About main leads romance: I think what some viewers overlook is that Justizia is a century old demon who initially doesn't give a shit about anything (at least on first glance), so it makes sense that there wouldn't be sparks flying upon their first or second meeting. I read a comment that said something like: "He's not special, what did she even see in him, it doesn't makes sense that she fell in love with him, being a demon." That would be true for the beginning, but the more she becomes human, the more she adapts human notions, and as we all know, it doesn't take much to fall in love. He's constantly around, 'bothering' her, so what starts as a fun game for her, turns into interest, then into care and eventually into devotion from both sides. Well, I guess it doesn't hurt that he's super hot, considering she's all about appearances lol The production team was a bit stingy with kisses, so I am happy we got that beautiful unhurried kiss in the final episode...

Now to the things I think were a bit lacking:
- they made a huuuuuuuge deal about a demon becoming human at first. Veneto was supposed to kill traitors, they were expected a fate worse than death yadda yadda. But then all of a sudden, it's not such a big deal anymore? I thought that was a letdown, that they suddenly didn't discuss it anymore, despite her being madly in love with a human, giving up her life to protect him and the other victims. I get that she was saved by God, but it doesn't change the fact that she went back to being a humanized demon, and all her helping hands were, too.
- When she goes back to hell briefly, she should've returned to her own, Justizia's, face. As should have Satan when facing 'his son' from the get go. Defies all logic imo.
- When Fl and ML take a stroll and she tells him about Lucifers proposal, I feel like it's all way too detached. It's like she's taking advice on whether to get a haircut or not. This is a huge freaking decision, also for him. I didn't understand it in the first place, that ML so easily accepted the '3 years' that she offered him. I mean, even if it's someone you have feelings for, would you risk falling even more deeply in love over the course of three years, knowing you will never ever get to see them again afterwards? I wish they had given those conflicting emotions more meaning in the final episode...

All in all though, these were minor details compared to the big picture. It was a great drama.

I've been dropping dramas left and right, but for the first time in months, I binged this in four days. It's not perfect, but highly enjoyable due to the fantastic acting, the cinematography, occasional comedy. Contrary to many, I also loved the leads relationship, even though the chemistry is definitely different from your usual romantic drama. (more under a spoiler tag)
I was very surprised with the amount of violence and gore. I think it’s the most brutal kdrama I’ve seen so far, so take that into account if you’re faint hearted. Sometimes I felt like those violent scenes were dragging out too much, and the revenge became repetitive. It was somewhat satisfying, but at the same time too much. I actually hope, if they make a second season, that they will pursue those more psychological aspects, like how killing will affect Justizia who’s more and more becoming human. If she can feel love, she should also be able to feel guilt or to have nightmares. Just because you give out punishment for someone who rightfully deserves it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t leave a scar on you as well. I also would love to see more backstory of Justizia as a demon. Overall I am happy with the ending as well. A 9/10 from me, CGI and stuff wasn’t that great but it didn’t bother me. I mean, I grew up with Buffy, which had terrible CGI/monsters in the first couple of seasons, but it’s still one of my favorite shows.

The sad thing is, back in the day, a lot of dramas (especially historical ones) had 20 or even 24 episodes, and they were really entertaining and unpredictable. Of course not all, but there are so many good oldies, even upon rewatch. And when I watch a new drama nowadays they get boring at the halfway point. I wonder why that is?

Yeah, the story is different, but when I recall the first two episodes of HCCC the two leads also started off on the wrong foot, and FL made the town her enemy being stuckup and arrogant upon her arrival, just as ML here. I think there are some similarities, and I really hope this show doesn't disappoint, as HCCC is one of my all-time favorites :)

I didn't read any comments beforehand, so I went in with no expectations. It had me laugh out loud so many times. I think it could turn out to be a very charming drama. Don't want to compare it with Hometown CCC, but the small town vibes are there, and the two leads may be bullheaded, but I think they're both soft at heart. Hoping for a good run and so far I enjoy it immensely. Heavy on the comedy for sure!

