The theme song is so beautiful and stirs nostalgic emotional feelings. Ep 1 a nice, gentle start in spite of traumatic back stories

agree agree agree. She can't even be bothered to read the book to Woo JU

agree. Messy house, hard time getting ready in the morning in time to drop off to day care, if she isn't taking care of her own meals, what the heck is the toddler eating? ML read books to the child. She gives the book to the kid to look at by himself while she does other things. No wonder Woo Ju didn't want "uncle" to leave after dropping him off. I am not convinced there is passion. Only pity or missing his help.

the same writer wrote the drama Last Summer which I absolutely hated. Note to self to avoid this writer at all costs in the future

I am not mad at 2ML. I feel bad that he will put in all this effort and lose. If anything both MLs deserve better than a wishy washy FL with no fire or passion.

I like this team of Pirates, and adore Captain Big Al

I felt bad for Nora. She seems to sadly be just a pawn in the power play. I can't help but think as Albert sees this - his dad sold almost all his shares, he sees how quickly Nora got eliminated, and I wonder if he questions what is in this for him? Maybe I am reading too much into this but for Pete's sake I hope that the FL and ML don't end up getting back together now that he was fired.

They had me when she vanished, but the 9 year time skip was really not necessary. Eun Ho comes back and does not learn any humility? She was so much more pleasant when she lost her powers, and reverts back to overbearing personality when a 9 tail fox again. Even Geum Ho's personality changed when she got promoted to 9 tail fox. It would have been better if... they reunite once he dies - or - she comes back as human and they live happily ever after. I even got the sense that the ML felt uneasy that she now is powerful and the dynamics are please her or else. Stuck on an island with only her around? No thank you. To me the chemistry withered away in the final scenes.

They brought the shaman back from the dead... only to have to slay him again. Why bother and his reappearance added no tension or substance to the final episode.

And what happened to the villain who shot the ML? He just runs away and then what? I must have missed something.

Deity/human relationships are so unsatisfying due to mortal vs immortal lifespan. I liked it better in Doom At Your Service on how they resolve this dilemma.

Many elements fell apart at the end - spoiler below

Agree - infuriating. I don't think the 2nd ML is a bad person, unless they really trash that character in later episodes. The FL lead has shown by her close but turbulent relationship with deceased sister, that she is focused on her career. Fine, so be it, and make arrangements accordingly as a toddler is a responsibility, not a toy. This latest episode instead of creating tension, just increases disappointment.

What a perfect epilogue - do not miss it. I loved it because it honored the social constraints of the Joseon era, and the ending circled back perfectly to that beautiful scene when they lit lanterns. I got the feels watching this episode and didn't feel highly manipulated to feel so.

You know, for me it was refreshing to see to me not ugly, but an average looking FL be the object of desire. And when I say average, I mean looking like most people look.

Yes. It seemed like when the light was shining on Gyeong Rok, I knew that a truck of doom or something of that nature happened, Then when Yo Han looked out the window his face glowed and he smiled. It was almost as if the moment Gyeong Rok's soul was about to leave his body, the soul of Yo Han came back to life. Yes, they grab me by the heart, but I also think that if they eliminated that, I still would have loved the movie. It was a bit extra to do that.

I love his work, and Black Out was one of my favorites of the murder mystery genre

The photos give WLGT vibes

I think people are concerned as there is a concern that social media exposure to body dissatisfaction leads to eating disorders. I write with concern, having lost a friend to this, and by saying this was done to get a role is concerning to me on the impact of a talented actress with a lot of influence. One can admire women without expectations of being so thin. We see drama after drama portraying idols, and the physical demands and control of weight. I don't know how many dramas I have seen where a young lady is admonished to not eat so much. There is lots of research done on this, you might check it out as it is a real phenomenon

Ep 14 set up beautifully by eps 12 and 13 - patience paid off. One of the most emotional redemptive arcs of late, the various threads of the plot all coming together, it was so well done. The cliffhanger so emotional as well. I cannot wait for the final episodes next week.

Of course it isn't the only country where bad things happen. But it saddens me that in terms of the enormity of the Epstein files scandal, we are seeing other countries demand accountability, whereas we see our government going all out to protect and shield the wealthy and powerful. Not ha ha.

What I thought was a cynical assessment of the state of affairs in a fictional version of South Korea was a grim reminder of current affairs in the US.

Regarding justice, the only thing that matters is money and power.

I enjoyed this. I was light, fun and didn't take itself too seriously. I appreciated that it maintained elements of a comic book feel. Top drama? no, but what I needed for now, as I am on stress overload from the real world. The assignment was to entertain, and it delivered.
