I have this weird obsession with vampires so I decided to give this drama a try. When I read the plot I was intrigued. But to say I enjoyed this drama would be a lie. I was bored during the first episode and the only thing I liked was the last few mins when we meet the Main Woman Lead. I kept telling myself maybe it will get better but to be honest it was so boring and bleak. The only reason I kept watching The Scholar Who Walks At Night was because I had never seen such a beautiful man like Lee Soo Hyuk. Another reason is that of Lee Joon Gi, Since I loved him in Scarlet Heart Ryeo, I thought I would love him in this one as well but I was deeply wronged. I felt like Lee Joon Gi's acting in this was a very poor and not one of his best performances. No one in the drama except the two main leads got solid back stories and I didn't care much for any of them and the main couple had no chemistry what so ever, their love felt forced and dull. I DO NOT RECOMMEND watching this.

Form your own opinion of the show/ igonre the reviews

If you are having doubts about watching this cause of the bad reviews, don't listen to them. Form your own opinion on this show cause honestly, it's not that bad.


My thoughts on the show:

-Episode 1: This is so good why are people hating on it?

-Episode 3: I almost dropped it cause I was not too fond of her returning to the future and her past self not knowing what she knows.

-Episode 4: The brother & best friend contribute nothing, just a waste of screen time.

-Episode 5: I like it so far but why tf are we adding murder and kidnapping to this?

-Episode 8: I like that there was no time travel in this episode and it is just their new lives in 2023.

-Episode 9: so I'm guessing time doesn't stop if she says she's from the future, only if she says details from the future?

-Episode 10: okay so now we are changing the future again which I like. Also, why tf was this negatively reviewed bombed? Like it's not gonna be my favorite drama but it's better than average.

-Episode 11: The ML is so adorable, his love for the FL is so cute. So far this was my favorite episode.

-Episode 12: Sol is kinda dumb... I agree with someone else's comment "Wouldn't it change the future if you went with them instead of staying in the same town you saw getting yourself hurt?!?? "

-Episode 13: how can she give her brother numbers to win prize money in the future? Why didn't time stop? Is that allowed now? Isn't that telling her brother about the future? I guess there are more loopholes to telling someone about the future, as long as it's not super detailed about others' lives or their own. I also think if they figure it out themselves then it's also okay.
-Well, at least he's not dead. It's sad though because in the first timeline, he loved her, and she didn't know, In the second timeline she knew he loved her and they loved each other later on. In the third timeline only she knows that they love each other and she loves him from afar.

-Episode 14: I like how they turned down the craziness for this episode.

-Episode 15: honestly this show isn't bad, it just feels like the writer didn't know where to go with the plotline and went in all directions. It's funny how this is a sci-fi show, a cop show, a romance show, a slice of life. I don't mind it but I can see how others didn't like how it didn't just pick one genre and stuck with it.

-Episode 16- The FL can be dumb at times but honestly she's not annoying idk why the reviews say that.

----->Final Thoughts:
I saw a review saying that the ending was unsatisfying, I don't agree. I do believe logic is thrown out the window in this show and it can drag towards the end but overall the show itself was good. It won't be one of my top Kdramas but I do believe it deserves a higher rating then what the reviews are giving it. I also saw someone saying that this Kdrama is overrated, I don't think it's highly rated enough. So many of the reviews that I first saw when I thought about watching this show were the lowest of the low. They were all saying stuff about the show. I don't think this is a 10-star show in my opinion but I don't agree with most reviews rating this drama less than 4 stars. I should sometimes stop listening to reviews because Goblin is one of the most praised and popular Kdramas ever and yet I hated the main characters and couldn't even finish it.

A few months ago I started watching this drama and a few minutes in I had to pause and stop watching it because it didn't feel like the right time to watch it. A month ago I finally decided it was the perfect time to watch Moon Lovers: Scarlet heart Ryeo and boy did it not disappoint. I'm a tough person to please but with this drama, I fell in love with every second of it. I love all the characters and actually cried like a baby towards the end. After it ended I was a sobbing mess but I still wanted more. (p.s. My favorite of all the princes was the thirteenth prince. )
Straight to the point of where I'm trying to get at is that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drama.

First I want to start by saying I have nothing against anyone who was a part of this drama and this review is my opinion of the show as a whole.

Pro:
Gong Hyo Jin is so adorable in this.
Episode 9 was a rollercoaster ride for my heart.

Con:
The ghosts aren't even scary.
I was rooting more for the second leads to get together then the main leads.
Everything started to get better around episode 9.
The story and backstory felt weak and boring to a point I had to take breaks and come back when I was ready to continue.

Overall: it's not rewatchable but at least watch it once.

Do I Recommend? Yes
Will you hate me for it? Yes
Will you regret watching the show? Yes

The show is not a masterpiece. At times it lacks some excitement that was promised. It's dull for half of the episodes of the show. When it does pick up it feels rushed since it doesn't truly pick up until the last few episodes. It has a lot of boring political stuff that has nothing to do with the plot or isn't important enough. Many of the storylines aren't relevant.
Although most of the time it is boring, you just can't stop watching because of some of the characters. Especially the adoptive father. Episode 14 can go to hell for making me cry like a little girl. Some episodes will make you angry or really sad or just plain depressed. Honestly, I don't regret watching iljimae but that ending did all of us who dedicated our time to watch it, dirty. No one truly had a happy ending. Just a somewhat okay ending for all involved. It felt rushed.
All in all, I don't regret watching it and I truly do recommend it but you will hate yourself and me when you finish it.
It's worth it though.

It's okay..... Just okay.

I have no idea why this is so highly rated. I gave it the benefit of the doubt since I was on vacation and downloaded all 14 episodes. I will admit the show at times made me cry because of the mother-son relationship. I understand that the mother in her mind had reasons for what she did when he was growing up but I do not believe it's as black and white as to say she's all bad. Like the title say she is both Good/bad. I was waiting for everyone to know he is the father and the kids too but they didn't give us the reaction just the aftermath, which spoiler it's a good ending and they get married which isn't a bad thing but I stuck it out till the end so I could see the reaction and yet the kids mention it for 5 seconds in the last episode and that's it. The plot with the bad guys was very lackluster and made me skip over so many of the scenes when they were on screen
