A love story that doesn't make any sense
How to begin my review, I don't even know where to start because from beginning this drama is all over the place with so many plot holes.
1. ML IS CUPID WHO IS PUNISHED FOR FALLING IN LOVE WITH AN HUMAN 500 years ago by his master god. Ok maybe god has weird rules, but he also has 3 colleagues who are also cupids like him but they all can date freely. I thought maybe god is ok with dating but not okay with cupid falling in love. But by 11th episode a tiny 9 year old looking god comes and intervenes in the fate making cupid fall in love. Is this like one god saying " i don't agree with you , a cupid can fall in love", while other god is like "cupid deserves to be punished, they shouldn't fall in love with human".
2. FL falls for cupid because he is handsome and the fact he didn't get hurt when he is with her because FL is someone who brings bad luck to men around her, which makes them get physically hurt. Due to ML handsomeness and ability to not get injured, she loves him. But till 11 episodes, no matter how many times ML reject her weakly and also not totally reject like you know clear message "hey incase you didn't know I don't like you ever, no matter how many times you confess". ML plays with her heart like tug and pull because he couldn't reveal the secret he is a cupid to FL yet instead of avoiding her or at least drawing a proper line between them, he plays with her heart, constantly giving her hope he will accept her one day. FL is all like I love him because he is handsome and we are meant to be together. Like that's all the reason their is to love. While ML who is currently getting punished for falling in love 500 years ago, not only he was being punished for 500 years, his colleagues are also getting punished for what he did. Apparently cupids are supposed to do their set service for certain no. of years on earth and later they get relieved from their job and can go to heaven. But because ML fallen in love, which is against the master god policy, his colleagues also got punished to stay another 500 years on earth. Now you would think ML at least for this colleagues sake who had to wait another 500 years to attain fulfillment and couldn't because of him might stop himself falling in love again in the current timeline as they are too close to finishing their duty and go to heaven, but no ML has to be selfish and fall in love again , and not care his colleagues who had also suffered for 500 years.
3. There is serious serial killer story in middle of this love story, a killer who took more than 5 lives. Half the time is about serial killer, half the time it is about FL being " please ML, please love me", I will love you no matter what. There is no real chemistry.
We sometimes go back to visit their previous life in Joseon dynasty, where from the first episode to now, it is the same scenes and one or two new Joseon scenes now and then. It is always the same scene of Fl falling clip, ML saving her, ML who a cupid being shot his own arrow which is the reason he felling in love with FL. His love isn't even natural. ML fall in love because the nine year old god I was saying purposely turned the arrow towards cupid himself. And these scenes get repeated in every episode.
We also have blatant display of shallowness. ML has three cupids who are his colleagues as well as friends, one of them is a old and average looking guy. They made his character pathetic by showing him constantly getting rejected by women because he is not good looking and this fact is used for comedy relief. And the character acts so stupid like he doesn't even know why girls are rejecting him. You know for a cupid who is on earth for like 500 years and visited many mirrors, one could figure out why are getting rejected and not be clueless, especially a cupid who is expert of love. Not only they made that character dumb, but also made him a low iq one who is as clueless as a hamster.
For a romance story, half the time is about serial killer which goes no where even at 11th episode, and other half time is FL whining to ML we have to be together. There is no chemistry or whatsoever. The show is so shallow, it is based on looks, we have to be together dialogues, I love you no matter what, we got shot by arrow so I'm in love that's it, but there is no real compatibility between any of the leads. The story is not going anywhere, same repeated scenes, too many plot holes and bland dialogues.
If you want to watch a show, that only has pink visuals and handsome characters, that looks all fluffy but no real substance, this is the right drama.
