Poorly written characters, shallow plot.

So this drama is NOT worth the time, unless you're a huge fan of the actors and you want to watch it just for the sake of watching it. But by no means be excited to fall into a well written story, because this drama is not.

There are soooo many things wrong with this drama, all the characters are petty, and very juvenile, It makes the whole story feel shallow. I don't blame the actors it was %100 the "adaptation" from the manhwa, but lord have mercy on the story. It makes no sense, it goes all over the place leaving a bunch of unanswered questions. That is of course until the end where they try to wrap everything up nicely, and answer all those questions, but it turns out super sloppy and rushed.

Once again on our poorly written cast, the main female char. was unbearable and her attitude toward this borderline toxic relationship had me concerned. Left me with a bunch of questions, thinking why she wouldnt stick up for herself in some strange situations. The main male char was super petty and annoying, boasting that he is a god and all that but kinda being useless.

It took me 3 times to fully run through this drama, and the only reason I picked it up once again was because it came out on netflix (Can). The reason to that, is because there is nothing memorable about this drama. No chemistry between actors or and scenes that really moved me ( there were some good moments in the episodes I never saw through previous attempts.). I also wasn't feeling a lot of the music, there was only 1 song I liked.

Aside from the bad stuff, the first maybe 7 episodes I enjoyed, I like the standoffish character traits at first, but it just got tiring after a while. The Cgi was pretty good with the water stuff, but don't get me started on underwater swimming scenes. The secondary actors or the supporting actors I really liked I wish we could get more of them, i felt like some of them had better stories than the main chars.

I feel like this drama butchered the actual manhwa and its sooo sad. I really wanted to like this drama but the story fell very short.
I wont recommend this drama to anyone considering.

This is based off my taste and I don't fault the people who enjoyed~
