At first, I didn’t think the series was bad, maybe because Park Bo Young was the lead and it focused on movie enthusiasts, which I relate to. I enjoyed it until the last two episodes, but the story felt shallow. While I could relate to Mu Bi's feelings of regret and hatred from childhood neglect, it became repetitive in the final episodes. I appreciated how the show depicted life after losing someone and the idea of living for others despite having no will to live. However, the story was weak, and I wasn’t invested in the second couple. The lack of communication between them over seven years felt unrealistic, and I didn’t care whether they ended up together.
What I really enjoyed was Gyeom’s love for movies, how it healed him, and the strong supporting characters, especially Gyeom’s brother. His story was the best part, and although it could have been explored more, it left a significant impact. Unfortunately, everything else, including the chemistry between the leads, felt lacking. Nonetheless, it was still nice to watch something I could truly relate to...the love for movies.
It's rare to see a C-drama where the ml isn't always saving the fl or being overly attentive, as if he can't live a day without interacting with her, lmao. Although I've been wanting the ml to fall in love already, I'm also happy with how unique he is in this drama compared to others.
My only complaint is that I shouldn't watch this while it's airing because I want to binge all the episodes now.
I can see why the rating is high. It was a great drama with so many wonderful characters. A fantastic story, not just about people who are gifted and possess unique abilities, but also about parents who are willing to risk their lives to protect their children.
My only complaint about this drama is that there were too many flashbacks, although I do recognize their importance. I just think they could have used some scenes to enhance the last few episodes, as things happened too quickly. There’s a feeling in this drama where some parts seem slow, while others feel rushed. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it and still find myself missing the characters.
It has a great balance of romance, action, and the supernatural. I found myself amazed at how the characters used their abilities to fight the villains. Speaking of the villains, I cried so much for them. I was literally sobbing while ranting, wondering why they had to show the side stories of the Northern people, as I was hoping for them to stay alive and not be defeated. My heart still aches because of them. They deserved so much better!
question - so the first 10 eps focus on the parents and the rest 10 eps on the kids? also it's procedural right?
Nope, at first, they focus on the present, which is the kids in highschool, and then each episode tackles the stories of the parents and other important characters. There are a lot of flashbacks.
You just answered your own question. Studios strive to prevent situations where the 2nd couple outshines the leads.…
You must be right, but I'm still grateful that K-dramas these days are consistently featuring second couples because they do a great job of making the drama more interesting and adding extra flavor. In fact, most of the K-dramas I've watched recently have had second couples that I adored.
As much as I enjoyed the drama, I still think it's overrated and overhyped.
Both couples had great chemistry, but I really loved the second couple because I adored both their chemistry and their characters. Some of the plot twists were predictable, while others were surprising. However, I honestly expected more from the villain because, from the very start, he seemed so stupid and unserious to me. Am I supposed to take him seriously or not? I don't know, lmao. It's a great show to binge, and I'm glad I didn’t watch it while it was airing.
As for the last episode, I was literally laughing out loud because why did we suddenly get a military/war theme in the story? LMAO. Some of the scenes were cringe-worthy and unrealistic. I think it would have been better if they had ended it without him disappearing because him being threatened and being part of that family was already a punishment. It felt more like a punishment for the girl than for him. I still think that, even though they included a lot of plot twists, the execution was a bit off. But anyway, I will miss the four main leads, especially the dzaddies. 🥰
