I read the comments on this and nearly gave up on it, I'm glad I ignored them. I loved this. (I had hints the ending was bad, but it still nearly gave me an aneurysm.) The love story between the main leads is both heart-wrenchingly beautiful and sad. Not gonna lie, after everything they went through, I wanted more from their ending. But apparently, this is a thing in cdramas so I'll be careful if I decide to watch more (already caught The Wolf but can't watch it because I know it'll make me cry too.) It's the same for the secondary couple as well, since they aren't the leads their love story was a bit slow to develop, literally happened while the female lead was going through 4 lifetimes, but their background did make me tear up. There are just certain people you wanna beat up for their idiocy (such as a certain heavenly emperor who's clearly terrible at it, these immortals need a democracy or something.)
As for the villain that supposedly came out of nowhere, I'm usually dense about this kind of thing but even I figured he was sus pretty early on. So it hurt, because I knew it would hurt the leads, but the twist was honestly expected.
What I really wish we got more of was interaction with the world and with more characters, because a lot of those feel like loose threads. From the first life alone we never learn what happens between the FL and the woman she worked for as a maid, they were as close as sisters but after her mistress had to face a crisis, there were no scenes of a reunion between her and the FL, We just got a fast-forward to the next life. The first few episodes especially is almost exclusively the male and female lead with other characters sprinkled in here and there. While I understand why, since the focus is the love story between the leads and time was limited, it was still irritating because I wanted to know! What happened? Were they still close friends? Did they talk at all? That was the only place the story felt lacking for me.
I loved watching the cool fight scenes, as far as I care both male leads are total yandere characters for their female lead. I'm also not usually a fan of 'lifetimes' stories, I tried it with web novels and gave it up, but I surprisingly loved this. Maybe because everything was always connected.
I assure you there are thousand times worse men out there that do bad things for no other reason than pure enjoyment.
Sorry 😂😂 but yeah I've had to quit cdramas because of weird male leads. I only watch the cute and fluffy ones when I can but even those can be a trap 🙃
I'm stuck at episode 1. The directing is so 90's majang drama with over the top situations, my eyes were alreay…
You'd be surprised. A girl and guy I know were set up on a blind date arranged by their moms who were friends. The guy asked to marry her after the first date. Of course it didn't happen immediately and she took a while to say yes but a year later they were married with a kid.
Other than them all having a supernatural elements, in goblin there's a supernatural male lead and a human female lead and it seems to mirror this story for a lot of people because of the problems they have to face, the female lead in that one also has the threat of death hanging on her and they have to figure out how to save her.
As for Tunnel and Bong Soon, it's only the supernatural part that they have in common. Doom is a slow burn with a bit of tragedy in the middle (since the female lead is dying) but I appreciated everything about it to the end.
If you mean the drama listed above, yeah I watched it till the end. Goblin would be the closest to it though you've probably watched it since it seems everyone has.
I don't know anything else similar but I can recommend Tunnel (and strong woman do bong soon which you might have also watched.) They're the two best dramas with supernatural elements that I've seen besides this and Goblin.
I understand youth of may is a tragedy. I saw a YouTube video that summarizes the whole thing. Not sure I'll actually watch it. But I've heard of mouse, I'll check it out, thanks 😊
Really don't understand the hate this drama is getting. I came here because I wanted to meet other people who liked the drama but I actually have to search for them. Maybe I'm the weird one? Because other kdramas I think are trash only have positive top comments and reviews. I watched this overnight and ended up giving up on sleep because I just wanted to get to the end already! I didn't skip any parts and I plan to rewatch. (Well, I did skip the parts with the Canadian character, it's always so awkward in kdramas when foreigners appear since they don't know Korean in all but one case I watched (where he spoke fluent Korean and was part of the main cast) because it was like they were speaking different conversations with him in English and them in Korean, I don't think they understood each other much.)
I've watched none of those, know Vincenzo, but I watched this drama in one sitting overnight, over a year since I've watched any kdrama, over two years since I've watched a drama without skipping chunks of useless story. I think it's just a matter of taste and the people who helped the high rating were people who loved it.
I just feel like NJN should still have winded up with LHG. I started becoming invested in their relationship,…
I'm actually really happy with how the pairing ended because her story was just too sad. She was hung up on her memory of him not necessarily on him, and did so much to try and meet him, kept looking for him for years. While the only reason he wouldn't appear in front of her was because he didn't want to feel humiliated. It took him 10 years to make any effort, I'd just cry for her if she ended up with him. Chemistry doesn't really matter if there's too much pain to get over, plus relationships look different, they won't all have obvious chemistry but they're still perfect for each other.
Why did Kim Saram die? I thought the contract was invalid so the person she loved the most wouldn't have to die?…
He mentioned in an earlier episode that if she refused the terms of the contract (have him destroy the world) that he could simply move the doom from her (so she won't die) and it would fall on the person she loves most, in the end it was him. Also, I think when they remembered each other that the original contract was back on, since the whole point of them forgetting each other was to void it.
The story is actually from a novel of the same name and the description used here seems to be the novel one, since a lot of scenes were changed or omitted for the drama. Hopefully if season 2 comes out there'll be more about his mom and the mystery part of the story.
As someone who read the manhwa before finding out there was a drama for it, I thought the characters were played out well by their actors. I especially loved Cha Eunwoo and his portrayal of do kyung suk, because its exactly like that in the manhwa, someone cold, stoic and awkward, but kind and straightforward as well. He never melts in the manhwa like in the drama, cha eunwoo at least smiled while the manhwa character was pretty much blank faced for nearly all the scenes in the manhwa. He was my favorite in this drama to the point of overshadowing everyone else. I wasn't completely happy with the ending for both manhwa and drama, but overall I enjoyed them both.
I skipped so many parts in the first 16 episodes alone and I don't think it's the drama for me. Way too melodramatic. I like the male lead, I feel sorry for SeokJin and wish things took a different route, but that's about it for me with this story. I can't skip through 118 episodes just for the male lead. If anyone could give spoilers or a quick summary of what happens with everyone in the end, I'd be so grateful.

Wish we could see more of both couples. The second especially could have been leads in their own drama.
