WHAT THE FOX SAY? (sorry, but I couldn't let this pass)
I have to learn when to stop with this kind of drama. Since the beginning, I had the feeling that I would cry as I did with "Goblin" and my expectations were totally right. I saw the last episode yesterday and my head still hurts because of all the cry.
As I said on first impressions, I'm not a fan of fantasy dramas, but some points catch my attention in this one and made me keep going. One of the things was Ji Ah (Jo Bo Ah). How I loved this girl and her personality! Ji Ah wasn't a common female lead at all! Her courage was impressive and the determination to find her parents and keep at Lee Yeon's side was a high point to me and make me wanna see how everything would end. Lee Yeon (Lee Dong Wook) also was a great character. I always laughed at his sarcasm and his intense protection for the people he loved. Lee Rang (Kim Bum) was a beautiful surprise, I caught myself cheering for him even when he did bad things, only because his charism was amazing. These characters moved me until the end, and of course my baby Jung Shi Yool. I LOVE THIS KID! The plot with Ki Yoo Ri (Kim Yong Ji) and Gu Shin Joo (Hwang Hee) didn't make me fall in love with them. I loved Yoo Ri's personality, but I thought their relationship kinda forced in some moments. I thought cute, I smiled, but wasn't a remarkable thing.
The story caught me many times and make me very anxious about the next episodes, but my big problem was the last episodes. I won't spoiler it here because this review is spoiler-free, but I'll let in a comment below finalized with SPOILER (if you are reading this on the page of the drama, you can search this post on my profile). Besides the last episodes, all the story is very consistent and very good writing. I think that for a Korean person that knows all the culture and legends, everything could make more sense and be more clear in some points. I noticed that sometimes I was lost with all the stories because I wasn't familiar with the legends, so I just didn't catch many details. But this wasn't important to follow the story, I thought that maybe just could give me a better experience.
I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this drama after all the process, but I never rate a drama only based on the last episodes. This definitely was a "pretty good show" walking into "amazing", so I'll put an 8,5 (★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★/2).
I will write about "Start-up" soon! I finished many dramas these days so I'm a little overloaded, but tomorrow I'll write and after that, I'll write my first impressions of "Her private life"! Many things to the next days! Follow the posts and share them!
If you wanna know my opinion about the end WITH SPOILERS, you can read the comment below. If you didn't watch it yet, save it for later!
See you soon!
XOXO, Mari.
