Plot is important, something the writer/director/whoever doesn't seem to understand but


..... its okay because the main heroine makes up for it, oh wait no she doesn't.

Three episodes in and I'm majorly struggling. To be fair though, I can be kind of picky but this drama was something else. The first episode was fine. Everything after that went downhill so, so fast.

Where is the plot, people? Where???

This drama has no storyline and it has about 3 main characters, one of which I couldn't care less about. The other characters are so much on the peripheral that they literally have one task in the show each, whether that's solely to listen to the main hero (Winter King) complain or to constantly comment on how weird the main heroine is (dude who works for her).

The main heroine is also realy boring, they haven't developed her character at all and it doesn't seem like they will in the next couple episodes either. She's so hung up on main guy protecting her even though in the first ep she was like, I dont need you anymore. When she was a kid, she used her umbrella. 25 years later and she still has that same umbrella and no self defense/ fighting training at all. You can see why im not convinved that if i stick around for more episodes, they'll give her some growth. They couldn't even do that in 25 years.

Plus idk why we'd even root for her. She has no personality apart from wanting to be protected. If you've watched Master's Sun, then you know that the main girl was absolutely terrified of ghosts but she still aways tried her best to help them. The main heroine here does not. Oh i mean sometimes she'll squat next to a ghost of a child and give him popcorn but that's it.

Also, also, the fact that she has no friends/family. Like i get they want to make her pitiable but now she has no personality AND no people around her. She doesn't even seem to sad about it actually, so why should we?

I really like the main dude though. Until they forced him to fall in love in a desperate attempt to have some sort of plot, ugh. And the soundtrack has been awesome. But that's about it.

I feel like I’m going to be disappointed

im obviously not even half way through this drama but I had really high expectations after reading the reviews and seeing its rating . However it took me a week to get to ep 3, not really attention catching in the beginning. My first impression are that the story line is interesting but a bit off; really weird takes and lines, sometimes funny but an example close to the end of episode 3, once you watch is completely cringe and unrealistic (yes it’s fantasy genre but even in this world was unrealistic). Can’t say much yet, but it’s my first review and I really had the urge to post this as I love reviewing stuff but don’t normally get the courage to don so.
I’m still giving it a go because I believe in the potential it has since the characters integrate you and capture curiosity. Hope it catches my attention and gets me to finish it.

I abandoned watching this show because the main female lead was just so uninteresting. Her character was too reserved for my liking and she was so emotionless!

The first two episodes were really good because of how the main lead was villainous towards the female lead and very ruthless in wanting to eat her to gain power. He also tried manipulating her into suicide by using her loneliness against her so he could eat her. I also liked how the female lead had spunk in the beginning, and the tension between them was so intense. As soon as the main ML got the love bracelet on him which essentially makes him fall in love with the main FL until she removes it (thus preventing him from killing her), he became so dull. The narrative would have been way better had he fell in love with the main FL naturally instead of doing so bc of the love bracelet. Both of them were so dull. The FL was so annoying as she continuously throughout the show she questioned If the ML if he really loved her when it’s obvious his feelings towards her was because of the bracelet. In addition, she was too forgiving of the ML. GIRL HE MADE SAUCES TO EAT YOU. Not only that, but she is apparently the CEO which is not believable as her history of seeing ghosts prevented her from functioning in real life and so I failed to believe how she attained that position of power. Also she is constantly chasing after ghosts, so how does she have the time to run a company??? She also had one employee, that’s it

The FL ruined the show for me. She was just too lifeless. My favorite characters were the side ones especially the devil king, his assistant and Richie. But it wasn’t enough for me to continue sadly.

Mi è piaciuta l’interpretazione dell’attore protagonista, un po’ meno quello dell’attrice protagonista, totalmente oscurata dal protagonista. La storia di Woo Ma Wang è davvero molto romantica e molto bella, tanto quanto quella dei protagonisti. Anche il personaggio dello zombie è molto carino. Gli effetti speciali lasciano un po’ a desiderare, mentre i luoghi scelti per girare, tipo la libreria e la grotta sono belli e romantici. Si perde un po’ nel finale ma quando, negli ultimi 5 minuti, Son Oh Gong gli regala il suo occhio rosso per ritrovarla, ovunque sia, scusatemi ma è stato top!!!!

