The overall storyline isn't difficult to understand. It's the references to some characters and their actions that can be better understood if one knows about Korean folklore. I used to watch it while it was on air and some people here used to explain it and a lot of things made more sense after knowing the backstories of those characters which are not shown in the drama.

If it was so then this drama would have had 8.8 rating like totnt S2 and shop for killers.
8.4 is just the average rating for a watchable good enough drama and isn't considered to be amazing or great.

And months later people will move on and ship them with other actors. It's not that big of a deal.

The director never said hyeyoon is ugly. He only told she needs to take care of her appearance along with her acting and going by sol's look before he replaced the old director, he might have meant she needs to take care of the character styling and not let other people have full control over her styling.
You seems to have some unresolved problem with wooseok it seems. He literally played sunjae perfectly and cha eun woo and other pretty boys should learn from him on how to improve acting skills instead of relying solely on being pretty mannequins.

It's a rom com and it served the rom com well which you also agree. The drama don't claim to be more than that anyway. So how is it overrated? It served what it's supposed to serve and nailed it and people who watched it for what it is loved it.

This drama is so bad that even after my obsession with byeon woo seok after LR, I don't feel the need to finish the last 3-4 episodes. I tried to watch this drama while it was onair only because of the 3 mins cameo by minmin and bongbong and carried to till 11-12 episodes simply because I wanted to finish what I started but didn't find the strength to finish it even after so many months and being obsessed with bws.

Did bws shoot for strong girl nam soo and LR at the same time?

After goblin he didn't have a single drama rated below 8 and before goblin be didn't had a single drama rated above 8. Goblin changed his entire career around.

I loved everything except how the original mountain god was brought back. Moo young was sensible enough to understand everything if he knew exactly what happened to his brother and he would have never brought back the Original one. I don't understand why that old lady kept her mouth shut till it was too late. It made zero sense.
I also wished there was atleast one scene between the 1938 Yeon and the present day Yeon in the last episode. That one scene at the start was hilarious. The dump face ldw makes is hilarious.
Even though jiah only appeared as a cameo, her presence was felt at times because of how much Lee Yeon is in love with her and the last scene was perfect. They look great together.
If Lee rang got back with Lee Yeon in 1938 won't that change the future and that snake villain would never appear in the future since rang helped to revive imoogi. 1938 Yeon stayed with rang and they went back to being like they used to be.
I died laughing at some scenes.

Why is there no news of S3?
Lee dong wook has to do S2 of shop for killers and S3 of totnt asap. I liked both the dramas.

I was talking about kim young dae. He was the ml of forbidden marriage and park ju Hyun was the fl.

Why do you want realistic script in a fantasy time travel rom com?
A 19yr old boy don't need indepth character analysis to fall for a girl and sunjae has given more than enough reasons for sol to fall in love with him. Sunjae is shown to be someone who gets 100% dedicated to anything he sets his heart and mind into. So him being always in love with Sol is very much in character.
Sol is a walking talking ball of sunshine. Obviously an introverted guy like sunjae will fall for her instantly and she has supported him and made him move on from his swimming career. The second time travel is were their entire relationship went from crush to love.
There will always be a set of 'many people' who will find anything and everything overrated. There might not be a single drama on mdl that's not considered overrated by a set of people. What matters is how many people enjoyed watching the entire drama and a vast majority loved this drama and it has high re-watch value.

The drama literally is filled with chartbaster osts.

Explain what? How he was two timing for more than 6 months and how he is a spineless coward?

You were looking for realism in a fantasy thriller?

I will never get fls getting criticised for the smallest of things. Jiah didn't make a single stupid decisions or put herself in danger on her own but still people were mad at her for not being good enough to destroy a supernatural creature on her own. Like people completely forget the fact that she is a barely 30yr old human being. Lee Yeon with all his powers had to figure out things on his own at times.

She is dealing with creatures centuries older than her who are way more powerful and intelligent and smarter than her and on top of it she is possessed by the villain and still she survived on her own a lot of times.

Story is deeply rooted to Korean mythology and they don't really waste time to explain it for the international audience.

Lee Yeon is one of the coolest male leads ever in kdrama land. I like it when the supernatural character is shown to be as powerful as they are supposed to be.
It frustrates me when I watch dramas with supernatural characters but they end up without any of their powers or their powers being useless for 90% of the drama. One of the main reasons why I enjoy watching both the season is how smart and powerful Lee Yeon is. He is as powerful as the villains if not more.
S2 was on hold for a long time but I started again and I am loving it. I like the thriller aspect of this drama in both the seasons.
Lee dong wook is so convincing as supernatural creatures whether it's a grim reaper or a gumiho. He is that hot 🤭

Ep 7 reminded me of the trickster episode from supernatural

Even though overall it's just an abv avg drama I really liked the back story. It was shot really well and both of them acted good as well. Also ep 4-5 were a complete laugh riot. I never thought rowoon will be this good at comedy.
