I was drawn to this drama for the supernatural element and the aesthetic.
I rather liked the world-building and was left wanting to see more of this world, so I’m glad there will be a second season.

NJH is not a favorite of mine and I think she was fairly weak here. She’s pretty bland. I also didn’t care for her character that much. Yes, the witch should tell people what the consequences will be in order for their wishes to come true, but I found the ending confirming her viewpoint that the price was too high unsatisfying. The whole point is that we all make choices and that sometimes things come with a high price. The drama basically ended with the notion that we should get something for nothing. I guess that should satisfy a previous reviewer who felt if one has the power to grant wishes, there should be no cost, but it didn’t satisfy me. I also worry about how a second season will go with a witch who is essentially a fairy godmother.

I know it was apparently controversial, but I was not put off by the age difference in the potential romance and thought Gil Young was one of the better parts of this drama. I only wished Jung Jin would have shown more interest in him. He radiates warmth and his devotion to her is swoon-worthy. On her end, she’s not exactly a high-flying career woman, so I did not feel as if they were all that far apart.
