My fave romcom kdrama in a long time! Very entertaining and funny. No stupid thriller plot. The chemistry of the main couple is amazing and I’m glad they got the happy ending.
But…I really don’t like how the drama weakened the FL in the end and how her coworkers are the ones who saved her. And the whole sleeping with men to avenge other women twist bugged me too.
ZXC is exactly how i imagined Fei Du (Pei Su). He has the look and I'm very happy with his acting. Charismatic and good at quiet emotional moments too. Truly one of the best young actors in c-ent.
I've never watched FXB in a drama before but I really like him as LWZ. It's been awhile since I've read Modu and FXB plays LWZ a little more goofy than I expected. I always pictured LWZ being more lowkey funny while reading. But I'm enjoying LWZ and FXB's performance nonetheless.
Yeah it is astounding in the worst way how this character lacks any situational awareness and common sense, trusts…
it drives me nuts that she never questions anything. Gye Jeol has known Kokdu for over a month now iirc and weird things keep happening around him that can't be explained. But she just accepts it all. Keeps on believing it's amnesia/mental disorder.
8 eps left and she still doesn't know about her past life, being Kokdu's salvation, Kokdu being a deity and having powers...no wonder the plot doesn't feel like it's moving
halfway through the drama and Gye Jeol is still clueless. There’s no growth with her…feels like she gets dumber with each episode. it’s so frustrating to watch. I blame the writers. ISH deserves better.
really struggling with this drama. I love Kokdu and KJH's performance but that's pretty much it. I wish the romance was written better...i don't care for GJ/Kokdu at all. it's very one-sided.
ep 3 is really funny and probably my fave out of ep1-4. i loved the small bits of vulnerability we got with Kokdu. KJH is a comedy genius but he's good at the quiet emotional moments too. I think that gets overlooked sometimes because he's so funny.
I really enjoy Kokdu being unhinged and over-the-top. Too often the default setting for supernatural beings in dramas is serious and stoic...which is so boring.
But…I really don’t like how the drama weakened the FL in the end and how her coworkers are the ones who saved her. And the whole sleeping with men to avenge other women twist bugged me too.
