imo this is just a mediocre series wrapped up in pretty packaging. I can understand the frustration of the viewers who expected smth serious after reading 'mafia consigliere' in the synopsis or found the humor to be very off-putting. I have watched the other works of writer and felt like he just rehashed it with more polished production. I ended up dropping this around 5 coz I couldn't warm up to any leads + got tired of tediously long eps filled with a whole lot of fillers. And lets not make a bold claim that we, as an intl audience, are pushing the envelope of korean series or take the ratings on this website as a standard for a series esp korean ones when we have DAYS as the top rated airing series. It is one of the most flaccidly written, mind numbingly boring fantasy series I've watched :/
Thanks for this. I was getting discouraged from watching by the negative comments, but I didn’t enjoy Goblin…
'Goblin' had quite a horrible pacing imo. But it looks better when compared to pacing in this one. It also had decent SLs who had some screen time and relevance to the main plot unlike the ones here :/

As someone who did not liked the romance in 'Goblin' at all, that series still offered better world building and interesting SLs/side characters who had an engaging dynamic with leads. This series is lacking in all the aforementioned aspects.
lol that's a huge contrast b/w korean audience and international audience. this is somehow highest rated series…
there're better series airing in Mon-Tue slot. also there's nothing special about this series except cast. everything else is same ol' same ol'. writing and execution is mediocre and below. and this website has a known problem with inflated ratings of korean series esp romcoms.
nonexistent plot (even by romcom standards). pretentious dialogues. side characters are interesting but they have very small screen time and have almost no relevance to the main plot. most importantly, main characters are so so flat. barring the actors/actresses looks, they got nothing else going on for them.
There is so little to the plot that each episode chould be summarised using only one or two sentence and you still…
there's pretty much no reason to. why is an omnipresent entity so obsessed with one human. I find it hard to believe that he never encountered someone a whole lot interesting than FL in all his years of existence. Its writer's fault tbh. He/she has made her character downright boring. She even has that basic romcom starter package as her backstory. Nothing about her is interesting- from her thought process or personality to her dynamic with characters around her.
So you guys are not recommending this be watched at the same time as Doom then? I haven't started this one yet,…
DAYS is quite boring and bland. I'm powering through it coz of SLs story which also took a questionable turn this ep. next ep is make or break for me since 'Racket Boys' has also started.
this SFL need to do some first lead roles and not in romcoms. I hope she has a decent amount of screen time in this one. atleast more than the last series I saw her in (Startup) :/
I had no expectations from this series. neither acting wise nor story wise. so it seemed okay till now. a light romcom with a few smiles here and there :/
