Perhaps some people are drawn by bromance. But the female mountain god is a more interesting character than that mermaid. I don't know. I just seem to find her very boring ?. I want someone more for my Rang.
She is a sweet girl and their love story is cute. She is a supporting character anyway. I like that their romance is not in front and center but enough to see Lee Rang in another aspect of his life. I remember reading that he will have a short but intense love story. Even if she will die, he is growing emotionally so I don`t know why some of his fans don`t like it. From what I saw, Lee Rang spent quality times with his brother, and that is great. Plus, he started to open up with another person, he has falling in love. I say it is a plus from what was in S1.
Hong Joo is more interesting. I am watching for her but even I have would have wanted a story of her own, something more meaningful but it is alright. I still enjoy the characters, their dynamic, different deities/folklore characters, even if the story lacks in many aspects.
