Watch it for Gil Dal
The first episode was so much fun to watch which made me binge watch the whole thing in one setting, the first couple of episodes were the best IMO, they were funny and lovely, the cast was fine and the story has potential.
I don't know what went wrong through the script but I had a few moments of scratching my head while watching wondering why did they go this way with the story.
What I liked about the drama
1- Gil Dal
This adorkable hulk is such a cutie, I paused a few times squealing in my seat because of how adorable and innocent he is, he is super adorable, and the actor did great in his role, I loved his chemistry with JiGwe too, I somehow wished they had an intimate scene or two, which is something I don't often look for when watching BL, I seriously wanted to see their love.
2- second couple story
I mentioned the second couple chemistry, but their story is also more interesting than the first, the bad flirty fox and the innocent huge muscular goblin are much more interesting couple than a simple human X goblin one that doesn't have anything going on tbh~
3- the cast chemistry together was good, even great, I loved that all character has a scene or two with eachother we had too many ghost ships too lol
SamShin character too was adorable, the actress looks so young and she didn't really show that halmoni inner heart but nonetheless the whole cast were very childish in a refreshing way.
4- this may sound weird but the intros
The animated intros were amazing, I wish they had them for all episodes to give us a better understanding for the story and tbh once they skipped them the story started to feel very confusing, for example, till the end we don't even know how exactly the gumiho betrayed the bihyung and nothing explained that.
What I didn't like
1-the main leads story
It started off well, then I don't know what happened, according to the contract they should have physical interaction every now and then and the whole ghost thing was so overlooked, and the two leads didn't even have a proper interaction till ep8 maybe when they started to have something actually going on.
2- the ML
I have seen this country bumpkin character in a billion BL before and they literally all the same, innocent and inexperienced and all that, but the actor didn't really convince me tbh, he needs a few acting lessons maybe, not saying he is bad actor, he is fine but I don't know, some scenes were just off.
3- many unanswered question
I liked the twist in ep9 which was really smart idea tbh, the writer deserves a slow clapping moment because it tied a few ends HOWEVER, it wasn't executed well, it opened a door to some questions, like how did he become his master exactly??? And why? And how by travelling back, he was able to make him wake up in the present!!
I didn't even mention the animosity between the bihyung and the mysterious guy and JiGwe, what happened? Who exactly are they? Also the second lead ending, how?? Are they together, what happened after their huge fight?? How did they get back together??? Too many loose ends.
4- the ending in general
As I said the second couple story was under developed despite being more interesting than the main lead's, but also the main story end was weird, so he left and then came back... Why? 😂 Guys why so mysterious? The last ep is a bunch of scenes that are totally unrelated to the whole 11 episodes before it. Making everything confusing unnecessarily.
In general, it was cute and I believe Gil Dal worth every second I spend watching this, he was a breath of fresh air, and I'd rewatch this drama for him~
I would definitely recommend it, but a piece of advice, try to turn a blind eye to the story because it lacks a lot, and the ending is happy but in a very forced way so just take it with a grain of salt, and lower your expectations ~~
