The best tragic romance-fantasy ever!

A phrase to describe:
Wanna feel a bittersweet broken heart? Watch this drama!

Cons:
- There are terms in Korean that don’t have explanations: Gwanju, Gwigu, etc.
- Places’s (or town) name make you wonder: Is this the name of a clan, a town, or what?
- The story is complicated since the beginning, you might need to rewatch the first episode.

Pros:
- A fresh sageuk-fantasy story with a superwoman as the main character.
- Good proportion of romance, not too much and not too little.
- Well-served comedy.
- Jung Somin, Jang Nara, Arin, and Seohee goddess combos.
- Puzzle-like plot (almost) without a plot hole.
- Tragic story. Hail to the writer for writing such brave plot.
