I think we all love the King 😅

I think his pearl/core/ball/essence/orb, represents everything he is and everything he could become. It holds his elemental power, his immortality, and the spiritual energy he’s cultivated. It’s both his life force and his potential, the key to ascending and finally becoming a true dragon, or at least that's why it seems to be so powerful and important. but I still do not understand how consuming an orb from a being with element of water can help somebody with element of fire

About him he’s the classic example of someone stuck in a self-destructive loop. Even when things begin to go right, he instinctively sabotages them. It’s like he’s mentally conditioned to ruin anything good, then retreat into self-pity. That said, there’s a huge difference between quietly having feelings for someone you shouldn't and what he actually did. Painting her in such an indecent and objectifying way, especially for that era, goes far beyond immaturity. It’s the historical equivalent of photoshopping someone’s face onto a provocative image, invasive, inappropriate, and psychologically twisted. It reflects a distorted understanding of affection, control, and entitlement. Still, I do find this drama’s version of the character fascinating and hipe he will not go some boring path in the coming episodes

You’re right he’s definitely very insecure, and a lot of people would’ve had enough by now. But she truly loves him and understands his emotional immaturity in their relationship, and she’s willing to support him through it. My only issue is that there are too many filler scenes lately. They’re cute, but they’ve started to feel repetitive and with the ending so close, I’m just worried it’ll all get rushed at the end 😑

He’s a creature who watched his brother start to act more and more like a human, and he genuinely wanted to save him from that path. In the end, he even sacrificed himself for him. But you are right he was written dumb, for someone supposedly hundreds of years old, he was gullible, impulsive, emotionally immature… basically a human 😅 or lets call him for what he was, a plot device

It honestly depends on how many dramas you’ve seen. After a while, the patterns start to feel predictable and it’s not just personal opinion. most stories across cultures fall into a limited number of core plot structures. So yeah, there’s only so many storylines you can create. At some point, it’s less about being original and more about how well a show executes familiar ideas

I'm trying to imagine the ideal ending for this show. While I initially wanted the leads to stay together, ultimately, it bothers me if he doesn't become a full dragon and leave this body, which is not his. Since they talked so much about him sacrificing his orb/core/life, I don't think that will happen. So what do you think will or should happen at the end?

Yeah, he looks like a last-minute Halloween costume

The writing in this episode honestly didn't make sense. They really want us to believe that a being who has lived for hundreds of years, observed humans up close, and literally fed off their life energy (while judging them as corrupt and selfish) would blindly trust the shaman? Like… seriously? That's not wisdom; that's toddler-level emotional intelligence. And then, when the colossal shadow starts taking Bibi's core, everyone just stands there like statues or NPCs. I get that maybe they couldn't actually stop it, but the fact that they didn't even try made the whole scene fall flat. At least show them reacting, struggling, doing something. It would have made everything feel more intense instead of like a cutscene you can't skip. Also, why did she wait so long to scream at them to stop? The second she realised what was going on, she should have yelled, but instead, we got a few more dramatic fight shots before she finally said anything. It completely killed the momentum. For a big turning point, it all felt anticlimactic. And because this show doesn't have well-written lore, I would be surprised if they could even resurrect him once they kill the colossal shadow.

The one thing I appreciated was that they didn’t drag Bibi’s arc out too much. Ever since he showed up chasing immortality, it was pretty clear how it would end, especially with how K-dramas usually treat characters who go against nature or morality like that (by human moral standards). Still, I was hoping for something a bit more clever or meaningful. But what really bothered me was how the deities (creatures)were written. They’re supposed to be these ancient, powerful beings who didn’t only spend time meditating in middle of nowhere, but as well lived among humans for a long time. Bibi was literally going around draining the souls of elderly people; he interacted with humans constantly. And yet… they all act like emotionally stunted children? Like, they’re not human, sure, but why give them childlike reasoning or zero growth after centuries of observation?

Or Whispers of Glory, or the Glory of Fate, or Whispers of Blossoms, Blossoms of Fate 🤣🤣🤣

At least you managed to finish this mess; I just couldn't; it was physically hurting me to continue. Your review just made me remember why I stopped watching in the first place 🤣😅. So thank you for always reviewing 😊😀

I see Neo, and I go in a loop

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I started watching and completely forgot about the trope, enjoying it... and then, puff, they slapped the trope in my face 😅😅😅

The chairwoman looks so unhinged, yet interesting. I do enjoy her scenes 🤭

i really hate this trope because it is a shortcut in writing a relationship. They could have let the romance develop naturally, allowing her feelings to emerge later—perhaps when she discovers his real age and gets to know his real persona. As it stands, there’s no real reason for her to be infatuated with a high school student, even if he eventually reminds her of someone else (which wasn’t the case at first). At best, the audience can justify her attraction later, but the truth is, right now, she’s drawn to someone she believes to be a minor just because he’s good-looking 🥲

Hopefully, they won't go overboard, even if they unnecessarily include that annoying childhood friend/connection trope and the other trope at the end of the last episode 😅🥲

But why does it have to be a past connection trope between leads? I don't know why I dislike it so much; it always feels to me like a shortcut in writing a romance, the same as a childhood connection trope or past romance 😅 but whatever, didn't see Seo Kang-Joon for ages, fingers crossed it is a good drama, I'm here more for the action part of this drama

I think he is heading toward a very violent end 😅
