This seems like a (VERY) loosely adapted version of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, which is alluded to (a bit of foreshadowing really, as it hadn't yet become obvious), early in the episode where Kant and his brother are actually reading the Shakespeare version! 😂

So far I am loving this series! ❤️

What the Hell kind of an ending was that? These dramas always treat the men like accessories. We got to see the FL winning the Jewellry Exhibition and gaining the top dog position at the Jewellery Guild. We got to see her being gracious and handing it off to someone else. The women always get graceful endings in these series. Good for them. But what in the world happened to Yan Zijing? I'm assuming he died, because she looked like someone had stolen her favourite puppy throughout the entire last scene. But did he stay with her as she requested? Or did he go away to die alone? There were only a few days between the last scene between them and the exhibition (Yan Zijing said so himself in that very scene). So why couldn't they tell us what happened to him? Men are always either after thoughts or just straight up useless in these series. I wonder why I keep watching them...😠

'...It is the duo's interaction that will restore balance to each universe.'

This actually clarified a great deal for me, and helped the ending make a bit more sense... to me, at least. I'm not good with supernatural dramas, because so much has to be explained and deduced... nothing is made completely clear. I find it frustrating to have to do homework whilst trying to enjoy a simple drama, BL or any other.

Your review is on the mark, however. And if I hadn't just now completed the final episode, it definitely would have moved me to be curious enough to watch this drama series.

I finally finished watching this! Ceong-ah drove me crazy with her incessant guilt trips and allowing herself to be verbally and even physically abused by anyone and everyone who came across her path. Jun-hwi was inconsistent with his self-righteous silliness but then refusal to even demonstrate the slightest human emotion. Judge Hong was obviously the one who set everything in motion with that dreadful decision she made, and yet she was always portrayed as upright and righteous to the world. She drive me nuts right up until the second to the last episode. And Chairwoman Hong... don't even get me started with her... Secretary Mun...I just can't... seriously...I don't like that no one actually got any justice for their evil deeds, and that the only one who received any punishment at all was one of the two biggest victims in the entire series. The greatest perpetrators of the worst crimes just got off scott free! It makes no sense to me. But I enjoyed the drama nevertheless. I don't know why, but I truly did. I only watched it for Kim Jae Young, and he did not disappoint me at all. His character annoyed me, but his acting never did. I'm off now to watch another drama series that features him! 😊

I've just finished episode 10 and I have to say that I am very disappointed with the way this drama series is doing the same thing every single other one does... victimisation of the perpetrator and blaming of the victim. Everyone is so sad for this girl who lost her brother, and I get it, I do. But why are we forgetting the fact that he wouldn't have died if he hadn't carjacked and robbed Louis in the first place? He committed a vicious crime, for which he paid the ultimate price. But this isn't Louis' fault. There is only one real victim here, and that's Louis. I don't get why the writers of these stupid drama scripts never portray that. This happens in every single drama I've ever watched and I will never understand it.

I've just finished watching episode 1 and, as a New Yorker, I am rather annoyed with the way they portrayed my city and it's African American residents. Asians get all upset when Hollywood stereotypes them, but this production decides to go on an incredibly racist bent with it's portrayal of African American men. I know the Japanese are notoriously racist against black people (many of whom are none too fond of Asians of any stripe either, so, there's that I guess). But this kind of perpetuation of racial stereotypes is really tiresome and very 1980's. I see that while Hollywood makes efforts to mature and grow, Asians apparently just don't see the need to follow suit. This is disappointing. I really hope that one day they will grow out of this childish stupidity for once and for all. It really makes Asians in general, and the Japanese in this particular case, look very ignorant and provincial.

That actually makes perfect sense now...thanks for the clarification! 🙂

That actually makes perfect sense now.. thanks for the clarification! ☺️

That should have said I see that the main lead is 31 years old and so a bit long in the tooth for this kind of role...

I see that the main leas is actually 31 years old, and do quite a bit long in the tooth for this kind of role, but they really could have done a better make-up job on him...just saying...😏

Anyway! Great first two episodes... can't wait to see the next ones! 😊

Gao Tian Yang is the MVP of the series so far as far as I'm concerned! 😁

Nicely said! (Or written, rather...😉☺️)

People seem to prefer watching it on YouTube, so here is the link for that: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvphMguuzeoOhsc43CTlLKjpSKWBrbAAs&si=ScfES3tGZFLO8uDM

It did get somewhat better as time went by, and so, yes, I did finish it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. I'll be honest with you...I finished it less than a month ago, and I can't remember a thing about it! So that should give you a general idea. Great way to waste time if you've got it, but it won't leave an indelible mark on your psyche. Hope that helps.

I am so glad that I don't read manga...I get to enjoy a funny and delightful piece of work like this for it's merits, with nothing to compare it to. I am always confounded by people who say 'I did/didn't like it because it did/didn't conformto the manga'...why not just like or dislike something for what it is? I'm American, so I'm accustomed to Hollywood always completely destroying original works. So when I read The Lord of the Rings trilogy in high school, and then watched the films 20 years ago, I need I would be dealing with two completely different entities. For some reason live action creators just refuse to respect the original creations from which they are supposedly adapting. Someone always has to feel like he (or she) knows better than the person who created the damned thing...🤣 So I don't set myself up for disappointment and never bother reading mangas. I'm positively delighted with this series. I have laughed so hard through every single episode (I'm not done yet, so if there are any sad episodes up ahead, don't spoil it for me! 😉) What great fun! 😊

Oh! Makes sense...my apologies, I misunderstood you. Yes, it seems a bit odd that they would adapt a European author's work...I'm not familiar with any other time this has been done.

If you mean Faust by Goethe, then yes. It states it in the synopsis that it is indeed adapted from Goethe's work, Faust.

I've just finished watching episode 2 and I have to say that Boon Cheon is my favourite character so far. All of his interactions with Pil Joo are hilarious! 😂 I don't know why I always love these types of characters. He reminds me of Soo Cheol in Queen of Tears...I'm definitely loving this drama so far and shall commence watching episode 3 now! 😊

I've only finished the first episode and, honestly don't yet see what the hype is all about. Another tropey angelic poor boy with a heart of gold, another tropey corrupt chaebol family, another tropey spoilt rude heiress with zero social skills (I actually just finished watching Queen of Tears, so this is way too familiar territory for me), whose antics and attitude are just way too over the top. I suppose it's meant to be humourous or at the very least amusing. I'm only supposing, because I didn't find any of it either of those two things. But that's obviously just me, since everyone else seems to be raving about this drama. So I will try episode 2 and see if, by some miracle, things improve and this thing becomes at least mildly watchable. I don't ask for much.

The tags Interspecies Romance and Supernatural should have given you a hint that this wasn't going to be a 16 episode series about the Baby Jesus...just saying...😏

I've just finished watching episode 27 and I am literally devastated! I did not see that coming...I am heartbroken right now. 💔😭
