I absolutely agree! I was bummed by the very brief reunion at the end but I really enjoyed the show overall!
Yes the fact that she didn't even contact him during her stay in the US really bothered me too! I could understand the fact that she wanted to follow her sister after so much time apart and him being an idol would have complicated things between them but it was disappointing because the show is mainly about the romance... I guess the writers wanted to show that she was a "stong independent woman who doesn't need a man" but it actually seemed like she didn't like him that much even after all of this...? And yes after 1 year of absolutely no contact (or maybe more? I don't even know) him buying her old house seemed kinda weird... But I think they'll go back together because she's back in Korea for good it seems and the group has disbanded after their tour I think ? Or they took a break at least so it will make things easier between them... We can hope so haha
I didn't know what to expect with this movie but it was surprisingly cute and wholesome (?) ! It reminds us to not be ashamed of who we are and what we like as long as there is consent between both parties. Well I admit I sometimes felt second hand embarrassment (the famous dog scene lol) but I expected something much worse. Also big kudos to whoever decided on the casting, it was perfect ! I even wished it was longer because the main couple was very cute together.
also, male lead is adorable!!!! a literal puppy, i must say! HAHAHA why have i not seen him before?!
Ah well I admit the plot was kinda weird but I finished it like 2 days ago so I understand ^^ I really liked Let me be your knight, even if his character was a bit (a lot) mean at first there was character development (this wasn't the case for his character in Good casting he was still a jerk at the end) Did you like Imitation ? I plan to watch it but I'm a little scared because some reviews say it's boring
You made a perfect summary of all the things that I didn't understand during the drama! The only thing that I…
Thank you so much for your reply! I really need to re watch the drama, I feel like I didn't understand a single thing and honestly I don't even know what I don't understand anymore ^^' Eul Tae wanted Hwal to kill Sang Un because Hwal was the only one who could recover Eul Tae's lost soul? But then Hwal would be a human again and Sang Un would again transform into Bulgasal? I don't understand how he hoped to destroy his soul completely (to cure the dark hole) because the curse of Bulgasal is a swap (one becomes human and the other turns into Bulgasal) so his soul is only transferred to one body to another again and again? Or did he want Hwal to kill Sang Un without transferring the curse of Bulgasal to her? Wasn't he aware of Hwal's plan to take revenge by transforming her back into Bulgasal?
After seeing Lee Joon in Bulgasal and The silent sea, I wanted to see him in something more light and funny. I admit I'm a bit afraid by the number of episodes, I often have a hard time watching a drama with 20 ep so I guess we'll see!
One of my big takeaways from watching episode 1 is that Gong Seungyeon should do more serious sageuk dramas. I…
I agree with you, I wish we had seen more of her in the past, she was just mesmerizing! The same goes for Sang Un, she was so beautiful and intriguing when she was Bulgasal
I believe that he not only gave his soul to him, but his family followed it, Detective Kwon was his father, Shi…
OMG you're right ! I quite didn't understand how Eul Tae's father 1000 years ago became Hwal's adoptive father 600 years ago! And I completely forgot about the red thread in Shi Ho's hair... It makes sense now!
lemme try my best to explain from what i understood, 1 about OET being obsessed with hwal, initially it was his…
Oh yeah I see what you mean! It would have been a great "breather" to include the events from the past at EP 12 or so, because it wasn't a big enough reveal to take place in the last EP...
lemme try my best to explain from what i understood, 1 about OET being obsessed with hwal, initially it was his…
On the contrary I thought he was shown hating her even when he was alone, so maybe I really need to re watch the show ^^' I don't remember what happens in EP 12 but I do agree that they should have explained the 1000 years ago events much sooner, but like you said they wanted to attract many viewers... It was a difficult thing to keep the mystery until the end

I see what you mean. I would have liked it better also if we had a better understanding of Hwal and Sang Un's relationship 1000 years ago. And it would have been interesting to see their origins (were they the only pair of bulgasal in korea? What did they eat ? Just animals ? Why did Sang Un have yellow/golden eyes while Hwal have red eyes? I kinda thought it was like in Twilight in which the "good" vampires only drink animal's blood (yellow eyes) and the "bad" drink human's blood (red eyes)) Also for a moment I even thought that Hwal was in fact the brother that Eul Tae killed, even if it didn't make much sense. It was just to find a deeper meaning behind all this. Because his affection for the detective was comprehensible, and I guess it was also the case for Do Yoon, but for Hwal it was just too much too fast... Maybe we want to make sense of something that is purely fantastical, so the writers didn't bother to properly deliver a strong backstory... But again, someone in the comments below didn't find any "plot holes" (I don't know if it's the correct term) so I guess it all depends on our personal understanding of the story...

Yeah I also thought about a possible love triangle in the past (well I'm a sucker for this type of story with a forbidden/impossible love between a "good person" and a more antagonistic figure, unfortunately this thought didn't last for long haha) If you want another perspective on why he wanted her dead, I already posted a little before you and someone kindly replied to my questions! The thing that I still don't understand is the reason why Eul Tae acted like it was Sang Un who forced this never ending pain upon him... I guess it was to better manipulate Hwal but it seemed like he really resented her even when he was shown alone like in his house for example (why still act like that when there's no one around to manipulate?) And I feel like at first he acted like he had a clear plan to stop the pain but in the end not really..? I don't know, I feel like there's a clear distinction between the way he acted during the beginning and middle of the drama to make the viewer "intrigued" by him and the real motivations behind that, it all kinda felt flat in the end... I completely agree that many assumptions were made concerning Eul Tae's obsession with Hwal and him finding things that he couldn't possibly have known when he was just a human, but I guess the writers thought that the viewers would find a reason for all that on their own... The humans in the past seemed to vaguely know about the Bulgasal before these events but even then it was more of a legend/myth than a reality for them... So maybe Eul Tae did more research on the subject after his transformation...
