I think one lead getting a body swap is controversial enough as it is, if both of them end up in different bodies it would be a massive offputting wtf. But who knows, you can't trust Hong sisters...

If part 2 won't have a happy ending neither I'm gonna riot (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Is he similar to Bu-Yeon now? She also wasn't supposed to live and was birthed with the ice stone's help.
Or will they have to AoS his soul into another body at the end?
Implications are unpleasant.
😬😨

Also, whatever is going on with Yul is giving me bad vibes, he may very well go down like many a SMLs in romantic saeguks.

Why are you wasting time here writing walls of text instead of simply watching it to write an informed opinion after? It is incomplete right now, watch at least few more episodes 🙄. Everyone's tastes are different, no matter what people say here, it will not change your own opinion.

One more teaser:

And they didn't forget about the tree! They'd better get up there at some point, it's a must!

I disagree about FL needing much character development here, as she was already a nice person who was faced with dire, deathly problem. All she needed was to grow some balls aka. courage and thick skin to achieve her dream and she did it by having plenty of practice with ML 😂. And early episodes with her were great, they did show her going through famous five stages of grief, seriously contemplating her circumstance and having a profound revelation at the end. Then came that resolutional plot twist at the end of episode 7, her predisposition towards ML changed and the plot started focusing on ML's character development more. I'd say this drama is structured well.

That's mages uniform. And also, Daeho fashion.

I dunno, watch it again then? FL's frustrations and antagonistic behavior towards ML in the first third of this drama were very understandable to me. After all, she was told she's gonna die soon and there is a saying that stress is the cause of all disease. And it's not like she was the sole receiver of his nasty temper - there's a whole ex-secretaries club after all. And his other workers were absolutely terrified of him as well.
And she didn't hurt him with that hammer or ran him over with a car, did she? Her revenge was mainly petty pranks. And I wrote above that you'll see her kind character even in her revenge bouts. Just keep watching.

And this drama doesn't rush character exposition, but doses it expertly through the episodes. And both leads undergo great character development here. But again, if you can't tolerate this drama's characters - drop it.

1. There's ML's ex from 12 years ago, she's is one of the antagonists, but he's very negative towards her and never shows interest in getting back together.
2. They start dating in episode 12.
3. There's no breakup.

Alright, I'm not gonna read all of that giant wall of text. But in short, FL's health problems were due to severe stress at work, after she learnt that she has nothing to lose she stopped putting up with ML's bs and her headaches got better after a while. I guess revenge is a good stress reliever and also there's a plot twist about her illness in episode 7.
As for her personality, she's an introvert and generally is a timid scaredy cat. Her friend and family mentioned she's usually very kind and won't hurt a fly. And you can see that even in her quirky revenge on ML - how she spent his money on charities, helped other workers at Gotop, made ML reconcile with other people, etc.
Because of her stage fright she failed her initial instructor audition, but as the drama progresses she gradually starts having a different look on life after several revelations and finds newfound courage to pursue her dream in earnest. If you keep watching, you'll see how she achieves it. But if you don't like FL so much to write such a detailed wall of complaints then just drop this drama.

At this point are they even gonna do a proper Kang Chae Ri's background exposition? What's up with these half assed, spoon fed hints about her family history? Without full context her behavior just looks like some weird randomness, especially what she did in episode 14.
What's up with her? Her mother died and she has a bitch stepmother who hates her? Or what?

As for the other couples, OTP couple consistently stays boring and unconvincing. Also, that was the most kdrama style of falling from a building, how the ef she managed to fall, while drunk bitch landed safely on the balcony? 🤦‍♂️😂
Props to Han Ji Yun for feeding ML's face with a cake, about time she grew some self esteem.
The only couple I'm still mildly interested in is the chef and the webtoon artist, but it's unclear if anything pans out with between them.

I’ve watched too many episodes already, it’s too late for that.

The plot is boring and lead couple has little to none romantic chemistry. And the reality show gives me second hand embarassment with its cringe.

That was when she was still a small child, lol. She was trained as mage assassin ever since then.

I don't care about realism in media if it gets in the way of fun. This drama is just not fun to watch, it's plain boring. Media should be entertaining, ideally it should touch some strings in the viewers, so liking or hating it is better than feeling bored and indifferent. And media is escapism from reality, nobody wants to relax to depressing shit they can see everyday irl.

You mean compared to her badass old self when she was a mage assassin? But she lost and as of yet has not regained her magic powers. And from the teasers you can't tell whether she'll get her powers back along with her og body. Maybe she never will, because it is not known what happens to her yet, or how she got her og body back and at what cost. Her body may still possess two souls inside, with Bu-Yeon still blocking her powers. But it's not like she hasn't accepted her fate, after all, she gave up the chance to regain them for love.
Personally, I do wish she'd get her powers back and kill that slippery slytherin villain. He ruined her life the most, so she's the one who should off him for good.

As for the poster, I like it, it's very intimate. But I think I liked that first one with the jade eggs even more.

Lead couple are such a snoozefest to watch, good on their own, but 0 romantic chemistry together.
I'm on the verge of dropping this boring show, but I'm already 13 episodes in...

Go Won is a mild third wheeler compared to Yul, he's mainly there as an antagonist to ML and as comic relief. But who knows what he's gonna do when he sees Naksu in og body, he's a very petty character.

She was fished out from the lake by the Jin clan women, it was confirmed. And mama Jin ordered to find her alive to find out whose body she was possessing. So it's probably gonna be some artifact or some magical mumbo jumbo from Jin clan vault that resurrects her. Why her though and not Bu-Yeon - 🤷‍♂️

Under what log have you been sleeping? It was known even before part 1 finished airing.
