Upside Down Could've Been
This is a truly wasted potential. Had a really strong arc in the beginning. The shaman aspect of the story got me hooked. I've always been into ghost and exorcism stories. Given that it's also romance is a total package.
There are certain points in the story that I didn't quite catch into. Like how was Gyeon U related to Yeomhwa, that he was cursed by her instead of the grandmother? And that girl that Gyeon U kept on calling with his phone that it seems he is repaying something for her that he isn't suppose to be doing since I think what may have happened to her isn't done intentionally by Gyeon U. Gyeon U's relationship to his parents aren't clear enough for me either. Is it like, he was abandoned by them because of his curse and the grandmother took charge of taking care of him instead?
Anyways, I liked the side characters. I mean the MC's school friends. Like Jin Ung and Hyeri. I feel sad for Ji Ho's character. He is technically should be Seong A's first love. I like that he does everything for her. sadly, he was friendzoned.
This is my second time to watch Choo Yoong Woo in a drama. Last drama I saw him as ML was in Once Upon A Small Town. He played a hot Veterinarian. He literally reminds me of Rowoon. I see they quite have a resemblance.
The cast nailed their roles. The story just went Upside Down for me. Specially the last 2 eps. That time lapse of 2 years ruined it all. It would have been better if Seong Ha fulfilled her dream of graduating from HS and College. And yes, definitely the romance department have been lacking. The kiss was only done in the finale and not even executed well.
It would have been better for me to have Yeomwha died instead of the mom. I know she has to shoulder the consequences of her actions and have to suffer while living alone. But, it would be epic I guess to see her reunited with her child.
Overall, the finale felt rushed. Could have been better if MC had a child in the end and named their son Bong Su. Truly a wasted potential for me. I can only give this a 7.5
