What I watched wasn’t the story,it was the setup. Every certainty was a carefully placed illusion
One word... amazing.. just watch it.. it will be worth it.. skim through the boring parts if you want to.. but please do watch the last episode.. since, as someone said, it's almost 90% of the story.
The plot didn’t twist—it flipped the table.
Yes, it has a lot of blood, but i didnt find it any way disgusting... has a lot of fighting scenes, but none are frustrating. And the reveal or ending satifies you well enough for the time you put into this. This show knew how to wrap up. Some of your worries of start might seem futile at last.. but the adrenaline fills in for everything.
I don’t regret dropping it after watching only the first 20 minutes back in 2022. I didn’t drop it because I thought it was bad, or lacking in any way. Its just hard to get into the mood for this....
I would say I dropped it precisely because I knew it was a masterpiece. I was never hesitant or doubtful about it being any less entertaining or meaningful than Goblin... its just that iwanted the moment of my watch to be perfect... and my mood best in to take it.
From the reviews and the hype alone, I knew it was good—good enough that I wanted to save it.
So now, in 2026, finally getting to complete this masterpiece feels like eating the last slice of a sweet pie I had deliberately saved for the end.
That said, the first episode—especially the beginning—can feel quite foreign and difficult to follow. This is even more true for viewers who aren’t very familiar with Korean culture or mythology. It’s a show that offers more questions than answers with every episode. It’s slow, and it takes time to grasp what the real issue is, and to come to terms with the unknown and the incompleteness of the mystery presented to us. For a good portion of the drama, that uncertainty stays almost the same.
Over time, though, it becomes the norm. You get so involved in the plot and the characters that you stop worrying—or growing anxious—about uncovering the mystery alone. But reaching that state does take time, especially with the emotionally distant approach at the start and the confusion you’re thrown into.
I had saved it for a day when I’d be ready to watch episode 1 leisurely… and make it to episode 2. Once I reached 2, it soon became 3—and then everything else. And I loved it.
Yes, you might get frustrated many times. But the audience is compensated with so much along the way: an out-of-this-world female lead who looks like a goddess, gracing the earth as if disguised as a simple farmer; a fine-looking, serious male lead—a human turned into a strong, tough monster, yet a complete softie at heart.
There’s also the complicated red thread of fate, intertwining the characters in a messy, stressful, and almost unexplainable way—just enough to keep the audience hooked. A warm pseudo-family that slowly forms. And a hot villain who makes us wonder: what if he had been treated with kindness from the start? Would he have turned out differently? And even if he had received it—would that have stopped his cruelty, and greed? ………… well it was momentary thought.. we soon get out conclusion to this.. thought its not very clear.. but a vague feeling.
Anyway, the way Ok Eul-tae clung to Hwal at one point genuinely made me wonder if the genre secretly included BL and I somehow missed it. They say it was one-sided love from Hwal toward Sang-un, and I was like—bro, I don’t know about that, but it definitely looked like one-sided love from Ok Eul-tae toward Hwal.
At the end of the day, this story is basically about two kids arguing, “This is mine.” “No, it’s mine.” “You took it from me.” And then—surprise—it turns out it belonged to someone else entirely. A third party??
I laughed so hard when I lowkey guessed it, and when the reveal actually happened, I was on the floor coughing from laughter.
So you’re telling me… Hwal dragged Ok Eul-tae into all of this, then went ahead and betrayed him, and then spent centuries hunting him down? 😭
I literally cannot stop laughing—and at the same time, I feel bad for the villain. Poor guy got dragged into a couple’s mess for absolutely nothing.
But it was bro eul tae’s greed that kinda let it to this.. He is lowkey responsible for it all..
Its amazing how this whole mess was created not born of hate … but born of love..
Eul tae desire for recognition from his father..
hwal ‘s wanting to be forever with sang un.. And sang un’s love for the small humans…
This drama does a full 180 on you. The story starts in the east, and the actual truth is waiting all the way in the west. Like—what? what??
I’m adding this after finishing the last three episodes, and honestly—who do we even blame? Who was the villain? Wait… what was the real issue to begin with?
Fate was so cruel. Or maybe it’s the way destiny and its connections are out human or living understanding.. That was so messily connected and complicated by the thread of fate .. i dont even know how to explain or pinpoint the facts—I don’t even know anymore. And that last episode… trust me, I couldn’t close my mouth after it ended. I was just sitting there in shock, completely amazed.
This was such a massive UNO reverse—honestly better than most parallel-world or dimension twists. Man.
