Had the niche for a great drama but blah. Production was measly with the CG effect, not great at all, which is sad considering this story is about magical elements. This is based on the comic but I don't expect the drama to be like it...and I wanted to like this drama so much that I watched all the way to episode 10. However by the end of the 10th, I got the gist that the writer had no idea on how to pull off this screenplay. The writer utterly failed to deliver it. Her muse got tired of running or got lazy with plot building and settled for a random paycheck rather than manifest a great show because she probably outdid herself, lacking the ability to combine multiple plots together. This drama had one too many things going on and each one of them with a plot-hole the size of a crater. The story was all over the place. Forget the main plot. Add the side plots of the demi fire god who lost his memory, the land serving as a portal, the lost map thing, the loose low class god running around and somehow though of the lowest rank still manages to render the great god future king Habaek powerless (really is beyond me but whatever), the other two earthling gods who lost the stones because they were playing around.......All this came out to be errr...'So What The F***'....none of these scenarios helped move the story. It was like a merry-go-round of one bad idea after another.
This was a drama with a good casting, though poorly directed cuz chemistry with the leads was just OK. But I did like the music (the only thing worth anything). I recommend this to anyone who doesn't care for story-building and character development, and only watch for the romance then I guess, up to you. Though really, if you're only after romance, plenty of other romance drama with better stories.
Overall - 2 stars for the cast and music. I had such hopes for this drama when it was first advertised but the writing was too horrible for me to give it any other rating.
Rewatch - NO.
