It's both amazing and confusing mess at the same time

When I started this drama I kinda liked it but as the series progressed the show went bland especially a couple of episodes in the middle were soo boring. After a point I just stopped waiting for the next episode.

I do agree with the comments they should have just removed the whole magical wish part and this would have been an amazing slice of life cz that was pretty messily handled. It started off good with both friends wishing and their wish coming true and both of them kinda paid their price for the wish too. Xiang Yong lost his loved ones and Wan Zi lost his peace. Which 2as plausible cz his wish wasn't as bing as Yong. Everything just starts going downhill after this. Like people lost their memories once and then it happens again🙄 okay u wanna erase HXY but why did Hama chan forget Wan Zi🙄🙄 makes no sense. Also why did Yong trading his life to undo his wish also undo wan zi's wish?

I especially hated how this whole wish mess was just the gods messing with people kinda thing and although they said there were rules i couldn't see any. These 2 kids get to undo their wish while the doc who i feel also repented never got to undo the wish. Also the introduction of the new god in the end felt absolutely unnecessary to me. Also everyone's memories being distorted differently in the end was also kinda uncomfortable for me. Instead if they either just removed the whole magic thing or just let him experience a world where their wish came true and then they came back to where they started. That would have been much much better.

The 1st couple have an amazing backstory but then their current timeline's story was barely interesting on the other hand i absolutely loved the 2nd couple A LOT. They did a good job. For a 1 time watch this drama is good but it might be hard to finish it.