Ha assolutamente dei difetti questo drama, ma non riesco a non dargli un punteggio alto. Sinceramente al momento è la mia serie coreana più bella vista in assoluto, e nonostante il finale mi preoccupasse (mentre lo guardavo girando vari forum mi sono "spoilerata" il fatto che il finale non fosse proprio il classico happy ending) quando l'ho visto in realtà mi ha soddisfatta, in quanto rispecchia perfettamente il "mood" (passatemi il termine) del drama. È un finale si aperto, ma sappiamo tutti che il Grande Saggio pari del cielo la ritroverà sicuramente, è impossibile pensare il contrario. In più, se Sam-Jang fosse effettivamente sopravvissuta sarebbe comunque rimasta un'umana che avrebbe continuato il corso della sua vita si assieme a Son Oh Gong, ma prima o poi sarebbe morta, e sarebbe comunque stato un finale dolce-amaro. Invece donandole un suo occhio e promettendo di andarla a riprenderla nell'oltretomba da al finale qualcosa di epico in linea perfettamente con la storyline che ci è stata proposta, per cui si, posso ritenermi soddisfatta.
Che cosa invece non mi è piaciuto?
In primis alcune animazioni erano veramente inguardabili. Anzi, quasi tutte. Quel drago era veramente agghiacciante.
La scena in cui Son oh Gong si toglie il bracciale è animata veramente male, ma vabbè lasciamo stare altrimenti inizio ad elencare ogni minima scena animata.
Parliamo di Sam-jang. All'inizio ci viene mostrata una donna che si ha sofferto molto per colpa del suo destino di salvatrice, ma cavoli, ci viene anche presentata come una donna forte! Perché nel corso degli episodi si rimbambisce sempre di più? Meritava sicuramente una caratterizzazione migliore, cosa che la maggior parte dei personaggi hanno avuto, addirittura alcuni personaggi secondari risultano più interessanti di lei.
Per quanto riguarda l'interpretazione di Lee seung gi nulla da dire se non che lui è stato il motivo principale per cui ho iniziato questo drama, il suo personaggio mi ha conquistata sin dal trailer e la sua recitazione è stata veramente ottima, in più in coppia con cha Seung Won forma una delle più belle bromance da me viste

Se le ost di questo drama vi portano dipendenza non preoccupatevi, è tutto normale

El elenco es grandioso

Historia

Me encantó todo el tema de sobrenatural y fantasía. La historia estuvo bien, me gusto (gracias al grandioso elenco) pero no la ame. No me llegaron al corazón sus historias de amor a través del tiempo y el destino. Tomaban decisiones para avanzar la trama cuando se podía hablar. Al menos avisar. (Varios capítulos fueron asi)
Pero aún así quería seguir hasta el final, a pesar de que lo que se avecinaba y me venían avisando por tantos capítulos anteriores. Tuvo un final abierto que no alimenta demasiado mí corazón, pero peor es nada.

Actuación/elenco
Los actores todos increíbles. Destaco al mono, el toro y el zombie (en modo zombie). Y el ayudante de la protagonista. La protagonista no me gusto mucho, no me gusto su personaje demasiado rígido. Así que su historia de amor no fue grandiosa para mí (necesitaba más amor) u otra pareja.

Musica
Me gusto una cancion en especial que su primera vez salió en los primeros episodios.

Valor de repetición
Recomendada. Mirala cuántas veces quiera. (Por mí, con una vez basta)

Les Dieux enpunition chez les humains...

Nous sommes constamment entre deux univers, les demi-dieux, démons et autres génies ont tous une apparence et un rôle dans le monde des Humains, mais bien sûr leur qualité divine entraîne pas mal d’effets secondaires. Ce ne sont pas vraiment de bons génies, ils se détestent entre eux, se jouent des tours pendables, ne se gênent pas pour se servir des humains sans trop les ménager. mais ils sont là pour avoir plus ou moins déplu et contrarié le Monde des Esprits ils n’ont plus tous leurs pouvoirs. Quelques humains vont se trouver mêlés à ce monde sans rien en savoir (sauf l’héroïne, qui connaît et voit les Esprits) .Il est impossible de résumer l’histoire tissée de nombreux fils qui donnent au final une tapisserie haute en couleur et très captivante.
Ce que j’ai vraiment aimé, ce sont les personnages, leur psychologie complexe, leur évolution, leur lutte contre leur destin, qui devient au fur et à mesure plus difficile et dangereuse. Mais par moment j’ai bien rigolé quand même, le personnage de Cha Seung Won en Roi des Diables/Directeur d’agence artistique est inénarrable et l’acteur est excellent dans un comique qui frôle le burlesque, mais peut aussi passer en mode « émotion » avec finesse et sensibilité, de temps en temps égoïste et cruel, puis généreux et amical. Son compère et ennemi déclaré (quelle bromance !! ) c’est Lee Seung Ki, le Grand Sage, lui aussi égoïste et cruel, (et l’acteur est au sommet de son talent, quelle évolution depuis Brillant legacy !) et lui aussi capable du meilleur et du pire. Mais bien sûr la retrouvaille avec Jin Sun Mi va lui apprendre que l’amour (nous y voilà !! ) possède une force que la magie ne peut égaler. Eh oui ! il y a bien une romance, à vrai dire )il y en a même plusieurs, la plus improbable étant entre une zombie en sursis et un Cochon/idol !) mais elle sont vraiment très bien faite, avec des moments très doux, puis touchants, puis très drôles, puis émouvants, puis déchirants…
La fin ? Elle est très belle, très bien écrite et construite, pas malheureuse, mais pas bisounours ni guimauve… Je l’aime autant que celle de Gu family book…
L’OST est excellente, pas mal de chansons mais elles ne m’ont pas gênées, pour moi c’est un compliment !
En résumé, drama très distrayant, plutôt addictif, qui m’a fait découvrir Lee Seung Ki, pour ma perdition !!

