Although it wasn't especially bad, there was nothing really original here, just endless remixes of stuff you might have already seen if you watch such dramas. For instance, this is, among others, basically a soft remake of Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016), except with a somewhat more age-appropriate relationship (give or take 200 years instead of… 900)

It's unfortunate that the side characters were so obnoxious and annoying (a recurring problem in kdrama), because the leads were great. The special effects too. Almost anytime the show cut to anyone other than the main characters, it suffered. The writing was subpar overall, with many scenes not making sense. The storyline started off pretty great but then just meandered for a long time. Add in the past flashbacks and… it ground to a halt. Pretty much killed the show for me. I finished it more by accident than anything else.

More of Song Kang playing a magic-swinging devil, that chewy Chaebol villain along with his messed up family, and Kim You Jung being a hot-headed (and just hot tbh) slightly bratty CEO, less of everything else please. Would have done wonders for the show.

As it is, overall pretty meh.
