A Bit Disappointing
I really wanted to like this series, but I am left a little flat. The FL's character is annoying. She's a well-educated researcher in her 30's and incredibly immature. I just cannot see how the ML, a well-educated, worldly man, could find anything endearing about her. I understand that aegyo is a cultural style in Korea, but it's annoying. Especially in anyone over the age of 30.The story did not need to be carried over 16 episodes. I could have been wrapped up in 8. Siwon did a great job with his character and was probably the most developed of all of them. The rest all fall a little flat.
Honestly, it's a shame that given the level of talent in this series I cannot give it a better rating. Watch if you have nothing better to do.

Great Cast, Disappointing Story
Wow, where do I start? The cast are all magnificent actors. I've been following them for years. But the material they've been given, in spite of their talent, is disappointing. They could have wrapped this up in 6-8 episodes. I don't know how they're going to keep it going for 16.The story is the same old, tired trope: rich Chaebol heir/heiress falls for poor but cute woman/man. Conflicts from within both families and antagonism between the two leads. But all of that plays out in the first two episodes. Flashbacks only do so much. How can a couple that was so in love three years prior be so distanced and bitter in such a short amount of time? Oh, and throw in a terminal illness as another tired trope.
The music, hair, makeup, clothing, locations...are all beautiful. That cannot make up for the total want of a story. I will continue to see this out, but it is definitely not a re-watch.

1/2 Way Through...It's OK
The acting is great, the story less so. Slow moving and it leaves you guessing (a bit too much) for the back stories. How did this family come into their powers? Is this hundreds of years of a family with these powers? A recent curse? How did the sister gain all of that weight if she was once a successful model? Does the dad have powers or is he just along for the ride?After six episodes of a 12-episode series, one would think that the characters, especially the leads, would be a bit more fleshed out.

I Want To Like This
I am past episode 5 now and I just don't know what to say. The whole show is confusing. By now all of the main actors' stories should be relatively fleshed out but, instead, the story lines has become more confusing.I will continue to watch because I have so much respect for all of the actors and have enjoyed their work in the past. Hopefully the writers and directors will start to peel the veils back and give us something tangible.
