My way of choosing a new drama to watch is "Go with the flow" / all about timing. Sometimes you're going to try a new show and because you're not in the "right" mood or you don't get the hype of this airing drama, you'll eventually let it go. Days/months/(even years) later you are going to give it a try again "just because" and it's going to work.

Honestly, I don't remember why and how I started watching this show but again that was about TIME ! I LOVED IT !!
[THE STORYLINE]
Great storyline. The pace was well timed ! The story was moving. It is not a common rom-com story. All kind of emotions were delivered thoughout the show sadness, happiness, love... Music was used at the right time, episodes endings were well written. The intensity was there when it had too !
I liked the cross-dressing element, even though it did not last long ! Till the last episode I was still hearing Kim Widow's voice when Nodku was speaking lmao.
To me the most surprising thing was the evil reveal ! When I saw the SML I was about to support him because damn he's fine. But then his evil spirit was turned on and I didn't expect that at all. Until the end I was SO chocked like WTF did happen ?? ahah but he levelled up to his role.
[THE ACTING]
Great cast choices. ML and FM matched amazingly ! They had a real chemistry. Side characters supported the show greatly.
[THE ENDING]
Everytime I start a kdrama I'm always anxious about the final episode because god knows how they know how to ruin it lmao.
Finishing this show felt amazing ! Finally a drama where the ending is satisfying. That was soo logical regarding the storyline. Until the last minute I didn't know if it would be a happy or a sad ending. I even thought of dropping it... After all the characters had been through, all the intensity, a sad ending would have been hard to handle lmao.
[OST & CINEMATOGRAPHY]
I loved the OST and the scenery was wow. They found some great spots !
[FINAL THOUGHT]
This is a must-watch to me and one of the few shows that will make it to my re-watch list !
