PROMISING FROM THE START BUT A FAILURE TO THE END. MESSY PLOT EXECUTION BUT THE LINES ARE QUOTABLE

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Honestly, I waited for this since last year, August because of Kwang Ryul. It has a promising start but the second half aroused a mysterious but a downhill ride. I get it that it has a mystery genre and I really tried to watch the second half, hoping that they will answer the few questions that I have but they failed to do it. The plot is interesting but the way they executed it is VERY MESSY and it annoyed me so much because I've waited for this for almost a YEAR. I looked forward for it because it is a fantasy rom-com and I did not expect to stuck here because of my fave and skipped a lot of scenes (including his scenes, the unnecessary business ones). The second part is depressing, frustrating, heavier and making me anxious every single time (there are still some wholesome eps but it is just 11,14,16) and I almost drop this because the plot went nowhere already it just made viewers go round and round and I got bored already because they are dragging the secrets and mysteries in further episodes. These are the questions that I have so far and I tried to think of it, critically yet I got no answers.

- Why did Misoo tell Seulbi that she can't change the future? From what I have seen from the previous episodes, they changed the future of the people they touch. And come on, she can just say to Sookwang, ''Please wear a bulletproof vest so you will not get shot by Dongsik'' and PARAH! No one will die or will be injured.

- The curse is transferred from generation to generation but it skipped Samjoong? so instead Minjoon is fated to have that curse from his grandfather? It doesn't make sense, seriously because they did not explain it very clearly. Very disappointing.

- Why the heck Misoo just told Samjoong about that 20 years secret? I mean, what's on her mind? The script also did not show any reasons why Misoo did that!!! So annoying.

- They were imprisoned for 20 years yet Misoo and Seulbi still defended Samjoong for his crimes, is that because he is the father? The writer is so illogical at this part.

- The production team is illogical too given that Geumhwa can afford electricity but the place is always dark and unlively. I know it is for some purpose (a dark aura, I guess) but still, I can't understand this to some aspects. The scene is boring because of this kind of set-up.

- Why Misoo is willing to lock up with her daughter? Just because she killed her mother? I hope she just let Seulbi lived outside world since her younger years since the Chairman is her father. This doesn't make sense too.

- The screentime for the main leads already lessen too much for the second half and it looks like the main narrative for the main couple is they have to solve the mysteries of the powers and curses, and solve the chaos left by the Seon Family. I feel pity for these characters. Writer should have done better for them because THEY ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS AND MAIN COUPLE.

- The Geumhwa secretary also admitted his faults and protected the chairman until the end. Lol. These people around the chairman sacrificed a lot for him. He must pay for his sins too. Being a father to the FL must not be an excuse.

- Seulbi is too good to be true. She forgave easily the Geumhwa Seon family because it is her real family? Nonsense.

- I was confused about what extent these witches of prophecy can see the future. As far as I remember, Misoo said (from one ep) that they can only see short future but Misoo saw young Sookwang's future 20 years later?. There's really an inconsistency.

- the relationship between the FL parents is so inconsistent too. They apparently have love-hate relationship because of each one's misjudgment. They also changed 360° suddenly after knowing FL's father. That's so weird. That's a mispoint, too.

I just loved their monologue lines here because I'm kinda relate sometimes and it speak of a reality.

For the music, I don't like it overall. I only like Junsu and Dongyeon's ost. The ending ost sometimes ruin the mood of the viewers. Example, the ending is sad or frustrating and the ending ost will be from Dongyeon's or ''You are my miracle'' ost. The ending ost doesn't fit most of the times .

The editing in transitions became a problem too in the late episodes. I hope the production company pays their editors sufficiently. Lol. The editing premise from beginning is too far to these recent episodes.

I also want to resent the writer and PD for ruining this drama despite its potential. It is not a healing drama anymore but a frustrating drama until the end. The main couple seems has happy ending but if you are planning to watch it, expect that there are some assorted and diverse stories that are really questionable and it is not recommended to REWATCH this. Like, never again lol.

For the casts, the acting is good except KDH. I just gave them 7/10 because KDH aka the 2nd ML pull it down. He is so emotionless and he can't deliver his lines, too. I hope that prod team casted a good actor suitable for Minjoon. I hope he improved a lot. Also, I did not expect that SH can pull out her character, childish Seulbi and also for NIW, he's into a comedic role, too. I felt sorry for the casts for having a bad script and miserable directing. Actors/actresses have no control for this. Just want to give an applause to Samjoong (I'm not being biased but many people praising his acting too lol) and Dongsik character by portraying their characters and the way they deliver the lines and emotions lol. Although my fave and some familiar faces are here, it is really not recommendable to watch it (only the first half lol so I gave it a shot of 2)

Also, some of the viewers are appealing if they just followed the webtoon, I think it is more dull if they will just follow the original and it is okay to add twists like what have you watched to the drama but it is annoying that they just executed this out of nowhere and seems there are drastic changes in the middle of scriptwriting. Seems like the director have a touch on it since I watched his previous work, River where the moon rises and some of his similar techniques can be distinguished to these two works.

NIW, SH, I am looking forward to a real romcom project for both of you. You both nailed the roles and I really love the chemistry. For the rest of the great casts, I hope you can find better pd and writer for your next projects. Don't make your acting talent a waste.

PS: Mr. Wang and Pi Dae Shik, love this overprotective and chaotic duo. Will miss them?

PPS: there's no problem in makjang type of story if they can execute it wisely and smoothly.

Maybe if you want some confusing and dragged plot twists and you are into diverse genre and you are also fan of one of the casts, this is for you but I will not recommend this.
