Originally the story had great potential. There were six kids that were chosen to become the core, six. These six kids were suppose to be gifted and extremely talented, they were suppose to change the world. But as the story went on, WTF happen to the build up of the six core, the pack that these kids made together to stand together against all diversity and help one another until the end of time. It was no where in sight, there was no sisterhood or brotherhood love as promised in the first two episode as the drama progress. Nope just a lot of back stabbing and manipulation between the characters.

Problems with the plot: or holes in the plot:
For starter, I don't understand the purpose of the purple eye characters. It was said that the people with purple eyes were suppose to be lucky and bring luck and prosperity to which ever Kingdom they belong too, but that was not the case. The prince from the foreign kingdom with the purple eyes spent the rest of his life longing for the FL who did not pick him and he did not achieve anything great or renowned. The second Purple eye character was also a busted. She was a villainous snake, that should have been given green eyes instead. She was spent the first of drama being confused,then the remaining as a resentful and vengefully person. Yes, life dealt her a dirty hand , but she blamed everyone for her own mistakes and never owned up to any mistakes that she ever made even as the story progress. She marries the dad but loves the son and then blames her older sister for sealing the man that she loves, unbeknownst that the person she was actually in love with was the twin of the ML. But even after she Finds that out she still continued to hurt all those around her, including the ML twin the only male character who truly and only loves her.

Why everyone fell in love with the FL. There was absolutely nothing extraordinary about the FL, she was only smart when the scripted needed her to be. She was very dumb whenever the script did not need her too be smart. She was not extremely memorable. Don't get me wrong the actress did a great job, but the script she was dealt was DAF. She in my opinion did not posses any like able traits to make all the good looking young guys fall in love with her. Like other FL characters from other dramas. She wasn't a strong Female lead, or the smartest, overall she was like your average Joe. I did not understand why they were so madly in love with her.

The fighting skills of the Female Cast: Like how they only needed the FL to be smart when it best served the script, the same thing can be said about the Female characters fighting skills. They were only good fighters when it serves to fit the script, when it did not fit a particular part or scene, their fighting skill is a joke, considering that they were the creme of the crop, of their group during their training days. It was embarrassing to watch them constantly getting their ass kicked when it best fitted the boring script or their lack of talent to fight despite training for 10 long years!

Too many characters: Too many characters, that the plot is all over the place, trying to tell everyone story and trying to tie them back together is ridiculous. It better to have fewer and better developed character. Characters are forgotten and their purpose in the original designed is distorted and becomes absolutely meaningless. The younger cousin was train to become the leader of the core six and that never happen. The six kids never changed the world like they were suppose too.

The Chemistry between the FL AND ML. Yes, the meet at the beginning when they were younger but for the first 16 episode there is very little interaction between them and how they fall in love with one another is very awkward and honesty, I quite don't understand how and why they fell in love with one another when the second ML and FL are more compatible in my personal opinion.

The ML also wears way more makeup then the female lead. And her magic ability to heal his leg is so.... unbelievable.... along with her ideas, that magically just appears when need. Although she was like 9 when supposedly like nine when her skill....


And so on there are so many other problems with the plot that I can stand..... Don't waste your time. It was a poorly written plot with some good looking character.

Take my advice spend your time watching something else. Not worth the time investment.
