The plot keeps fcking changing! And the leads keep dying ?
So, finished watching this cdrama, and… I have no idea why people glaze this drama so much. I’m so disappointed about all that unnecessary mumbo jumbo that went on in the first 20 episodes, allat could’ve been a email, just for the plot to change almost twice after the 20th episode. In fact, the drama could’ve just started from the 20th episode and nobody would complain. That’s how insignificant the first 19 - 20 episodes are.
The first 20 episodes were so bad, with the poor world building, like half of the time I had no idea what was going on. All of the spells, the magic and whatnot seemed so half assed. The pacing was bad, the romance was so boring, I also got pissed at the way the male lead failed to respect our fl’s boundaries. The female lead was pretty much a side character in her own story during the first 20 episodes.
They did a bunch of bs until the 20th episode and suddenly changed their mind. Like I was so close to dropping the series, but oh? Suddenly they start a new arc, where we focus more on the female lead. they change the plot once more after the 28th episode. Like istg the writers COULD NOT make up their damn mind.
Like, this drama had insane potential, but it ended up being all over the place. The execution ways sooo bad, the story got soo boring, like it was so difficult to finish the drama. Also, I wish they’d get a better actor for the male lead, imo, the actor sucked at expressing emotions, he has like one expression all the time 😭. That aside I love the yin-yang references, and the male lead’s character development was peak (but they threw allat away in the final arc 💔)
Overall, first half is shit, second arc is mid, final arc was unnecessary. Don’t recommend, cute but really lack luster.
