This is calm, healing and comfort drama with a mature romance.

We can judge this in two ways: from a focused perspective or from a general one. If we judge it as part of a general critique, we’d basically be judging a fish by its ability to climb trees, and that would be unfair in a genre as diverse as Korean dramas.

This drama doesn’t have action, suspense, or an excessive amount of drama, but it is a story that, beyond what I’ve read in other reviews, actually has some lessons to teach!

I read somewhere that someone didn’t understand why there are so many C-dramas similar to this one that people praise or give good reviews to, while this one doesn’t receive the same treatment, when in reality, this drama is very good. It has that kind of vibe that is hard to find in a K-drama, and it manages to execute it well without becoming flat or “boring,” which I think is what people complain about the most.

In my opinion, people tend to think that something calm and peaceful is boring, but they don’t give it enough time to look beyond the surface of the story—to see how the characters’ decisions influence their lives, for better or worse. In this case, I absolutely loved the development of the characters and the decisions they made. Even when those decisions were difficult, they were also the bravest ones, and honestly, most of us aren’t very brave when it comes to those kinds of things.

Basically, this story tells you that sometimes taking the easiest path isn’t the best choice. Sometimes you have to take risks to change your direction, and that means daring to do more. This applies to everything, even relationships.

“Daring to do something that is destined to fail” might still be worth it. At the end of the day, no one knows what might happen.

Tinha potencial para ser incrível, mas também não foi ruim

Honestamente, acho algumas críticas muito válidas e outras bastante injustas.

Começando pelas críticas válidas:

1. A direção
De fato, eu senti que o diretor falhou com esse dramas diversas vezes. Não só pela IA e CGI ruim, mas também pelo mau planejamento das cenas de ação que em muitos momentos não ficaram nada convincentes, com ângulos ruins. Aliás, essa questão dos ângulos é realmente um problema, diversas fotos de divulgação do drama possuíam melhores fotografias do que as escolhas finais do drama. Alguns momentos também pediam silêncio em vez de música.

2. O roteiro
Vamos lá, eu não acho que o roteiro seja de todo ruim. Na verdade, vejo muito potencial nele. A história de maneira geral é interessante e tem suas peculiaridades. Mas de fato, erraram muito no desenvolvimento do casal, isso é inegável. Algumas falas eu também senti que foram mal pensadas. Fiquei realmente sentida com o potencial desperdiçado do casal e como foram injustos com o Murong Qinyi. Sei que o objetivo de Overdo era ser um drama, e eu não vejo problema algum com isso. Realmente amo dramalhão, mas acabaram pesando a mão aqui e não souberam estabelecer limites para o aceitável.

Agora tudo que eu NÃO concordo com as críticas:

1. Atuação
Vi muitos dizendo que a atuação estava ruim, e honestamente, tudo bem não gostar do drama, mas dar nota 2 pra atuação já é ser bem parcial. Não acho que a atuação tenha sido ruim, muito pelo contrário, em muitos momentos me peguem surpresa com a entrega em algumas cenas. Também acho que outras escolhas de ângulos do diretor não favoreceram em outros momentos. Mas realmente não acho que a atuação foi ruim, eu fiquei bastante satisfeita com o elenco.

2. Casal
Vi muita gente dizendo que o casal não tinha química nenhuma e nisso eu discordo COMPLETAMENTE. Eu me peguei surtando muitas vezes por esse casal querendo que eles se dessem bem logo. Amo o yearning que foi construído aqui e a tensão entre os dois era de outro mundo. Novamente, achei que o LingHe e a Churan entregaram muito como casal, uma pena o roteiro não ter valorizado mais.

Enfim, é uma história que tinha muito potencial e acredito que parte dele foi desperdiçada. Não totalmente, ainda acho que existem coisas boas pra se tirar desse drama e eu fiquei muito feliz com esse lançamento. Apesar de não ter conseguido aproveitar em todo o seu potencial, ainda assim aproveitei muito e no geral eu amei. Não me arrependo nem um pouco de ter assistido e esse casal vai permanecer na minha mente durante muito e muito tempo.

relationship with deadline

Just finished watching this movie, and I don’t think my heart is ready to let it go yet.

It’s one of those stories that breaks your heart so gently, yet somehow leaves you feeling grateful for being alive.

Two lonely souls found each other at a time when life was already slipping through their fingers. And in the little time they had, they became the reason each other smiled, laughed, loved, and truly lived. They kept secrets, not because they didn’t trust each other, but because sometimes loving someone means choosing their happiness over your own truth.

Their love story was heartbreaking, but there was something so beautiful about it too. They didn’t have forever, so they made their little moments feel like forever.

What touched me the most was how the movie made death feel less like an ending and more like a reminder to appreciate the life we still have. They knew their time was limited, yet they chose to live—to laugh, to love, to make memories, and to enjoy every moment they were given.

Maybe that’s what the movie was really trying to tell us: we don’t need to be in their situation to start living more fully.

Life is short. Love the people you have. Enjoy the little things. Make memories while you can.

Because sometimes, the most beautiful stories aren’t the ones that last forever.

They’re the ones that make the time we have feel like enough. 🤍

Well put together, filling every aspect, the happiest cast of drama ive ever seen

First i must mention the Female Lead, her smile man.., damn especially the earliest episode was so pure and bright, i literally would fight the world to protect that damn smile. And dthe director really know how to maximize it.

A Romcom with a main plot a little bit dark usualy feels cranky and weirdly put, but this is wo well put that it can separate the genre so well that we can greatly enjoying both of the world.

This is the first drama that ive got to like everyone character, even the cameo, its just a fun and delightful experience seeing them interact, it feels so honest that i thought they werent acting, just like seeing our happy neighbor interact with each other.

Just job welldone i have no complain, really really enjoyable experience.

Thank you really, for all the drama cast and staff, for brighten one of my days.

Intense but meaningless in the end

Joseon-ish supernatural horror. Royal family and palace are terrorized by spirits and given what all's gone on there, it's no wonder. The King brings in a ghost hunter and pairs him up with his daughter who has been ostracized because she can hear spirits, but the King figures she can be of help in this instance. Meanwhile, a rival nobleman hires a shaman to rile up any vengeful spirits that might be around, thereby improving his own chances of grabbing power for his family.

Our ghost hunter goes to and from the spirit world of Gwi, which is a lurid, chaotic mess where it's hard to see what's going on, whereas the "real world" scenes are beautifully and crisply shot. Unfortunately, we spend an inordinate amount of time in Gwi in indistinct, if intense, combat between ghost hunter and spirits.

Throughout, this drama tries very hard to be something--but what? Important? Meaningful? Unfortunately, it just swirls and roils, intensely, forcefully, and sometimes beautifully, but in the end goes nowhere. Except for the ghost hunter and the princess, there's not a sympathetic character to be found or anything to be learned. The evil shaman's rituals were impressive, though. I liked those.
