Just started watching so I don’t know yet if this series is good or not. But I like the settings and really love the fact that all the “magical” (demons, guys who hunt demons, etc) characters have such a fancy hair/hair accessories (especially the demons), I don’t know, it just fits them really well!
Nooo I hate when supernatural characters lose their powers mid-series… I hope she gains them back! I want to see more of the cool, cold blooded Justitia beat up bad people and other demons 😅 And I hope they won’t have her trade her powers in exchange for something (like for staying with Da On on earth) later on too, that would be kinda… lame? Idk (I feel like that’s an a bit overused trope in kdramas where one lover is a supernatural being, why the human can’t have a cool, magical etc lover??)
by the way, while not totally original (as the general idea of guardian angels being secretly among humans is not only unique to this drama), I think revealing that granny as a sort of angel is a genius move, it really adds to the already rich lore of hell and heaven, demons (and angels apparently) that this drama is establishing.
The one thing that I am kinda angry about in this show, and that really irks me about Bit Na/Justitia’s character…
Also, I know that the issue kind of resolved on its own anyway, I just wanted to point out what irritated me, and let my thoughts/frustrations free so that I can enjoy the rest of the show. I really like this drama so far and I’m getting more invested in it with every episode. I like how they chose to interpret the whole hell and demon thing, I even like the romance part so far (saying this, because I often don’t). And Kim Jaeyoung does a great job at crying. Can’t wait till next week!
The one thing that I am kinda angry about in this show, and that really irks me about Bit Na/Justitia’s character is that she wouldn’t just explain things a bit to Da On when he accuses her for the murders/treats her like a person who committed the crimes (note that she isn’t in fact a person, just wearing a human’s “costume” as a punishment). She doesn’t seem to care about revealing other information about demons/hell to him (like about satan in episode 5? Or 4? I don’t remember) so why wouldn’t she just tell him something like “hey, I’m not killing these people just because. This is my job, I am a demon (which he already knows and believes) sent to punish the killers and bring their souls to hell. I too have a boss you know. And it's something beyond your human law, my judgment is final.” etc. It wouldn't have to be completely true, just true enough to explain why she does it, and altered enough to make it more relatable/understandable without disclosing, like her weaknesses etc. It’s not like she’d have to tell him that she’s doing that as a punishment (she doesn’t seem to want to share this information if she doesn't have to, and I understand), it’d be completely fine to just tell him a bit more clearly like this, why she’s doing that and why he "can’t" arrest her (because well, he actually can, technically. Human world, human rules, I guess?). It’s not like it would 100% change Da On’s approach to this situation, maybe he wouldn’t have changed at all. It’s just that I feel like she easily could have articulated it and it wouldn’t be bad for the plot at all. It’d feel real, more logical, because why wouldn’t she do that? Her, not trying to tame him somehow and just saying things like “shut up” or trying to lead their conversations elsewhere clearly doesn’t work anymore, and doesn’t help her cause. And it really irks me because it’s just about saying a few words out loud, and then it’d only depend on Da On, if he believes it or ignores it. The outcome doesn’t matter, the plot could/should go in the same direction as it does now. But it wouldn’t be a logical problem on Bit Na/Justitia’s end anymore. ….thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I can see where this story is going. I hope they don't change Justitia too much and make her a saint. This show…
Agreed! I love the sudden portion of violence this drama delivers while depicting her punishments, it creates a nice contrast with the either witty/humorous or more serious part of the drama. And her character is great so I hope that although she will experience emotion, she’ll stay as she is temperament-wise etc
to be honest, if daon was a female character, yall would have 1. find her annoying 2. ate her up 3. hated herjust…
agreed! I love the actor but honestly even now his character is a bit annoying, but that’s relevant/important for the story to move so I let that pass… but I completely agree with you, at the same time knowing that if he was a female character I’d be guilty of what you just described 😅
Maybe he is busy 😜 he is super booked and this would be supporting role more than main role
Maybe, but both actors liked their roles and had fun with each other and others got casted in season two quickly after it was announced so I think something else might be a reason here too. A lot of people really shipped their characters and some shipped the actors as well (because of their chemistry) and they don’t like when it goes on for too long in China so maybe it had something to do with the recasting for his role? Or maybe I’m overreacting and overthinking?? Idk
I think that boy was too similar in age to be ML, if he was one of FL’s mother foster kids he might have not…
They don’t show them repeatedly though, and they probably showed so many to emphasize the fact that the mother fostered many kids since her own daughter was very young and because of that her daughter felt neglected
me: *heavily sobbing* yes it is
No but seriously, that storyline was so lovely and so sad.
