Watch at your own risk for trauma and tears
Acting:
I think these are some of the best characters all of them have played. 田嘉瑞's range in this drama? Switching between the bright and innocent JL and the cold Dragon Deity? The devastation and sadness of LWY and JL as they take turns dying for each other and never being able to be happy together? THE SCENE WHEN WWY WAS PLANNING ON CUTTING OFF HER TAIL AND THEN WSG STOPPED HER. THE MUSIC THE FLASHBACKS THE TEARS. CHILLS. And WSG's absolutely falling for WWY and the conflict of not being able to stop loving her even after knowing what she did. This was an absolutely MASTERPIECE of emotions. I cried so many times, clutched my pearls, cheering, rooting for these two couples. An absolute emotional roller coaster, and I think my level of immersion has everything to do with their stunning portrayals of their characters.
Story:
I think this was the weakest part of the show, but by no means bad. I think there were some parts I was bored, or I was less invested, likely because of pacing problems. I was confused very often but just enjoyed the ride.
I think one thing VOS did really excellently is you can totally see the complex relationships between all the characters. How WWY x WSG romance is a beautiful quiet and subtle love while LWY x JL is absolutely tragic but sweet. The friendships, sisterhood, brotherhood.
MAY I SAY WE WERE ROBBED OF HAPPY ENDING EPISODES. LIKE BRUH IK YOU HAVE SPACE FOR SOME EXTRA EPISODES. Something I absolutely adored about this drama was seeing WWY and WSG growing old and living life together in the middle, because we NEVER see that in cdramas, you never get a sufficiently long ending. I can't believe it just ended with WWY having absolutely no memory of their love spanning 50 years and everything she and WSG went through. And JL and LWY not getting their long awaited HOE? And LJ not finding JL? I need more.
Music:
SO FIRE IVE BEEN LISTENING ON REPEAT.
I've always loved how you can associate specific songs with specific couples in cdramas. Whenever 雾時光 plays during WWY x WSG moments UGH. ALSO WE ARE ABSOLUTELY ROBBED OF THE DUO VERSION OF 不苦 LIKE WDYM WE GET IT FINALLY AT THE END. ACTUAL CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
Overall definitely recommend. The first few episodes are the slowest but keep going, it just keeps getting better.
