Basically it’s a simple funny watch, the writing is really simple, but the characters and the budding friendships, the fight for your freedom and dream, and the on point comedic timing made it a fun watch

Koreans are racist but I think especially the ml, really showcased a good understanding of cultural differences
He didn’t make fun of them, he understood their values and in the end he used them to encourage the guys well
And even if some were shocked by these “villagers” everyone was really supportive and kind

Sadly real world isn’t that simple but I wouldn’t hate the sequel
The “unknown” actors also did a really good job, with minimum communication, they still conveyed their emotions well, I really liked the subtle emotions of shika, being overwhelmed by civilization, being away from his village and people and not wanting to play this game of fighting for their survival

wash, rinse and repeat

this left a bad after taste... so basically there's goblin right? then hotel del luna was a reverse goblin so yey, then came that nine tail fox which was pushing it with a few other low qualities like the water god, the blade thingy, that time stopping thing and it all led to this


yet another repetition. dying sad lonely girl. immortal self centered cold dude and the dramatic near death truck of doom while dude slows time and tries to help her up, all in which will lead to saving her life in the end


basically it's a big waste on boyoung, she should be a manweol not the sad damsel in distress and SIG is yet again doing the same role, I don't think this would offer anything
this should've been done by "newer" actresses, even a newer actor to atleast give them attention, otherwise both are too good for this teen fantasy borefest


ps, if you don't agree with my 1st ep review go hype the 1st ep 10/10 raters ;)

why do they keep making the same story, WITH THE SAME CAST, over and over and over again!!!!!!!! beside the cold, emotionless, self centered, neat freak jerk ML (the only thing missing is face blindness), kdramas either do a childhood connection or a "enemies to lovers" thing, like sometimes bickering is not cute it just makes my blood boil as a viewer and I already wish they don't end up together.
I've suffered through Sunbae Lipsticks horrible repetition with zero plot worth, I won't suffer here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I wanted to watch this for nana but wow that's so boring. like if it was written in 2010s, why won't they even try to modify it to fit 2021?

I mean cliches are fun but if it never went away it's just another boring drama!!!
the ml is SO BAD, beside his monotonal life that doesn't appeal to me whatsoever, this is like the 3rd time Lee Min Ki's been acting as that type of character in a raw, agh I miss his Shut Up: Flower Boy Band role
the fl seems fresh, usually she'd be a crybaby to the jerk, but then it's one of those enemies to lovers thing and they bicker so much it's off putting. which again would be nana's 2nd time as that type of romance
I got curious on the white dude though but the plot doesn't even mention it? anyway this is a drop after the 1st half of ep1

the problem isn't just her acting, at worse she's just flat, but her character is trash..
she approached taeoh first and flirted with his frozen heart, but "he's too poor" and she rejected inho and didn't drag him along but "he's too rich"..
at least she could be genuine to inha, but instead she plays both and she's not worth either..

this drama is like my country, both boys have an objective, their friendship is built on the common need to use one another, it's toxic, but it's power struggle..
and the romance is forced in to soften it and appeal to girls..
but gen z's don't even reject both and brood, they want both and blame the guys for it..

I promised to review anything i watch, even if i drop too soon, so ofc anyone reading this should understand it's the first impression and the reason of drop


Shin Hye Sun looked gorgeous as Ju Eun Ho but Ju Hye Ri is the 180 opposite, she talks annoyingly, and acts like a total child/airhead
also from what i watched, her behavior towards 2ml was harassment, to kiss him when he doesn't even know her, or maybe she imagined it. i didn't stay long enough

i read the past trauma about the sister, and how 2ml is her sisters crush? but two eps in and no one really had any character layout, they barely showed the mls, or any reasoning for their behaviors, so i got bored and dropped

Shin Hye Sun always shows a "two personality" type of characters, and i do hate it when the focal character becomes the unnaturally young/naive type
