It's definitely not what I expected

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and what I personally thought about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a better score and why it is better than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly resepct that.

This was supposed to be Park Jinyoung's last series when he enlisted in the military, but it was released after he fulfilled his mandatory enlistment. And well, it was not what I was expecting it to be. I will say that after watching the first four episodes, I did lose some interest in this series. However, episodes 5 onwards drew me back in and carried me on an unexpected journey.

We must call a spade a spade—yes, Park Jinyoung's character is a stalker/has stalker-like qualities. We are explained that he wants to find a way for the FL-Park Mi Jeong—to live a normal life and to not live the life as 'the witch', as she has lived a cruel life in her younger years. He does collect data and analyze all the factors that surround her to get the end result. The series was able to keep my attention, as I wanted to know what the end result would have been.

While he collected data on the FL, he has also collected data on his best friend, as he too is 'a witch' (this was a shock to me as leading up to this, I wanted to know what was the purpose of his friend throughout the series). I will say what threw me off a bit was the 'romance' between the SL. I felt that came out of nowhere, but maybe that was just me.

This series was indeed an interesting watch, with some qualities that we may not like about the ML. But it was still able to keep my attention, as I did want to know if the ML would have succeeded in his case study about the FL.
