One of the best dramas I've watched
I'll start off by saying that I absolutely loved Hotel del Luna, so another drama by the Hong sisters was a must watch for me. And I think that they did not disappoint.
The story is so well crafted and creative. There are no glaring plot holes. Everything that happens or appears is tied into the story well without seeming forced. The romances were paced very well (not falling in love too fast). The characters don't make boneheaded moves that make me yell at my TV. Overall is a very well thought out story.
On the topic of the couples, I honestly really liked all of the side couples. Yes, the Dang Gu/Cho Yeon couple had very little actual development, but somehow ended up being one of my favorites.
As for the cast, Jung So Min and Lee Jae Wook really made this show what it is. They, along with the rest of the case, did such a good job with immersing me into the story.
The only thing that I didn't like is the ending. I got so attached to Mu-deok/Jung So-min, then you end it like that? I barely wanted to watch season 2 because of that.
Apart from my one complaint, this show was such a good production. The story kept me hooked the entire time. Everything was cohesive and purposeful. It was very well paced, episodes were a good length. I saw someone mention that it could have been half the length with the same story, however I really enjoy spending every possible minute with the cast/watching the show. I never found myself bored.
In a world of sloppy rom-coms, this show is such a breath of fresh air, with it's focus on the fantasy story and action scenes, all while still incorporating some of my favorite romances/couples. It's very rare that I find a show that I like this much.
