When the writer makes the main female lead faint in EVERY SINGLE ep, you know there's something wrong here.. for one she's a COP, so one would assume she could atleast try to take cover but nope, she's the target of any and all "accidents"
I am dropping this at ep4 but even after ep6's teaser I saw yet another pic of Ha Neul Ae Gu Reum with closed eyes...


now people could make up all the excuses they want but the ML is miscast, or horribly written. we can assume he's in his mid 30s to early 40s, and since the younger vr seemed to be kinda in a similar age group as the fl, 35 is as young as he could pretend to be.
but imagine, a grown man is so incompetent, the way he reacts to things makes it seem like he's in his teens. he's confused, lost, brooding and worse he loses his temper and storms out like a kid.. ooh yeah the WORST part was when he pushed the fl then also broke the bus station's glass that cut her face and neck.......
I have seen many many "supernatural" themed shows and movies, maybe I even watched teen focused superpower genres even more and non of them act as childish as this 40 year old man
I won't say he's not acting it right, he is pulling off that horrible character but they don't fit each other. if they casted a teen or someone in their early 20s then maayyybe, but I hate that type of character it's just a cheap out of a real in depth struggle


on the other hand I don't get the obsession the FL has with the ML. sure she wants to know about her parents, but he's practically a dead end, there's no need for her to risk her life for him when she could try to arrest him.. he's acting too pitiful and she's way too invested


I actually enjoyed the "evil minions" story more, Choi Yoo Na and Lee Son's convo in ep4 was more interesting than anything else, granted though everything from ep1 till ep4 was a boring repetitive circle.
the evil guys find zio, they have an over exaggerated fight and then they run and run and run, then the fl faints while the ml pouts..


Lee Da Hee, Jung Da Eun and the OST were the best part, though at some points the OST is too flashy as if they're trying to say "look at us, we're a fancy fantasy"

now I'm only dropping this for 2 reasons, one I can't take dahee fainting one more time and two I now have 5 better ongoing shows so I don't need to waste my time on this, though I might pick it up after it ends and skip all the running and whining ;D


I technically dropped this at ep4 (lucky me) but I had my eyes on the ending and they killed both FL and SFL?! WOW, did the writer hate female characters? tbh the FL was so badly written that I new this writer can't write female characters, it's surprising to see that they also wrote the Pirates, but anyway...
what's worse they killed her off by taking a bullet for the ML? that's legit my most hated trope...
