Angsty Plot with Ambiguous Ending

Like other series in the past, I think I watched this show at the wrong time. I wanted a fun and fluffy romance, but got an angst filled plot and ambiguous ending.

❤ The highlight of the series is 100% IU as Jang Man Wol. When she was on the screen, you could not look away from her. She was a messy, emotional, and materialistic immortal with a touch of vulnerability giving her enough humanity to make her story (and redemption) plausible.

❤ The leads had tons of energy and chemistry. Unfortunately, Yeo Jin Goo as Goo Chan Sung was so one-dimensional as to be laughable. He was a character that could not stand on his own outside of the story. I'd also say the romance is not the driving force of this series, but more of a factor in Jang Man Wol's character development.

❤ The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. It truly is a cinematic experience on the small screen. I can't think of one scene that didn't feel fully realized.

❤ While I enjoyed the side characters, few of their stories felt integral to the overarching plot as they were all crammed into the latter half of the series.
