Well I guess you get a whole lot of watchers who want to enjoy this but end up just felling meeh... < if this was not me 🤣 i did drop it, but I truly tried my best to like it.

Everything you said we got from episode 9 🤡 that's literally my point - they drop information in one go, instead of leaving hints so the viewers can piece them together themselves with each episode.

there is no drop of information, but there is a waterfall of questions. That's the thing - I prefer a story that slowly uncovers details, that then create a whole picture. Here they are not giving any true answers to anything, and it seems like they will just drop all the answers on one go closer to the end.

My point is, they should have shown bits and pieces throughout all episodes, rather than dump all the relevant information at the end of 2nd half ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The whole scene on the bridge was done so beautifully and romantically and I felt NOTHING 🤡😅

Dropped.
While the story is interesting, they are failing at telling it. It feels like watching few different dramas stitched together.
Instead of slowly giving any answers for anything, they just adding more and more questions. The pacing just seems uneven and disconnected. They should have give us more past story flashbacks, be it in dreams, or literally flashbacks for example as an aftermath of casting spells, or during spells casting, so we understand there is this grand connection between them. Because one blurred dream flashback Jang Shin Yu had till episode 9 is just not enough - I truly mostly forgot there even is the past life background it was so irrelevant so far.

Also, the idea that I am still confused if the spells work or not killed the romance for me. I did not get attached to them as a couple because I did not know if the feelings are even real, so now even if they clearly told me the spells never worked, it's too late for me to start caring ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Overall, 9 episodes in and it still feels all over the place 😭
Sadly, saying my goodbyes.

refusing to become a "trope victim" while "sacrificing" others for the greater good - and wishing them all the happiness in the world! < all these scenes were truly comedy goals 🤣

glad it was entertaining to read 🤣🤣

it's literally character regression. Instead of them showing her SLOWLY learn how to think of herself, starting from small things that do not truly cause anyone any harm, they are showing her being "selfless" in these ridiculous situations...

If they wanted to keep viewers liking Yae they should have created a fucking better conflict than a random bitch showing up saying she wants to make Takumi fall in love with her, coz she likes him and they had ONE FUCKING DATE IN HIGH SCHOOL! The fact that Yae even considers this as a serious matter she should help with, and the fact she started to lie to Takumi coz of that, AND THE FACT SHE DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT HOW TAKUMI FEELS AND ONLY FOCUSES ON SOME RANDOM BITCH I JUST INFURIATING.

By now... Takumi is too good for her. She needs some long term intense therapy, not a husband.

they work on paper, but they are not characters in drama, they are real people and they are obviously not having romantic feelings for each other. And there is a difference between viewers shipping them based on what's showed and the writers, producers and MCs of said show trying to push narrative that there is something going on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

okay, while I am fine with them showing Jimin and Hushin because they obviously had feelings for each other and there is a potential of dating outside of the show, they putting Jiwon and Jumi together too is just uncomfortable.

from the synopsis, she will probably "go missing" episode 2. She is only a supportive role, and I think her whole existence is just for the set up and nothing more.

yeah i skipped till the end of the episode. suuuuuuuuuuuure a girl doing all the dancing and wearing a school unform 3 sizes too small was 8 months pregnant, this makes sense 🤡🤡🤡

i have no fucking idea what's up and I'm not sure I want to be on this boat.

*one hour later*

Okay so I watched first hour of episode 1 and yeah.. I am out. Yeeting myself out of the door, shutting them behind me, dropping the key in the Pacific ocean and moving to a different planet just to be sure 🤡

damn me and makjang truly do not match 🤣🤣
BUT THE CAST IS SO GOOD! 😭😭😭

you know what drama I want to watch Whatever happened in that opening shot - give me death game on the island with all these characters and that I would binge with no sleep 🤣

the scenes of him re-learning how to behave like a human were truly amazing - great set up for a lot of good jokes

it's sad that the only thing the show had to offer writing wise is a few cute scenes here and there 🙃 but it's truly it's quite enjoyable for the attractive cast and good chemistry

i did not even think about it, but you are right... we truly know close to nothing about Choi Jun 🤡🤣 why do i find it funny tho? like .. full drama and we only know like 3 random facts...

i feel like they both were rather dumb 🤣

honestly all that. i picked it up again after dropping, coz i had only 3 episodes left and well... what a waste of time 🙃

everything you said is laterally not set up well in the drama itself. explaining the context and family dynamics, connection between families etc. is important for the storytelling reasons. Not everything can be left with "it's a cultural thing" especially since the same cultural values are less and less dominant in mainstream media in Korea. It's most likely dominant in the actual society, but it's not in the entertainment industry and stories they present.
