Good Premise Bad Execution
I enjoyed the premise of the show. I love opposite aesthetic opposite personality couples and I like fantasy and all of that. To me this just fell flat.
What I liked:
Costumes. The costumes for every character made sense but didnt feel too cliche and they didnt look super cheap.
Visuals. The visuals were quite beautiful. They were well done and felt very dreamesque.
Music. Music wasnt that special, but I liked it.
Side characters. The side characters were for the most part well written and while the most time wasnt spent on them, they werent boring or forgettable.
What I didnt like:
Plot. The plot was decent at first, but after about episode 20 where they go to the human realm it falls off. Shit about destiny and tribulations and an irritating amnesia arc with the female lead that leads her to hate the male lead. BORING YAWNING SLOPPY.
Worldbuilding. In theory the world sounded cool, but literally nothing was built up. Destiny books were never explained, the conflict between the Moon Tribe and Fairies was never explained all that well. A lot of stuff was never properly introduced and just felt like it was shoved in there to seem cool or for plot devices.
Main characters. I wanted to love them so bad, but the female lead is sooo whiny and annoying for most of the show. I love me a good badass female lead, and she was not one. The male lead was badass and an interesting character at first, but once he got his emotion tree fixed he became just as annoying as the female lead.
Ending. The ending was so rushed. Male lead gets mega killed and then mysteriously pops back up despite being "dead for good" come the fuck on. Dumb as hell.
TLDR: if you like cliches with a million plotholes, this is your shit. if not, i wouldnt bother.
