We must lose our footing in order to find balance
Sometimes, a show simply captivates me. It could be the type of story I love, or it might match my current mood perfectly. Maybe it’s because it’s clever and interesting, full of twists and turns that leave me pleasantly surprised. And sometimes I just like it for no particular reason at all. This series is a bit of everything.
Is it flawless? Of course not. It has its minor imperfections. But none of them mattered to me in the slightest. I didn’t just enjoy it — I fell completely in love. The story, the friendship (cough, cough), the gods, the twists, and especially the characters — all of it came together in a way that left me deeply satisfied.
I thoroughly enjoyed the fantasy elements, laughing out loud at some of the shenanigans. There were moments that made me cry, moments that got me excited, and moments I hated, but I was never bored.
Both main characters have huge arcs with a lot of emotional growth, which I really appreciated.
Staking my claim now: no one loves Niran like I do, just saying. He deserves the world. I was giggling and kicking my feet every time he appeared. For a heartless demon slayer, he was surprisingly lovable and caring. He was so hurt and so ready to give up on everything — only the friendship (cough) managed to pull him forward.
How can anyone not love Pete? He was so strong and so fragile at the same time. It was incredibly powerful to experience all of his emotions and insecurities with him. I just wanted to wrap him in the biggest hug possible.
Both Niran and Pete are strong, well-written characters who formed a beautiful bond. I adore them so much. Their friendship (cough) was incredibly cute, and one season simply wasn’t enough for me.
Krist Perawat was amazing as Li Pou. I hope he had a lot of fun with the role because it’s so different from anything he’s played before, and he nailed it.
Overall, I had a great time. The story manages to be cute, funny, emotional, tense, and angsty, while also handling serious topics like grief and abandonment with care. The characters are what truly make this series. The plot was fairly predictable, but it has excellent rewatch value.
