Started Strong, Lost Its Spark
It was really good... until it wasn't.
The show actually started off so strong. I was hooked from the beginning—the story was fun, the pacing was great, and who doesn't love a yearning male lead? The chemistry was there, and I genuinely thought this was going to be one of my favorites.
Unfortunately, the last 5–6 episodes completely lost me. They weren't necessarily bad, but they became so boring that I genuinely struggled to finish them. The writing feels very inconsistent. One moment it's engaging, and the next it's falling back on the same overused K-drama tropes we've seen a hundred times before. Nothing really felt fresh.
What disappointed me the most was the romance. It had so much spark at the beginning, but somewhere along the way it just fizzled out. It felt like the characters kept going in circles—every time they made progress, they'd have another misunderstanding and end up right back where they started. They never seemed to communicate properly, and after a while it just became repetitive instead of emotional.
The show had so much potential, especially with the reincarnation storyline, but it barely scratched the surface. They could've explored it in a much deeper and more meaningful way, but instead it felt underdeveloped. The characters also had so much potential to be incredibly well written, but the execution just didn't live up to it.
One thing I will give it credit for is the editing and overall production—it looks great, and some scenes are genuinely beautiful. Sadly, good editing can't make up for weak writing.
Overall, it's an easy watch and not overly complicated, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it. It starts off incredibly promising, but the second half really drags, and the ending feels rushed. It's one of those dramas that had all the ingredients to be great but ultimately missed the mark.
