Fun short story

This is quite a nice story to watch in a lazy afternoon without expecting anything from it. It's not the greatest but it's not the worst thing you'll watch ever. It was funny and had a sort of consistent plot. I liked the idea of deities of the destiny that write your destiny as they please, and the idea of lazy deities that just copy and paste the same old story over and over again.

The cast was absolutely eyecandy, from main leads to supporting characters. They had great acting and fit for the type of drama, as well as good chemistry between all the characters. The OST was nice and the scenarios were pretty nice, the whole drama was well-filmed, so it showed it had good budget, a nice director and writers.

The angsty parts were actually very funny for me and when Chaekyung was crying at the sheep farm I was actually laughing because they suddenly turned it so angsty and dramatic. Despite that, the story developed nicely and I liked the open ending hinting a repeated cycle of Hoyoon finding himself falling for her over and over again.

If you ignore the fact that many things weren't properly explained (who lets the deities be born again, why do they disappear if they're going to be born again, why could Chaekyung get to the penthouse after 5 years, how could Chaekyung and Bareum write their own destinies other than being "their own") due to the length of the drama and overall simpleness, it was quite a fun short fantasy drama and I would definitely recommend it to get a break from longer-running dramas.
