Fell flat
Had potential but alas didn’t quite hit the mark!
Cons:
- Weak plot. Way too many plot holes. Like why could she hear plants then all of a sudden not? Why did that guy just choose not to talk? These are the generic ones that come to mind without spoilers. I won’t go deep into the main story because there’s a lot to unpack. But here’s the gist- Essentially, a lot of nonsensical things happen to support the progression but there’s absolutely no rhyme or reason to any of it! Lazy writing IMO. The constant teasing was annoying too. They hinted at major plot reveals a gazillion times to the point where when it was actually revealed, I was left with nothing more than disappointment. This affected the next topic…
- Side characters are not likable, like at all. The hints mentioned earlier also have to do with the context/reasons for the characters actions. So by the time the reveals happened, I already hated the second leads. The timing was off and therefore it was just too hard to sympathize and understand their motivations. Overall made for very poor character development…. And that’s why Yongyong was my favorite side character.
- chemistry/romance was mediocre. The build up just wasn’t there for me.
- Acting - ugh the overacting is so cringe. The lip quivers in the beginning almost made me drop it. It does get better but the first several episodes are rough.
- product placement: it’s there, it’s in your face. I’ve seen worst but one scene in particular felt like a Hyundai commercial
Pros: (if these appear like a desperate grasp at straws, it’s because it is!)
- God realm had a nice set design if you can look past the awful wigs which I can only assume were purchased from Shein.
- In general, romance was not that great BUT there were some cute scenes with the ML and FL
- Shirtless Nam Joo-hyuk (minus the cringe water can scene >.<
- nice cinematography, the “first kiss” scene comes to mind. The colors and atmosphere are absolutely beautiful
- I really liked the Glass Bridge song. Rest of the OST is forgettable, also much like this drama
