I think the ending was underwhelming. I know, people like happy endings and so do I but sometimes happy is not necessarily good ending. I mean - it was blah after all the hooppla in the previous episodes. I think it would have had a better impact if 1) the evil blind man (the character was really well written) got his ending in the way that explained the lightning strike. I mean: who sent that? Bibi gone and Chul supposedly too, so who the heck sent that fire bolt that killed him???? it would have tied nicer the whole story with the second coming of the Imugi, right? 2) the serpent came back after being sent by higher power. REALLY? that is it?! I thought he should have been given a life lesson: you don't disintegrate like your brother but you are given a life worse than you ever had - as human! And if not that he could have been given a chance to mourn as humans do if he was saved by a human sacrifice. Not Yeo Ri but I mean Gap's mother would have served the purpose imo. If Chul could feel (shortly but still) the grief from Bibi's death, why can't he feel the grief of the original Gap after his mother "makes a deal" with higher power to exchange her life for his? I originally had given it 9/10, but the forced humor of the ending was not to my liking.
I can't quite understand why in this day and age China is still pushing alcoholism in the workplace like that is OK. I agree with the comment below: bad moral messages.
Not familiar with these actors. The ratings are so low is it worth watchine?
ML actor has been playing in some not so good productions (crappy script and morally dubious characters) but he is an eye candy, for sure. Just starting it and hoping that with short episodes to catch up before it ends.

I love how goofy he is and we are never let feel he walks on water 😁I am giving it 7.75 as of right now so let's wait and see if the production shortcomings could be trumped by the sheer fun of it. I can watch stuff like this daily!
I am not a fan of fantasy genre particularly the usual immortal-becoming-human trope but this so much fun! I love how adorable the ML is in body, facial expression, character and even that nasal voice! OMG! this is so enjoyable! I am discarding the ridiculous side characters trying to mess up the plot and can't wait for the immortal to hook up with that always enthusiastic lovable maid that is with him! Never mind the 3 scheming beauties!
I'm done the 40 EPs. It's a good drama, XZ breakthrough solo drama after the UT. He matured as an actor theres…
don't forget the influence of the director. I agree with you on Xiao Zhan's abilities, but look what he did in The Condor Heroes movie this year. You get a director with certain style and the characters will come out certain way. Actors can only do so much... This production was top notch from beginning and all aspects of it were well worked out starting with the script/adaptation of the ideas from other movies/dramas, creation of complex characters and super plot that takes no prisoners including the ending, plus cinematography, camera works, designs, make up, editing and the music, OMG! MUSIC! I have been rating the episodes 10/10 since ep 18 because of the overall value of this drama. Not to mention hard to swallow for fluffy romance lovers reality of the hero being ruthless and fallible and those in power still doing what they do because there is nobody to stop the machine and human greed. I am ok with leads dying in the end if the message is clearly outlined.

the best part of my understanding is that (like in the movie Everything everywhere all at once or what Arrival hinted at in the best possible way) 1, 2, 3 ....15 are happening simultaneously so it's our human limitation of time perception that is causing US problems while our souls are just having fun
I get it. In the first 2 episodes Gap turns out to be a liar - he deceived Yeo Ri - funny just like Imugi, who turns out to be NOT the bad guy we think he is the first few episodes. Up to you if you will watch - I find the whole idea of the vengeful spirit like that in Exhuma fascinating, but this one has a lot of fun aspects.

cool! I knew you were kindred spirit! From my standpoint our souls "leak" parts of previous experiences (memories of past lives) only when they are closer to fulfilling their run on human existence, that is when they learnt what they wanted to learn, gained what they wanted and are planning on forever departure from this world. I have never met people like that in my life (only heard from others encountering them) but even before I discovered about my own soul and its connection to the previous lives (via relationships in this one), I had a sense of deja vu and knowing beyond words (I just knew things about places and times impossible for me to visit during this lifetime). After reading The Law of One the whole "circle of souls" and "soul agreements" made sense and opened the door to awareness of what experiences I had already been through as well as conscious choices my souls made in the past and how they affect ME in THIS life.
I once wrote a script for a story and always wanted a director or producer to make a few seasons showing the same soul travelling through different reincarnations across the human world and centuries of experience. This drama (a lovely romance with SE) could be one of the seasons in the journey of 0598. I just wished the learning of that reincarnation was more pronounced aside from the usual "love is the most important feeling for humans"