Absolutely! I have taken to listening to the instrumental soundtrack when I want to have some peace and quiet, listening to the rain outside or watching the trees swaying in the wind through the windows. When the Weather is Fine in winter is, what Hometown Cha Cha Cha is to me in the summer haha Then I wish I could live in a small town among people like this...

I understand that it might be confusing or distracting for some, but I personally welcomed the flashbacks that explained so much that had happened. This drama is sort of like... the facade of a house with many different doors and windows. Each of them is different, some look ugly, some look pretty, some are tattered and scratched, and only if we open them up to get a glimpse of the room that lays behind, we may understand why that is. I am surprised that you think it's not a psychological drama, it did feel that way to me. At first glance, the three women in the family seem to be really unlikeable people that don't care much for each other. It's only after we learn what went on behind the scenes that we understand how they ended up that way, and same goes for ML, and some other characters in the show. I loved each and every second of it. But I definitely think you have to be in the mood for this kind of drama, sometimes you'll need something faster paced.

I agree 100 percent, it's such a gem, a favorite! I was somewhat shocked when I went from watching this to Marry My Husband. I barely recognized PMY. I liked her in Her Private Life, too, but since then she has just lost so much weight, I hope she is taking care of herself. She really shines in this drama, as you said, it's one of the most natural performances, and it speaks volumes how she turns the shadow that was cast over her, slowly into radiance.

I watch this drama once a year without fail. Usually when the days are getting longer and colder and I just want to curl up with a cup of hot tea or cocoa and comfort my soul. This year I watched it, yearning for spring. I cannot put into words how much I love this drama. It's like poetry itself. The atmosphere, the music, the acting... each frame and line seems carefully chosen to slowly melt our hearts that have been frozen from the long, lonely winter. It's heartbreaking at times, heart fluttering at others, most of all, it just conveys what it's like to be human. Nobody here is perfect, we all make mistakes, but it's in the little things and interactions, that show how we can grow and find people that care for us, if we just let them in. I am certain I will treasure this gem until I'm old and grey. It might not be for everyone, but if you enjoy slice-of-life, poetry, darkness that turns into light, then give this a shot! 9.5/10 from me, it's certainly in my top 10 favorites.

Thank you! I found it on Youtube, but it's missing two episodes, this is great!

Currently rewatching cause I needed something calm and fun. It's strange how this show can make me feel warm and fuzzy and then at the next moment bring my blood to a boil. That assistant Bang Eun Whatever can just rot in hell for all I care. She's one of the worst people I've ever seen in a drama, and it's hard to see Sam Dal just take it all, she should've stood up for herself, at least after clarifying what happened. She could've sued for defamation, plagiarism, even assault, but she did NOTHING and it really makes me so mad, because what it implies is that it's okay to get treated that way, to consequently just run away. It is NOT okay, and same goes for Yong Pil's father btw. I do feel sorry for him, I really do, but he's not the only one hurting and in mourning, and it just infuriates me how he will disregard anyone else's pain to justify his rage, even going so far as to taking his son's happiness away. Episode 7 broke my heart, my heart was literally ACHING for Yong Pil , so as his father, how could he just sit there while his son crumbles next to him, knowing very well that he himself was the cause?! 18 years sure is a long time to make someone's life miserable....

