Enjoyed It A Lot But Felt Like It Could've Been Better.
First of all the acting was amazing. I loved it so much and the Male Lead protrayed longing so well. Plus he was so hot. I can't even explain it, I've seen him in other dramas but oh my god he just looked so good here. The Female Lead too. Like every five minutes I had to pause just to gush over how good they looked.But storywise. Started off right up my alley, I love this kind of story. The first, say, fifteen episodes had me in a complete chokehold. The chemistry, humor, and romance was off the charts. I loved that it was a slow burn...but it got...weird at the end. After the Male Lead confessed, I was sure we'd have episodes of cute romance to follow. Right? Wrong. They didn't kiss once. ONCE. While the supporting characters (which I love) get what? Two of them?
The end of the drama suffered. I enjoyed the story, I ate up the Female Lead with her powers the effects looked super good. But it feels like their relationship just kind of tapered off into nothing. Romance the first half and then plot in the second. I wish I'd seen them together, holding hands, kissing. They were just so cute together.
I wish they'd addressed other plot points too. In the very beginning they mentioned how the OG got posessed by a Fox spirit. A large part of me hoped it would happen again, or that they would bring it up again. They never did. The Female Lead's powers. I understand she began to forget each time she used them, but I wish they'd given her more of a role in the story. When everyone thought she was supposed to defeat the demon boss at the end, I wished they'd kept it that way.
Overall some of these things are just preferences, but this really could've been my favorite CDrama of all time if they'd kept the vibe of the first half. Looking forward for more works by the leads, hopefully even together.
