This was shown literally from the very beginning, when they both wake up late and he's only concerned with himself, while she has to get the kids ready all by herself... Not to mention the rest of the first episode, when we see him only dealing with problems at his own job, and she can't even count on him to pick up the children...

The husband understood the reason for her behavior many episodes later, but the viewer had it served up on a silver platter from the get-go.

He was trying to be understanding, but couldn't be bothered with anything involving taking care of his kids? Please.

Wife's behawior was awful, but understandable in this situation, when she had to juggle work and childcare, with her husband providing absolutely no help at all. She couldn't count on him for even the smallest of things, and yet he had the nerve to, for example, expect a home-cooked meal after work (when he didn't help around the house, didn't take care of the children, didn't even think of cooking something for his wife. And she wasn't a stay-at-home wife, she had regular job too!).

I felt sorry for this poor, overworked and stressed out of her mind woman, not for the utterly selfish husband.

So... Why was it shown that someone did use the time station again, but wasn't revealed who it was? I was counting it was some of many males around the main couple, or even the homeless guy (whose connection with mother of U Jin was also never explained).

Honestly, I don't understand how anyone could think U Jin was terrible at first. She was unhappy, frustrated, overworked, and utterly lonely.
Ju Hyeok focused solely on himself and his work, while she had to juggle work and childcare, with her husband providing absolutely no help at all. She couldn't count on him for even the smallest of things, and yet he had the nerve to, for example, expect a home-cooked meal after work (when he didn't help around the house, didn't take care of the children, didn't even think of cooking something for his wife. And she wasn't a stay-at-home wife, she had regular job too!).

I was not at all surprised that this poor woman was a nervous wreck through all of this.

The complete lack of interest in children's disappearance was also quite eerie for me, in a very negative way.
Ju Hyeok regretted many things he lost when he "swapped" his wife, and he was recalling many things with pain, but not his children. There was only this one moment when he lamented: "Oh, my children are gone, I'm such a bad father, forgive me" – and that was it.

Plus – yes, they did have SOME children later, but definitely not the same ones 10 years later; biology doesn't work that way. So those children were lost forever, which clearly didn't bother him at all...

It's Netflix, they're going to milk it as much as they can. Which in this case actually might be a good idea, since shaman and brother-in-law's story has a potential to be interesting.

So... It wasn't explained why coach had all those videos on her computer, or did I miss something?

Honestly, my rating would probably have been higher if I'd known from the start that this drama was not a romance. Disappointed expectations of what I thought would be another beautiful, epic fantasy love story certainly had a significant impact on my experience with the show.
And while there still were aspects I appreciated—like mentioned highly polished visuals, or the truly well-written brotherly relationships and the protagonist's journey from blind focus on one goal to selfless love for the entire world—the lack of romantic relationship was really a "dealbreaker" for me.

Btw., do you know why LYX doesn't act in romances anymore? I've always kinda thought that for a young, handsome actor, it's one of the best genres—one that could bring both popularity and financial security, if only to give more freedom to choose worthwhile roles in later years.

I was also really looking forward to this drama (especially considering that "Till the End of the Moon" is one of my favorite c-dramas ever), and I'm very disappointed with how mediocre "Whispers of Fate" is. I struggled with this drama for about a month; it was really hard to finish.

I was waiting for the dragon part to begin throughout the whole story xD

But the ending wasn't bad. At first, I was annoyed when the main characters started dropping dead like flies (as if the story couldn't be epic enough without half the heroes dying), but A'Lis final sacrifice, while tragic, made sense and brought happiness to all the other characters.

It was such a disappointment for me.

In large part it was probably because I had very high expectations for this drama – this is Luo Yun Xi's first fantasy series since "Till the End of the Moon," which is one of my favorite dramas ever, and I waited about three years for it to be available with subtitles in my language.

The visual side is definitely a big plus – the costumes are beautiful, the landscapes too, and the CGI is quite high-quality. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end, in my opinion.

The plot is... okay. It's not bad, but it's nothing special either (and this is despite the creators building quite extensive worlds and numerous characters with their own stories far beyond the show's main plot).

And the biggest drawback – the lack of romance. I am an absolute sucker for romance, so the fact that there was essentially none of it here was hard for me to swallow.

Besides, Tang Lici's character was so omnipotent and omniscient (very Gary Stu) that I found him quite difficult to like. He does progress somewhat throughout the story, but I think it would have been much better if he hadn't been so perfect from the beggining.

Yeah, mouth bleeding in this was grotesque, but I still absolutely loved the plot and ML (FL less, but she wasn't bad). I was really looking forward to ML's next fantasy project, "Whispers of Fate", purely because of this actor. But I'm on episode 15 (of 40) and so far I'm rather disappointed. Two years of waiting and it's just so-so and the romance is absolutely lacking.

Also if you liked "Flower of Evil", you might want to try watching "Signal" and "Tunnel" (both Korean).

It looks like we have very different tastes.

But if you haven't watched them yet, maybe try "Melody of Golden Age", "Romance of a Twin Flower", "Mr. Queen" or "Fateful Love".
And if you enjoyed "Love between fairy and devil" "Till the end of the moon" is similar in some ways, but in my opinion much better.

Also all of the above have strong, smart female leads (as an European myself I also find infantile FL's as annoying).

"Prisoner of beauty" was pretty great.
"Blossom" is actually very similar to "Double" with general plot idea, except that main leads die at the beginning and are sent back in time, and the story of revenge and love goes from there. And it's much better made than "Double" - the plot is engaging and the relationship between the main characters is really well written.
If you don't mind a little bit of fantasy - the heroine entering the world of a costume drama scenario - then "A dream within a dream" and "Romance of Tiger and Rose" are amazing.

I didn't really have any illusions that the ML would die at the end, although I still held on to a faint hope that the creators would provide some miraculous, albeit absurd, solution at the end, like in "The Queen of Tears".

I find it quite amazing that Asians can create series that combine comedy and drama so perfectly. It was such a rollercoaster of emotions.

Ok, so you're suggesting that only people who adore a particular genre have the right to rate a drama? Or have an opinion about it? Am I getting it right?

Because nowhere did I state that my opinion of this title was some kind of revealed truth. I wrote that I didn't like it and explained why.
And instead of arguments about the drama or responses to my points about what I think was wrong with this title, I only get opinions about my taste in dramas.

Every opinion is based on highly subjective taste. That doesn't change the fact that you can still have an opinion about a given drama, even if it's negative.
I understand that not everyone has to agree with my opinion—or rather, judging by the very positive comments under this drama, most people here disagree with it. But that doesn't mean my opinion is somehow wrong or doesn't have a place here.
Therefore, I don't understand why some people have such a hard time hearing opinions differing from their own about this drama, as if raving about it were the only acceptable option (not to mention attempting personal attacks by some here).

They're usually with at least some fantasy elements:
Moon lovers: scarlet heart ryeo, Till the end of the moon, Love game in eastern fantasy, Back from the brink, A dream within a dream, Mr queen, Romance of tiger and rose, Alchemy of souls.
Also:
Great Doctor, Ashes of love, Love between fairy and devil, Last immortal, The blue whisper, Love and redemption, Guardians of the Dafeng, When destiny brings the demon, Blossom, The prisoner of beauty, Yummy, Yummy? Yummy! were pretty good too.