It's sort of both. It does mention/feature the main characters, but it's primarily a spin off about a side character (handsome police officer) and his first love. I don't really get why they made it. It's cute, but I'd watch until ep 16, then take a break to get the 'drama is over' feeling and then watch ep 17 as a bonus when you miss the drama :)

I was sooo excited about this, and waited until it almost finished airing to start it. First episode was rocky but really engaging and I was expecting a new masterpiece in the making, something different from what we usually get in dramaland. But 4 episodes in and I'm dropping because it's like... really nonsensical. I don't really care for any of the characters, or better said, their struggles up there, because there are too many people involved from the start and the focus is all off. The past of ML and his fiance was more interesting than the entire rest of the drama. There are weird sequences that are of no relevance to the show (like a full minute or so of the twins dreaming about what to do if they win the lottery, which, newsflash, the ticket isn't even theirs). ML is acting like a complete tool 99% of the time, and it makes literally no sense he would risk his life several times in just the first couple of episodes for an IVF experiment that has maybe a 1% chance of working out, PLUS going on a suicide mission for a woman he has known all of a week or so. He has no experience as an astronaut, quite possibly would endanger the mission first when forcing a FIRE ALARM on a space station while everyone's working their butts off to repair the solar penals, and then going out on a SPACE WALK without having ANY idea or plan or even common sense. I have no desire at all to continue watching this, also with all the cheating and betrayal that's about to happen. Disappointment of the year for sure.

It's one of my favorites, it's got suspense, romance, comedy, beautiful cinematography, great music and most importantly: well written and fantastic acting. Some really deep topics as well. Hope you enjoy the rest of the ride!

Which is tragic, While you were sleeping is soooooooooo much better than this :(

I was in the mood for something light and funny that I could watch while sewing. Good stuff I watch with my entire focus on the show, but this is just right for background noise, especially as a rewatch. Unfortunately my stance remains that it's just really not that great. From the get go, both leads are getting on my nerves, FL for being extremely gullible and ML for being a bully. The whole premise just doesn't make sense, I get that it's comedy and a drama, but please keep a dose of realism. 1. It was insanely dumb of her to sign a contract under blackmail that would have her pay 100 times the fee as penalty. He threatened her, but what he did was plain stalking. Showing up at her house unannounced, despite her repeatedly telling him she didn't want to do the contract relationship, calling her at 4 AM in the morning, forcing her to meet him whenever he pleased... She didn't have to give in to his ridiculous demands had she reasoned with that in mind. Also, she could have just told him she had a boyfriend who wouldn't be amused about her fake-dating another guy, that would've been enough to get her out of it. Everything here is so forced. How would he/they not recognize her, even if she has a different hairstyle and less makeup, she is OBVIOUSLY the same person. Whenever she tries to not get discovered, her weird antics draw even more attention. It's like she has no common sense, all the 'problems' around the ordeal are made by her stupid choices.And again, yes I do understand it's comedy, but it starts getting bland after using the same trope and joke over an dover again. I love the cast, but the script is sorta meh. 6.5 from me.

Agree 100 percent. I was so mad the entire time and I don't think they resolved the issue of gaslighting and abandonment and 'living for the parents/family' well. It made me change my rating for the drama while I enjoyed the first half of the show.

WTH, who changed the synopsis and why?!! It's like the biggest spoiler ever, it's basically retelling the biggest 'plot twist' in the series and summarizes the second half of the story lol I dunnot how to report this, but someone please change it back to a more generic summary that actually leaves some kind of suspense for the viewer.

Ah yeah sure, sorry about that. Everyone who watched the trailer would've known about the time skip, so I don't actually think it is a spoiler? But I've added the spoiler tag.

It's true that she had that picture, but as you said, it's impossible to tell much from it, perhaps you could narrow it down to a guy between 20 and 50, but that's about it. But she told Bong Su that she had had a crush on the guy even before she got that picture, just from the mere rumor of how amazing he was. And think about it, the way he approached her from the beginning was quite creepy and unsettling, he cornered her in the bathroom, took a nail clipping and had her in a strong hold, breathing down her neck. As viewers the way it was filmed, because we knew it was Ji Chang Wook, who's super handsome and we know Healer is a decent guy, we would think 'oh my, what a scene'. But if I imagine myself to be in her shoes, it's actually frightening as hell. Any way, regardless of whether she knew his age or whatever, I still think it's ridiculous to get them into some kind of relationship where she hasn't seen him or talked to him properly.
