The completed subs for the series are all up on d-addicts!

I just could never get into the mystery Shaman stuff with the CEO and company, because the writers gave us very little information and what they did tell us was confusing. I love Seul Bi and greatly enjoyed being love bombed by her, but the rest of this drama just turned into a hard pass for me.

Reading comments since I dropped this, and I have thoughts to share. I think the problem with this drama is that the darker side of the story has begun to overshadow the cute, bubbly, ethereal charms the show had early on, but the darker side of the story is not well-done, so it's just dragging the enjoyable parts down. If they had just focused on the cute, budding romance between the leads more and left the dark stuff more in the background, I could have continued watching this. It still wouldn't have been a very well-written drama, but it would have been a pleasant watch. As it is, I'm glad I decided to drop this before ep 8.

I can't get myself to watch ep 8, so I'm going to drop this. It's just not cute anymore.

Yeah, the 2ML likes the female lead. He pines for her through most of the drama but doesn't tell her he likes her. Then he tells her, and she firmly rejects him, and he doesn't really want to let it go for an episode or two. It's actually technically a love square for a bit as another girl likes the male lead as well, but that doesn't go anywhere, because he doesn't have any interest in her. I wouldn't say no to this drama because of the love triangle/square though. All of the characters are quite likable, and the relationship dynamics are very realistic and understandable. Sometimes you like people who don't like you back. It happens.

Lol!

They drop the stabbing plot in later episodes like it never happened, so we don't know who did it. And that's probably why they went back and edited that scene out.

Me too, fam. Me too.

Which would you consider better, the webtoon or drama?

The stickers were there because the production company didn't have a product placement deal in place with that brand, and you can't use a brand without having a deal with them. Older Kdramas had way smaller production budgets, so they likely couldn't afford to be doing many, if any, product placements. Kdramas are much bigger productions today though, so they can afford it now.

Product placement. It is always and forever product placement. If a character is poor but uses an expensive product, if ALL of the characters are using the Same product, if everyone and their grandmother seems to really love Subway...it's product placement, lol.

I don't know. The mythos of this story has gotten too confusing for me, lol.

Yeah, I remember that now.

It really has been incredibly consistent, which I think is part of why those cuts are so frustrating. I mean, I'm pretty sure there have already been some dropped plot points before, and they didn't cut scenes out there. That's why I'm going to re-watch what I've seen since ep 23, because I'm not totally enjoying the drama anymore, and I know that I should be. I think this drama is pretty good, and I don't want those cuts to ruin it for me.

I can see what you mean now, and that does make sense in regard to all of the secondary characters. I'm not sure it makes sense in regard to Soo Gwang though, because he's actually experienced some of those sorts of things. He's painfully aware what these people are willing to do.

Yeah, I think the backstory is going to end up being kind of garbage, because they've done very little to lay down any sort of groundwork.

I still think he should have been more suspicious about her situation though. It's a plot hole/inconsistency with his character that I think is now coming to bite the story in the butt.

I didn't remember Min Joon mentioning his mom, so I guess that answers that question. I really don't think there is any sort of rule or anything that they have to have children with the shamans though. I think we're all doing a lot of filling in the blanks, because the story isn't giving us any information.

I don't think there's inbreeding going on. I'm pretty sure when grandma met Soldier, she told him that she was pregnant. Even if she didn't though, I don't think Mom is grandpa's daughter. The drama hasn't suggested as much, at least.

Yeah, cutting those scenes out just makes it so glaringly obvious. I've been marathoning this drama off and on, and that really ruined my viewing flow. I'm probably gonna have to do some re-watching to get back in the groove with the story.

I'm on ep. 23 with the infamous scene cut, and I'm thinking it's not just 23 that had cuts made. Ep. 21 has some weird editing as well, and ep. 22 has a couple of small moments that feel like they were leading somewhere but didn't.

Personally, I would have preferred they had left whatever all they removed in the drama. Even if the plotlines introduced got dropped, at least the flow of the episodes would make sense.
