Same here. I liked it, but it didn’t quite hit the spot for me. Hopefully it wraps up nicely.
I think it’s because they come up with things as they go, there are not set rules for the universe or their magic system so the plot feels very low tension since there are basically no known stakes, except that we don’t want anything to happen to the main couple of course.
I like the actors, they seem so uncomplicated and likable IRL, also very comfortable/natural with each other without it being cringy or staged. Boom is surprisingly cute 🥺🤏
I think the change to put chan young in a love line with a girl is acutally ok, it acts as a plot device so that…
I think it’s ok too, they changed the script a bit from the original manhwa and I get it since there were some paper-thin excuses/misunderstandings to set things off that would not hold up in a more slice-of-life adaptation, at least in my opinion.
There’s too much exposition where they over explain things that have already been heavily implied. That took me out of the story quite a bit, especially when the silent and stoic ML kept on shouting about how he feels about the FL, totally out of character imho.
The first ~18 episodes or so had me enjoying this, minimal fast forwarding (mostly when the comically evil duo uncle & his son were on screen) but after episode 20 it felt like the plot suddenly stopped plotting and everything took a backseat to resolve a silk fabric dispute. Sadly, I couldn’t enjoy the end either, something about it didn’t feel satisfying enough. The stakes seemed so high in the begging, things were dark and tense, but by the end — the way the “main” conflict was resolved fell kind of flat.
The two kings were only there as plot-armor, their sole purpose was to keep the two main leads apart. Which sort of raised the question why the main leads even felt obliged to be loyal to either of these men as they were questioned, punished or were forced to do things against their will every other episode by them.
And don’t get me started on Qimin…
Loved the last (surprise) couple tho, they were cute!
Anyhow, the cinematography is great in this show (except for those CGI wolves), the costumes are beautiful and the actors are good looking and charismatic as well. So when the plot didn’t deliver, at least the visuals & production did (not the CGI lol).
