct it. Please keep on watching.
I'm among those who couldn't get the second male lead with main female lead ship in this drama.To be honest in…
I trust Lee Jae Wook. If you watched his previous dramas before, you would know it. He always brings excellent chemistry with all the actresses he acted with.
GYJ will be back only in Part 2. Part 1 is with Jung So Min until the last episode of Part 1.
I understand you're only here for the actress. I recommend you to watch Part 1 until the end as well, because it will help you better understanding in Part 2 where your favorite actress is FL there.
