Amazing story with pretty unpredictable twists!

First things first: I'd recommend ya'll to watch this drama without reading any spoilers. Avoid the comment section and don't click on any spoiler buttons. I swear it is so much fun not knowing what's going on, and finding things out slowly. That's why my review won't include any spoilers either, just some watching experiences I had. :)

-> I actually didn't really like the first episode. I loved the plot description, but the first episodes were rather slow and lenghty, which I usually don't like. But then, a few more episodes in, I got totally hooked. The drama got better and better and better. I loved it a lot! <3


● THE STORY & ITS TWISTS
The story was really cool, in my opinion. I'm a big fan of fantasy anyway, so this drama about gods/Kawas etc. totally catched my attention. I also liked the short stories at the beginning of each episode! The romance, as well as the pace, felt rather slow in the first half, it got better later tho, and I was ok with it because the story was interesting enough itself.

I especially liked the unpredictability and the twists. Sometimes I found scenes confusing, and sometimes I wondered what the hell was going on. From the very beginning I couldn't really predict how the story would proceed. Especially since I didn't read any spoilers, and because I didn't expected the story to start where it started.

I love it when things are unpredictable and not obvious. Although I admit, some flashbacks and location-changes were a little too confusing. I should have taken notes xD I still have some questions, but I can live with them lol. I'll just interpret them the way I want. ;) The ending was acceptable for me, it wasn't completely perfect for me tho. I'm a little picky, you see.


● CAST & CHARACTERS
Ok, so my favorite characters were 'Orad, Fali, and Kakarayan, haha. <3 I liked Toem and some other Kawas too. The FL was also ok, although in some very few scenes I wished for her to use her brain a little more.

I loved the ML and his acting a lot. He is super handsome, and you could see the feelings on his face perfectly. I would't mind having a guardian angel like that.^^

Let's move on to Joe Cheng lol, somehow I actually never really liked him, but here he was amazing! I was impressed by his acting, this role suited him very well. And then all the guest appearances - So many familiar faces!


● OST & OTHER ARTSY STUFF
The OSTs are all very good. I actually love them all for them being emotional and fitting, but my favourite is clearly "Be Yours" by Astro Bunny, which feels kinda magical. Especially since they used some lyrics in the Amis language, which sounds a little mysterious in my opinion.^^

Also, the short stories at the very beginning were very pretty. I liked the style of the illustrations. And I also enjoy the feeling of listening to some legends.

Not to forget the drama was full of interesting quotes. Unfortunately I forgot to screenshot them, but an example would be: "In every lie there is a wish waiting to come true".


● FINAL WORDS
I also have some opinions and theories about the ending and some twists, but I really don't wanna spoil anyone. I want ya'll to experience it yourself. It's worth it. So I'll keep them to myself for now. ~ Happy Watching! ~
My heart feels heavy now that the drama is over – which is proof of how much I enjoyed it. I felt impressed, I felt emotional, I got surprised, confused and had some nice aww-moments lol. I want more stories like that!

So, if you like fantasy and are interested in myths, are ok with slow paces and want to be shaken by some nice twists, then this drama is definitely for you! <3
