Good drama at the start but not worth the time
The concept of a soulmate spell, time crossed lovers and time travel is a combination I have never come across before so I was very excited at first, but I soon became frustrated with the story.
I was genuinely excited to watch this drama but very disappointed at the execution and writing. I do not watch dramas that constantly have woman suffering to prop up the male lead and this one does exactly that. Female lead had no serious backing or support and was essentially on her own as the male lead was completely unreliable and just made empty threats. He sacrificed his ‘soulmates’ safety for the sake of family reputation but couldn’t hide her or distance himself for her safety.
Female lead is bubbly and has a fun personality but I feel like all the men around her do not care for what she wants. After the failed attempt to send her home on the full moon she wanted to get a job and wait for the year to end but male lead forces her back to his house knowing that she will be schemed against time and time again. Male leads servant is the hidden villain of this story, he brought her to their world knowing that the second female lead is crazy and evil, he did not care for her safety or life all he wanted was for his master to find his soulmate and not think of the repercussions. The male friend of the female lead from her time period found her interests boring he was controlling and simply wanted her to be complacent yet unique.
Male lead never solved a single thing as someone who is supposed to be powerful his entire role is to save the female lead and I dislike such tropes. He was the whole reason she was in danger 24/7. If he maybe kept some distance or at the very least did not keep her in his house I feel like they could have removed some of the scheming and added more romance.
Second leads are evil and faced no consequences for most of the show besides a few beatings and scoldings. In present day time the grandma and her family have a gaggle of thugs working for them and are completely insane. Selfishness must have been past down through the generations as the only reason grandma Bua’s granddaughter went against her is in hopes that a man would want her. The grandson in both timelines is a disgusting character and only thinks of himself to the point of r*pe.
The spell chanters from the modern day were also extremely frustrating. I understand that it was a task pasted down from their ancestors but I find it odd how the female leads opinion was completely irrelevant to them besides the one time when the granddaughter asked.
The highlight of this show were the gang of servants they were funny and entertaining to watch even the servant of the second female lead made me laugh. They were supportive and had good relationships with their masters, witty and strong characters loved them 9/10. Except for the male leads personal servant of course.
I did enjoy the cute moments between the two leads and their interactions with the male leads family and servants. He comes from a loving household it’s simply unfortunate that his father was saved by a man who birthed an evil creature.
The acting was good second female lead was so good in her role, she portrayed a spoiled, deranged and scheming woman perfectly and same goes for the second male lead. The evil characters were definitely well acted. The good characters were good aswell and female lead had he giggling everytime she slapped herself to see if it was a dream.
Overall I feel like this drama had so much wasted potential and unnecessary torture so I stopped watching as I don’t want my heart to give out from stress. So if you enjoy torture p*rn and useless leads go ahead and and enjoy the show.
