A cake missing strawberries on top

ONE OF THE BEST CHINESE PRODUCTIONS EVER.

This was such a unique drama, the poster didn't justify how it would turn out to be.
I was looking for a supernatural element and this popped up.
Whenever you start C dramas, you expect the same typical plot with cringe characters , the mary sue plot but this was so unique.

Every character in this drama had an almost equal screenplay, it's rare.
The chemistry b/w the leads was subtle and mesmerizing.

If you're looking for a drama that's all supernatural and includes intense scenes and fights, then this is not for you

Our expectations rise thinking this is supernatural, so it must involve powers, drama, and fights
But we forget the script is simple, and the execution is what matters.
The intention of the writer and director was to simplify the aspect of two clans and their co-existence, that's it .

It reminds me of ' Bride Of Habaek '
Similar theme, subtly executed, but this drama is a bit better than it.

This drama is insightful in every aspect, the plot progression is about relationships and psychology about them.
A subtle romance combined with a supernatural sense, but nothing more than that.

We've multiple couples involved, each being under unique circumstances.

I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Now if you ask what disappointed me?
It's the ending.
The writer and the director rushed it abruptly, it made absolutely no sense to culminate to that point with such an approach. It leaves a bitter taste at the end.
It's like a strawberry cake you look forward to each without a cherry on top.

TIP : You need to give this drama a stretch, it's meant to be watched slowly, and can't be just binged.


A MUST WATCH
