I can’t wait to watch this drama. I want to watch it now, especially after reading all these comments but I feel like I’ll die from waiting every week. Should I wait until mid-September to binge?
It wasn’t bad...it wasn’t good. Good fluff in between more serious/intense dramas. The ending could have been a little more... something after all that, but I guess I’ll leave it to my imagination. Into the next one.
Romance is not the central focus, the love triangle is there the entire drama, Soh Ah is ridiculously selfish throughout (I have no idea why ML likes her and is so loyal) and there is no confession and mutual liking until the last two episodes (really the very last). ML ends up with the only person that makes sense Yiseo. I’m serious when I say Soh Ah has no redeeming qualities.
There was no explanation of the ending. I know it’s fantasy drama and the audience is expected to suspend their disbelief but there still has to be some rules established for how things work and there was just no explanation.
Other than that, watch the drama for fluff - handsome ML and SL, cute couples and good dose of friendships/sisterhood. Definitely don’t go in taking it seriously or expecting normal wuxia level complexity or plot depth.
What am I watch at ep 20? I did not see this coming. Complete annihilation? Why aren’t they using their powers? What’s happening? (Insert mind blown emoji)
Oh. Can we please take the few minutes of ep. 16 and have a whole drama of Chef Park Bo Gum? Actually, we don’t even need FL, just Chef PBG.
I only agreed with Soo Ah on one thing without thought, which was her “daebak~” as PBG turned around. (Soo Ah was such a frustrating character and I just couldn’t justify her actions or thoughts.)
PSJ for the win. Seriously like when he’s a goofball, domineering CEO, or a broken man...just put him a drama and I’m there.
The show itself was moving without being super angsty and had a good flow. I had to forward once in a while when moment dragged out in the middle eps., but I enjoyed the characters enough that I wanted to watch most of the moments all the way through. They definitely used the romance as a justification of FL unquestioning devotion and support of ML and they also needed it to wrap a pretty ribbon on the ending, but otherwise, don’t expect much in that area.
I enjoyed it and loved watching the little family ML gained throughout and the strength and perseverance he showed.
Not rewatch worthy for me but will remain in my memory.
It seriously took until episode 30 for them to be mutually romantic and it was ruined for the stupidest reason…
Trust me, if they kept it Ge Ge the entire time and kept it light, I would have been okay. But you can’t throw in kisses like that and have her acting all thirsty with Xiao Bai and then say all Que Yiu wanted was family. Lol. They totally wanted each other and I TOTALLY agree with you that the build up was sweet and I was super shipping at ep. 30. BUT the ridiculousness of her dumping him and not giving him the chance to explain. FL did not reciprocate the amount of love ML had for her. She didn’t trust him or stick it out through thick or thin. She totally just tried to score the guy that would love HER the most and above every else without her having to reciprocate the same level of devotion.

I feel like Chun Hua had her foot through both doors....Both sides of the line...what is that saying? I feel like both guys loved her much more than she loved either of them and she simply wanted the one that would love her the most and put her above all.
I really loved the ML character! Bad but good and so loyal and completely in love and self-sacrificing.

There is a discussion thread above that contains link to recaps that Contain a good amount of detail. I couldn’t get myself to drop it completely so I just read them. Just thought I would share :)
It seriously took until episode 30 for them to be mutually romantic and it was ruined for the stupidest reason by episode 32. I thought FL had some character development and growth...ugh. Not.
