It's all over the place. They even tried to put a triangle but it was really lame. FL had some mother issues and some of the crazy stuff only explained in the end. Just watch with your brain off. It's not so bad if you overlook the too crazy stuff.

Something poorly blended, with stale chunks, some tasty chunks, but that gives a bad overall taste, like the cook did not know what he was doing.

Tencent needs to review its channel management strategy. I dropped my subscription on YouTube and surely many more also did, and I don't think they went to its app, as I did not.

Viki picks several Tencent content and hopefully this will be one of them.

I dropped Tencent for what they have been doing on its YouTube channel and disney is a no-go for me. Not worth giving my money for this. If later they expand to Viki or Netflix I'll watch.

Imagine you put slice of life, romance, humor, tragedy, identity crisis, etc. in a blender.

No Tencent and no disney. It seems this one will be a pass.

This drama started so well, then took a nosedive. That portion where they brought in that Pomegranate character was simply unbearable. After that it became a drag. Almost at the end now, after taking breaks. Not sure they can still salvage it. Pity, had a great potential. Fang of Fortune is way better.

I ended up going back on Netflix and also lowered from two thumbs to one thumb. The final could had been a lot better than that mess.

Just finished it and what I liked most was the soundtrack. The story started really well, the acting good and the production in general very good. However, by the middle, it seems that it hit a perfect storm of lack of budget, identity crisis and the director not knowing exactly what was expected by the screenwriter. Some new actors seemed like people they pulled from the street, the story went batshit crazy and the main leads got very confused. I liked this drama in general but the second part made me lower my score to 7/10. It could have been a lot better.

They indeed screwed up the end. Not sure they waned to male it funny, sparkle some romance, or what. The writer and director seem to have got lost. But it was very entertaining nonetheless. A lot more than other Korean dramas with higher budget and higher ratings.

Agree. For what it proposes, it's an eight in ten.

It's not that bad. The few bad parts were luckily brief and I did not have to use FF.

Lighthearted and easy to binge watch. Overall acting was good and the production did a great job. The end was a bit forced with the way the "good guys" won and some conclusions, but this isn't a story to be watched with the brain on; therefore, it's good to pass the time. Difficult to go wrong with this one.

Where's this one streaming?

True. I started this one and, so far, Hotel del Luna has a better story, at least for me. This one has some "stale" moments.

Thanks! I'll keep an eye for it on Viki. I don't subscribe to MGTV.

Is this an official special episode or will be a fan-based production? If official, any word if it will be available in all streaming platforms? I'm watching on Viki.

Just started but it is already looking like another drop. Bad scrip, insuferable acting and apprently the actors were directing themselves. ML and FL are competing for whom is the worst.

Finally finished. Very overrated series. The story concept is great; however, the implementation is a disaster. Between the super slow and boring storytelling and bad acting, this drama became a drag. The "good" characters were stupid to make my head hurt, while the bad were the epitome of bad. Pretty much black vs. white. The "good" only survived to the end thanks to the plot armor, which was likely all dinged protecting them. This is a 5 or 6/10 max.
