I was happy when it ended.

I watched a few episodes weekly with friends for about a month or so and it eventually turned into a hate watching drinking game for us. We celebrated when it was over. If I had watched this show alone I would have dropped it entirely. The main couple is boring and annoying. The male lead is the worst. He has no personality, he is selfish and never has character development. He only thinks about being humane when his life is about to end because he decided to wait til his 1000 years was up to try and become human. He apparently loves Dam, but the whole show he never communicates with her about anything, even when he's disappearing and she had just clearly stated she would be extremely hurt by an ubrupt ending to their relationship. She spends the whole show thinking he either used her or she's doing something wrong and everything is her fault. His big moment I guess is when he saves her from being hit by the infamous white truck and he gets hit instead and just disappears. Its still bothersome because she finds his letter and then blames herself for him getting hit by the truck. She never would have been in that situation if he'd have just communicated with her. She was rushing there because she knew he was secretly saying goodbye. Then we find out he asked Hyesun to use HER Bead to erase Dam's memories when the mountain spirit let her have one wish. So now you're asking someone to use THEIR ONE WISH to erase the trauma you've put your girlfriend through. Lovely man indeed. Lets not forget HE PUSHED HER BEST FRIEND DOWN THE STAIRS CAUSING AN INJURY! That's really where I checked out of their relationship. I was over it before that, but that solidified that this male lead had no redeeming qualities for me. There was nothing cute or romantic about their relationship and it was painful and uncomfortable to watch. The side characters and second couple were the only good thing about this show and the only reason I give it 3 stars. I will end this by saying that someone in our watch party said their favorite part was when he got hit by a truck and didn't show up anothing 25 mins in the finale. So really don't bother wasting your time on this drama.
