The perfect depiction of importance of life and death

With its interesting plot line and side stories, stellar acting, lovable characters, soulful OSTs, amazing cinematography and the evident hard work put into it by the staff and the writer, this drama deserves all the hype and high ratings it continues to get till this date.

This drama has an eternal, ethereal beauty to it. The final scene was warm and happy and sweet. From the story to the cinematography, characters to their relationships everything had this unique, exquisite, attractive feel to it.

The characters were so well written, especially Ji Eun Tak/ Goblin's Bride (I know many people found her annoying but she is one of the best depicted mortal characters in here, I thought deeply about her character and she turns out to be the best out there) and of course, Kim Shin. The OSTs were exceptional and soulful. I literally know each and every soundtrack by heart.

This drama might have been slow paced, I don't know for this was my first drama, but the entire time was dedicated to the development of the characters and their stories.

The acting was extraordinary. The lead actors, along with supporting actors, were exceptional in portraying their role. I literally ship Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun and Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na (Even Yook Sungjae and his credit card!!)

What I really loved in this drama was that the characters and their stories were interconnected for a relevant reason. The love stories were tragic yet beautiful. I personally adored Kim Shin and Eun Tak's chemistry and story and them. I was entranced by their story and chemistry. The story of Kim Sun and Wang Yeo was also sweet.

The bromance between Kim Shin, Wang Yeo and Yoo Deok Hwa (mostly the former two) was exceptionally funny.

This drama is perfect in its imperfections. The way it ended was the only way I know it could have ended. I expect myself re-watching it by the end of 2026 (I want it to be something special to me). All I know is that I wouldn't have got interested in K-dramas if not for this. It was The Perfect K-drama for me.

I hope you all shall try watching this drama without having any second thoughts (I doubted too if I should watch it but I nevertheless love it).
