First of all, warning ! I'm one of those with an unpopular opinion. Who knows how much hate I will get for writing this, but I seriously don't even care anymore. I TRYED to like it. I liked it during the first few episodes, then I started to TRY and like it. When you realize that you're desperately trying to find something to save a story then that's when you have to eventually come to terms with the fact that what you're watching is not as good as you hoped. I must say that the story started out great. I adored the main guy's irresponsible, sarcastic and laid-back behaviour and I loved the concept of the heroine, I generally love fantasy romance stories just for the supernatural element which I always find refreshing and limitless in potential...But that's where this drama dies and gets burried for me. It's clear from around episode 5 or 6 that it'll be a heavily repetitive storyline, with the same issues coming up over and over again, only to get once again into the same damn issue formulated in a slightly different way. It gets dragged to the limits of the word "dragging" and I had to stop around episode 9 for a loooong time before picking it up again, just because it turned out so ridiculously boring and predictable. Then around episode 10 I started to stop even caring what was happening with all the new problems and ridiculous roundabout solutions just for the sake of melodrama. Even the comedy starting turning really annoying in the end; when you keep insisting on the same pun over and over again, it'll just stop being funny. That combined with the absolute nonsense and convenient ending made out of it an absolute chaos that you either choose to buy because of guilty pleasure or you just don't and move on. Characters wise, there's nobody that particularly stands out. The two main protagonists were nice at the beginning, but as much character development that they got, they keep being bi-dimensional personas and stereotypes in the end. I liked Dong Ju to an extent though, that before I realized that the director probably liked to see No Min Woo looking mysterious, while repeating 100 times the same damn lines and always appearing in front of the main characters to announce the start or the end of a certain event. If it was because he thought we forgot the situation as viewers, then I'm sorry, I don't think we're that stupid. If he tried to be the sexy, mysterious guy, then okay. I give him that. He managed to be sexy! Though that might be plain subjective from my side, since I really like No Min Woo overall. It kind of bothered me how his character tried to act as a type of puppet master through the show, but in the end he failed because he kept pulling out random solutions when at first there were supposed to be none. He just kept discrediting himself....The rest of the cast is pretty forgettable: the always oblivious friends, the evil second girl, the comedy relief, AND I want to concentrate on the extra comedy relief couple, Min Sook and Director Ban, or the "action couple" They were really the only thing that I kept enjoying to follow from beginning to end and managed to bring a smile to my face despite the rageful red that I kept seeing in all the other parts in the second half of the drama. Oh and I have to make a honorary mention that goes to Go Mi Nyu and Jeremy from You're beautiful ! It was nice seeing them again as appearances, since I really liked that drama and my love for Hongki is quite big. The OST is nice in the beginning, but as I went on I realized that it has no shades whatsoever. They put on repeat the same songs over and over again and I first noticed it with Dong Ju's theme song, Trap. Despite loving the song to death, it can't be that I have to listen to it everytime Dong Ju is on screen, completely ignoring his own state of heart. I found it to give a very bad atmosphere of how am I supposed to feel. And no. Knowing about his feelings or anybody's feelings doesn't necessarily make me feel bad for anybody if I keep hearing a song that has nothing to do with the actual feeling I'm supposed to get. It just contrasts it, so automatically I feel less emotional. Overall, I'm sorry but besides the concept, the acting and the general ost (not the use of it), there aren't many things I enjoyed about this drama...Just wanted it to end.