Dari judul maupun sinopsis sudah diketahui akhir cerita ini. T.T
Jadi sebelumnya saya belum berani menonton drama ini.
Tapi belum lama ini saya akhirnya memberanikan diri.
Dan tahu dari episode 1 pun lee seung gi tidak mengecewakan saya dengan aktingnya. \^-^/
Walaupun 20 episode cukup panjang.
Dan beberapa bagian emosi nya terlalu banyak diulang. (Apalagi bagian mempertanyakan kesungguhan cinta) :(
Tapi Cerita ini cukup memuaskan untuk dinonton kembali. :D
Sountrack yang enak didengar dan bisa langsung memberi visual dalam bayanganku.

Apa ada season 2 untuk cerita ini ?
Kalau ada akan ku tunggu. :)

ENTRETENIDA

La he visto dos veces. La primera vez me gustó más, quizás porque aún no había visto muchos dramas y me llamó la atención la historia y la estética. Sigo pensando que la historia no está mal, pero este segundo visionado me ha cansado un poco. Casi todos los actores lo hacen bien, tiene momentos muy divertidos, y la puesta en escena me gusta. Mi problema ha sido con la elección de protagonistas, que no me he creído la relación, no los he visto bien juntos. Que no tiene nada que ver con que actúen mal, no es el caso. Pero pienso que la historia a ratos iba muy lenta y luego el desenlace, que promete más acción y espectacularidad se queda en nada... Normalmente creo que pasa eso en los dramas, que para llegar a los 16 capítulos suele haber un par de ellos de relleno, más lentos (aunque en la mayoría no me molesta, sobre todo si los actores me gustan mucho).

Revendo o dorama

Eu ja tinha visto este dorama, a tempos atrás, e lembro que tinha gostado muito. Ultimamente ando revendo alguns, e este estava na pista. Eu continuei amando a maioria dos aspectos, mas nesta segunda vez, percebi que não curti muito o clima do casal principal. E olhando novamente, pare e que eles surfaram muito na trama de goblin, sucesso a 1 ano atrás da estreia de Odisseia Coreana; a divindade que tem destino selado com uma menina, esta cresce e acabado se apaixonando pela divindade (e vice versa), a menina que via fantasmas, o chamado da divindade quando a protagonista esta em perigo, e um do casal morre, e faz a promessa de reencontro. Os principais detalhes estão lá, e isto não é necessariamente é uma critica, obviamente maioria dos doramas seguem muitos cliches um do outro, mas é uma observação que so notei agora, por eu ter visto os dois doramas em uma sequencia de tempo curta, entao eu senti um tipo de repetição. Enfim, fora isso é como falei, não senti um sintonia do casal, não sei porque. Fora isso, história maravilhosa, eu gosto muito do personagem rei boi branco (Ma Wang), ele é de longe meu personagem favorito da serie, e por muitas vezes a história dele me emocionava mais doque a dos protagonistas principais, fora o carisma que este ator parece esbanjar em toda a cena que ele esta. Os secundários sao todos carismáticos também, em sua maioria. E embora eu tenha falando que, em poucas vezes, senti emoção no casal principal, ate hoje espero uma continuação deste dorama, pois o final deu brexa para isto, e eu queria muito ver Son fazer um fuzue no submundo e tirar a Ceo de la!

İzlediğim en tuhaf dramalardan biriydi,aslında hikayesi fena değildi ama o efektler berbattı ancak ilginç bir şekilde kendisini izlettiriyor bu drama.Lee Seung gi ye rol o kadar yakışmış ki şeytan kralla olan muhabbetleri çok güzeldi,başrol kıza çok fazla ısınamadım ,köpek sekreter,zombi,jeremy en iyilerden bazılarıydı.Genel olarak oyunculuklar için ve bu hikaye nereye gidiyor öğrenmek için izlenebilir.Dizinin en iyi kısmı soundtracklarıydı.When I saw you şarkısını her gün replay yapa yapa dinliyorum.Tekrar izleyebileceğimi sanmıyorum ama niye izledim bu dramayı da demiyorum,çerezlik niyetine izlenebilir.

Drama fantasy davvero bello.

L'ho rimandato visto che sapevo un po' che non sarebbe stato un drama leggero ma ho fatto male perché è il tipico drama che adoro.
Fantasy che più fantasy non si può,demoni, esseri superiori, spiriti malvagi, dei ,zombie etc in un intreccio con il mondo umano.Poi ovviamente non può mancare l'amore quello impossibile ma grande e qui supera l'inimmaginabile.Ci sono anche le risate quelle di gusto, un poco di bromance alla "goblin" che fa molto ridere.
I protagonisti bravissimi,pure quelli in secondo piano hanno il loro spazio nella storia.Ci sono baci quelli veri che tolgono il fiato.
Già dal inizio fa presagire un finale non roseo e così é ma non l'ho visto come una mancanza ma una conclusione giusta per tutta la storia.
Sarà anche vecchiotto come drama ma è davvero bello e merita di essere visto.
