Underwhelming

It had some cute moments, however I felt that the whole series was carried on the shoulders of the FL. Although I didn't find her very attractive but she was so refreshingly honest, full of energy and true to herself that I was forced to like her.

The ML is just another beautiful face who had two expressions, one without smile and one with smile. And a lot of camera focus was given to the moment he would slowly smile as if he was blessing the world with a boon. It was good he could finally smile freely in the last two episodes. He could not emote the conflict well so I was not moved to tears either. Nothing charismatic in his get up to suggest he was a gumiho except for the tails appearing here and there.

The second ML was much more charismatic with wider range of acting. Too bad the poor guy was made to suffer so much.

The second couple was initially a welcome sight after the series "Start up". However I felt they did not suit each other at all and had no chemistry. The guy was for sure sweet but there is a limit to how much you could cry at the drop of a hat. The second girl has so much personality and she deserves an awesome drama with a strong ML. I hope to see her in such a project soon.

Overall a very underwhelming experience.

Kisses were ok.

I really like the fact that the FL, Hyeri is open about dating in real life and is very well supported by her boyfriend. She appears to be a lovely caring person in behind the scenes clips.
