A Complete Waste of Time

If you're coming from watching any BLs that have actual story and good character and relationship development, you will be highly disappointed with this drama.
I was so excited to start watching this one because there was so much hype surrounding it, but it's truly one of the worst BL stories I've ever watched.
However, I didn't hate every part of it, so let me talk about what I liked before we get to the detriment of the story. The casting and OST are phenomenal for this series. I think Shinwoo and Taekyung look so cute together and are perfect for leads in this show. Namgoong is a fantastic character that adds a lot of interesting and funny parts to the story. Other than these points, however, there is not much good I can say about this show.
First off, the overall story is so. Incredibly. Boring. Literally nothing happens. It's just a high school love triangle story. I feel as though I'm slightly biased because I have quite a distaste for love triangles to begin with, but this one enraged me the most. Too much of the run time focuses on Taekyung's feelings for Daon, and it feels way too late for our main couple by the time it gets to them in the story. It feels kind of weird when they get together in the end because it feels like Taekyung just said "Well, the president won't confess how he really feels, might as well give Shinwoo a shot." I dunno. Something about it felt weird. Usually in BLs when there's a love triangle, it's pretty clear who is going to end up together, and the third piece of the triangle doesn't get that much screen time. It feels like the story wanted Taekyung to be with Daon, then changed its mind halfway through. I would've liked it more if Taekyung was denying his feelings for Shinwoo throughout the whole series, only to realize he's the only one to be with. Overall, it took me forever to get through this drama because it is literally so boring and the series is too long for the story it has. Not to mention the annoying female character who is always after Daon.
I never know why these BLs insist on having evil, obnoxious female characters, but she added truly nothing to the story, and was just a nuisance.
And then after getting through this whole series waiting for a big romantic ending, we get some quick, closed mouth, half-eye open K-drama kiss. I was incredibly disappointed. I literally felt like I had wasted my time.
If you enjoy stories that are very slow and don't have much plot to them, as well as a shallow love story, then you probably will enjoy this drama. If not, I'd stay away from this one. And of course if you don't like love triangle stories like myself, then avoid this one like the plague for sure.

A new favorite and a MUST WATCH for fantasy lovers!

Wow. All I can say is wow. I just finished this series after starting the final episode and then deciding I needed a full night's sleep so I'd have the energy to finish this series.

There's so much I want to say about this series. The acting, the production, the story, the characters, EVERYTHING. Everything was so high quality I loved it so so much. If you are like me and you love a good fantasy drama, this one should definitely be on your list.

It is a wonderful story and I think it is really great. It had just the right amount of drama, not too much, but just enough where you're probably in tears during the last two episodes like me. Hye Sun and Jae Jin's relationship was so sweet, I'm really glad they kept that through to the end and gave them a happy relationship. Dan and Seon Woo's little sister was a cute thing to start as well, and Soo Kyeong and Seok finally realizing their feelings, just so much love in the air! I almost wish we got a tad bit more for these new couples but all in all I think a happy ending is implied for those.

I almost wish the story didn't make Seon Woo so likeable, because part of me was really sad that he was alone in the end, I wish he could've at least got someone and not wound up alone, I really enjoyed the development of his character so much, yet he didn't get a happy ending :( All the side characters really added something special to this story.

Now... the main event.. Dam and Woo Yeo. WOW. Their on screen chemistry is truly magical. I enjoyed every second of their relationship throughout the entire show. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt towards Woo Yeo, as he was a character with which I had never seen before, but after finishing the series, I really love him. He was written differently from any other main character I had seen, and thats probably because he is 999 years old. I love that over the course of the story, he goes from being indifferent in his life, to learning how to become human, how to feel emotions, and learned love, sacrifice, and found his meaning in life and his will to live. Dam helped him discover that, and their relationship blossomed because of it. It was just such a good story, I loved every second of it.

Also shout out to the mountain spirit who I hated at first because of the whole red thread thing, but he actually ended up helping Woo Yeo. Making him think he was going to disappear helped him treasure his time with Dam, and use the last of his magic to save her, was genius. All in all, everyone got their happy ending. I thought it was cute that Hye Sun used her Bead wish to keep Jae Jin with her. My only question that remains, is Woo Yeo not granted a wish because his bead was cracking, and he used the wish to come back and be with Dam? Either way, I was very pleased with the ending, and this story. I will definitely be rewatching this one.

If you're on the fence whether to start this or not, watch it!! It truly is a story that will make you smile, cringe in embarrassment, and cry all in a few episodes.

A light-hearted watch

When I started watching the show, I was pretty unsure. The story is very set up like a typical k-drama romance. I wasn't particularly super enthralled by the story, however there were some sweet moments that made my smile. At the beginning, you're not really sure who Eun Ha Won was supposed to end up with, but it became clear that Ji Woon was the ultimate choice by the end. The one thing I didn't love the entire series is how mean the story was to Hye Ji. I feel like she never was able to catch a break. And Hyun Min was mean to her right up until the end of the series, and I just found myself feeling bad for her every episode, and it brought down some episodes.
Overall, this isn't a bad series. The casting was really well done, and the beginning to middle of the series was fun to watch. I haven't seen too many dramas, but I think the "rich brothers meet a girl" trope can be fun if done right. Would I watch this again? Probably not, but I feel like this is a good starter k-drama for those just getting into dramas.
Despite it being very similar to many other dramas (which is not necessarily bad) the camera work and execution of the important scenes really made the series. I'm a sucker for good camerawork, and this series checks that box for me.

I really wanted this to be good

This show started out really nicely. I was so excited for this bodyguard trope. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was hoping for.
The series started out really strongly, however, I felt at times that the camera work was weird in some scenes, and Gun's acting is a bit rough. I felt like this was a weird character for him to play. I saw him previously in Love by Chance, and that character made sense for him to play. During some of the emotional scenes and scenes where he was angry, it was clear that he had to really try to act, and it kind of ruined some of the scenes for me.
I actually didn't make it to the last episode, because my sister told me how it ended and I was so disappointed that I couldn't bear to finish it.
I wanted this series to be so good and I wanted to love it so bad and I loved Boat's acting, but it just didn't hit the bar for me. The story and the concept itself have so much potential, but perhaps if it was with a different cast or maybe under a different studio it could've been so much better.
The silver lining for me was that the on-screen chemistry between Sun and Sky was definitely there and was sweet at times, but it was just the mounting of everything else that made me give it the rating I did.
