TTJ admitting to himself that the only time his heart moves and he feels something is for LSS and realizing it among all the chaos he has caused is actually very profound. The ground is littered with people he has hurt without blinking an eye, but seeing her scared stops him in his tracks. He spent his whole life convinced that no one would ever care for him, but there's still a sliver of hope in him, so he's latching on to her apparent affection, even if there's a part of him that is convinced that it's not real.

YBC is so fake, I don't think I can take rewatching her scenes. I'll be shamelessly skipping her parts.

He basically called her a parasite 🤣

Even this early on and all high on newfound power, TTJ still can't bring himself to actually hurt LSS.

Poor TTJ being hated and mistreated from the moment he was born, especially by the person who should have loved him the most. Not understanding emotions might have been a blessing in disguise at that point, because if he did he might have turned evil and bitter much earlier in his life.

It's interesting how quickly LSS went from wanting to kill him right away to wanting to understand him better and figuring out what turned him evil in the first place.

"Basically, he talks to all animals except humans."

It's not that he doesn't talk to humans, but no one makes the effort to talk to him. No one tries to get to know him or have a decent conversation. Everyone just projects whatever they want on him and treats him based on that prejudice.

Oh no, YBC has appeared, acting all fake weak and nice.

It really shows what kind of values and morals LSS was brought up with, because she is so conflicted right from the beginning even though she just went through an incredibly traumatic event. Her mental fortitude is also very commendable.

Poor LSS didn't even get proper instructions on what an Evil Bone even is and how to extract it.

ADG was clearly having fun writing the script of TTJ's life.

This was a very lovely drama. It's a bit silly and doesn't take itself too seriously, but at the same time manages to have a very emotional core. It ended up being a nice blend of dark and funny. I really enjoyed it.

No matter how many times I have watched the first episode, and by now I have lost count, it's still impressive.

It really does take two minutes to know this is going to be epic.

The contrast between the ultimate power he had as the DG, to the point where he was just playing around with all those immortals like a cat with a fly and the weak and helpless TTJ who is bullied by everyone around him is so jarring that even LSS is confused.

The first episode is definitely one of the most memorable first episodes I have ever seen.

The character introductions are impeccable.

Can't believe this is the third year already. This drama really has remained fresh in my mind.

While this drama definitely has its flaws, overall it did manage to entertain me.

For me, the biggest problem was the worldbuilding. There was barely any. So you're basically thrown into a story that takes place in a world with no structure.

The core of the story is the main couple. Everything that doesn't revolve around them plays out in the background, so the conflicts and the stakes don't have any dramatic impact. It's not the most "exciting" drama I have ever watched.

I did like the main couple. Admittedly, the FL is miscast. I won't go as far as to say that she did a bad job, but she doesn't have the screen presence or the charisma to pull off a character like this perfectly. The ML, however, was perfectly cast.

"One is handsome and considerate, while the other is strong and brave. How should you choose? Just take them both."

Lu Xin is definitely among my favourite characters.

This was one of the dramas that I was absolutely anticipating this year and it did not disappoint.

Every cast member did a great job portraying their characters. The story of the novel was adapted really well and the progression from a lighter story to a darker one was done gradually and naturally.

Overall, I really enjoyed watching this.
