I wanted to give this show a ten but refrain because one thing still grated my nerves after I finished watching. The part about how a time portal existed out of nowhere and somehow was only active for the main character. That part was just left up the air. I didn't like that.

Other than that, I loved this show. Plot and characters were both good. Choi Jin Hyuk is so very handsome. And such emotions when expressing despair for his wife and child's whereabouts. Great actor.

Music: Loved the OST. A 10+.

Rewatch - Yes.

Overall - great show. good ending. Glad it wasn't left open like other thriller dramas.

I didn't like the main couple. Didn't care for them and if they somehow faded into the background for the second season, I wouldn't mind one bit. The ratings i'm giving really is just for the MEW/ART - PREE/RAMBO pair. These guys should have taken main focus. Though their relationship in the story really is a shitty one but these two have so much chemistry it's beyond me.

Overall, only reason I won't give it a ten is that the more interesting couple is support rather than main. Otherwise I'd rate this show higher.

Rewatch Value: I'm a Mew/Art-Pree/Rambo whore so yeah I go back just to watch them suck on each other's lips. (wipes drools).

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.

There is some connection to the first season but is pretty much its own story. I liked all the cast but I think the first season had a better narrative. This second season had a bit too much going on and felt a bit confusing at times when the special crew went looking for suspects, cuz there was more than one, and I definitely suck ass with Korean names, I couldn't keep up with which suspect was which one.

But I gotta say I wasn't expecting and was disappointed that a major character was was taken out by the second half of the show. I still liked the show enough to watch it all the way though. But really that snippet they put at the end....they better be making a third season then. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. Because it'd be so lame of the producers to introduce that and then not have a third season. Then again look at what OCN did with TEN (two season and they didn't even conclude it - I really hated when they do this). So fingers' cross this will get a third.

Overall: not as great as the first season but still good.

Rewatch: no
