My Honest Review (it may not be considered spoilers, but just in case)

I just finished watching this and I'm going to give my honest honest review.

While i have to agree with some of the thing other review mentioned, i still enjoyed this show

So this is my thoughts

1. My biggest thing is that, everyone was upset about a particular death of a character, but tbh that chacaters though had great development i understood why they had to die, even though it was a choice, there life got messed up and they became evil, and killed a lot of people, this person is also the one who released that bad guy, for his own reason, he also was living on lives of humans, but his chacaters developed and he started to change. But i guess if you look at it as i guess paying for your sins then you could understand that it was kind of his punishment. I know it sounds harsh, but i understood it that way and also about the choice, he did it for the person he loved the most. But the good thing is, they came back at the end, though not the same, but i find there incarnation life would be better for them, they would'nt have to go through the bad things they did, so gim giving his life really was better for him, cause before he knew he was going to hell.. his destiny changed after that choice.

2. The acting was pretty good to me, Lee dong wook and kim bum especially did a great job, FL did a great job when she had to shift to the other bad role, the side characters all did a great job as well, it was different seeing the villain, never seen him as a villain but he did a good job to me.

3. I really liked the story, its different from the other gumiho stories, i loved all the different myths and folklore, and the fantasy that it had incorporated, and the action as well, that's what kept me.

4. Tbh i would have to somewhat agree, at first the chemistry of the leads was great, but as you go on i honestly skipped some of there scene, only in one episode though, i guess it may be because of some cliches. I actually enjoyed the action and fantasy more than the romance, but there interactions was good, they had some great moments and mannnnn there first rain kiss scene was epic!!!! lool the leads, they did a great job, but i cannot deny that i felt a lack of chemistry at some point.

5. I also somewhat agree with other reviews regarding the FL, she was soo good at the start and so independent, but then idk what happen, i kinda understand though, cause she went from being in her only human world, to now seeing and being around mythical creatures and so on, she was a mere human, not sure what else she could have done. For that i wish they had wrote something better for her, in those parts. But she did a great job either way.

So, although i I wouldn't rewatch this, there is plenty of shows that i loved and wouldn't rewatch lool. But it does not mean it was bad. I loved all the fantasy stuff and the acting, i loved the story of the brothers, my only issue tbh is the lack of chemistry between the leads, later in the series, but they tried and they had some great moments. I loved the last scene, some people say no, but whether it has a season two or not, the last scene was just really awesome to finish it off. Just know, its a better ending scene than vagabond if you seen it lool

Soo...

If you're going for the romantic, although it wasn't as i expected, it was not bad, so that's going to be your choice, there interactions were really cute though. bromance is good between the brothers, they did a phenomenal job!!!

If you're into fantasies, supernatural and so on, then this is full of that, watch this drama.

I'm a hopeless romantic and i actually skipped some of the romance in one of the later episode, maybe 15 lool. It wasn't because it was bad, it was a few typical scenes. I guess for me, I was enjoying the fantasy, the mystery and suspense so much.

My lowest review ever, unfortunately.

So, where should i begin. I was minding my own business enjoying this 70 episode Cdrama, and then the final episode came, and the last 5 mins of the show, and that ruined everything for me.

This could has easily become one if the great historical drama out there, the acting was phenomenal, i loved the ML and i loved the FL, i loved the story, i loved the chemistry and relationship between the leads as well. i loved the costumes and all the political stuff too, and I don't usually like those, but it was great.

But.... like are you kidding me, after everything that happened, the way it ended was sooo sad and disappointing. I kinda understand that there was too much animosity between the fallen kingdom and the current one, but to end like that, after all the ML did to save and protect her, after so many people died for her, I couldn't think anything else but that I ⁷wasted 70 hours of my life for such a sad and depressing ending. Maybe if it had been done a different way, but the way it was done, it wasnt worth it for me. That last scene with FL it ruined all for me and i felt like i wasted my time. They went through way too much and too many people died for her to end that way.

We all have our own preference, so the ending isn't a happy one, not only that its just tragic so watch on your own accord.
