Wonderful Drama
I was looking forward to this drama and waited for it to air and finish before watching. Im sooo happy that i watched it, it was my favorite drama of 2020, and there was a lot of wonderful Cdrama that can easily be favorites as well.. but this one, idk it just touched my heart.I absolutely loved the MC, they were just beautiful, i loved the idea of a strong ceo female lead, she chases the guy, but it was soo funny and different, i loved her character. ML was great as well, he was so real and sweet, his back story would make you feel so much compassion for him you may just cry. What i loved is that in the second half, they both had character development, we see the things they struggled with in the first half changes. It was a really great drama, I can't wait to rewatch this. I know its going to be one of those drama's that i watch once every year hahahha. Yes i loved it that much, i guess the chemistry and the emotions i got from the MC was just great for me, and there romance as well.
Give it a chance, its not your typical girl annoyingly chases the guy... its quite the reverse and they made it work!.
**I just re-watched this drama and honestly It's truly one of the best contract marriage, with an amazing ending, love it so much

Romantic
This was such a lovely romance drama, it may have the same story as others, but it was different in many ways, and I'm soo happy I give it a chance. I find myself binging this even though I thought I wouldn't. There were some moments I skipped, due to flashbacks, but this show, the romance and the MC it was worth watching. The romance literally started as soon as they started their contract relationship, it felt so real and natural, and soo realisticI'll be honest at first I wasn't sure where all those 10/10 reviews were about, but as I decided there must be something hidden in this drama to have so much great reviews, and boy am I happy I sticked with it, and this is why...
I love how it wasn't done the same way as other contract relationships drama, I love the romance that was everything in this. The leads had such great chemistry. I love the way the ML looked at the FL, and boy the way he kissed that woman... gosh, that was something!! The FL I love her personality in this drama, she wasn't annoying, she wasn't that shy, she was so kind, bold, beautiful, and yet so meek. There were a lot of chacater growth in this as well, well especially the ML. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but based on the situations if you used subs, the music was actually tied into that, i thought that was soo cute lool.

My Honest Review (it may not be considered spoilers, but just in case)
I just finished watching this and I'm going to give my honest honest review.While i have to agree with some of the thing other review mentioned, i still enjoyed this show
So this is my thoughts
1. My biggest thing is that, everyone was upset about a particular death of a character, but tbh that chacaters though had great development i understood why they had to die, even though it was a choice, there life got messed up and they became evil, and killed a lot of people, this person is also the one who released that bad guy, for his own reason, he also was living on lives of humans, but his chacaters developed and he started to change. But i guess if you look at it as i guess paying for your sins then you could understand that it was kind of his punishment. I know it sounds harsh, but i understood it that way and also about the choice, he did it for the person he loved the most. But the good thing is, they came back at the end, though not the same, but i find there incarnation life would be better for them, they would'nt have to go through the bad things they did, so gim giving his life really was better for him, cause before he knew he was going to hell.. his destiny changed after that choice.
2. The acting was pretty good to me, Lee dong wook and kim bum especially did a great job, FL did a great job when she had to shift to the other bad role, the side characters all did a great job as well, it was different seeing the villain, never seen him as a villain but he did a good job to me.
3. I really liked the story, its different from the other gumiho stories, i loved all the different myths and folklore, and the fantasy that it had incorporated, and the action as well, that's what kept me.
4. Tbh i would have to somewhat agree, at first the chemistry of the leads was great, but as you go on i honestly skipped some of there scene, only in one episode though, i guess it may be because of some cliches. I actually enjoyed the action and fantasy more than the romance, but there interactions was good, they had some great moments and mannnnn there first rain kiss scene was epic!!!! lool the leads, they did a great job, but i cannot deny that i felt a lack of chemistry at some point.
5. I also somewhat agree with other reviews regarding the FL, she was soo good at the start and so independent, but then idk what happen, i kinda understand though, cause she went from being in her only human world, to now seeing and being around mythical creatures and so on, she was a mere human, not sure what else she could have done. For that i wish they had wrote something better for her, in those parts. But she did a great job either way.
So, although i I wouldn't rewatch this, there is plenty of shows that i loved and wouldn't rewatch lool. But it does not mean it was bad. I loved all the fantasy stuff and the acting, i loved the story of the brothers, my only issue tbh is the lack of chemistry between the leads, later in the series, but they tried and they had some great moments. I loved the last scene, some people say no, but whether it has a season two or not, the last scene was just really awesome to finish it off. Just know, its a better ending scene than vagabond if you seen it lool
Soo...
If you're going for the romantic, although it wasn't as i expected, it was not bad, so that's going to be your choice, there interactions were really cute though. bromance is good between the brothers, they did a phenomenal job!!!
If you're into fantasies, supernatural and so on, then this is full of that, watch this drama.
I'm a hopeless romantic and i actually skipped some of the romance in one of the later episode, maybe 15 lool. It wasn't because it was bad, it was a few typical scenes. I guess for me, I was enjoying the fantasy, the mystery and suspense so much.

Great for a quick watch
I watched this on viki with a rating of over 9.0, so I was so surprised to see it rated so low here, anyway...This was soo funny, sweet and entertaining... it truly has that reality tv style and everything which i really liked... i laughed a lot, it was soo cringy, but funny cringy.
If you're looking for something quick to watch, when you're bored give it a try.. its meant to be short and sweet, don't over analyze it...
I plan to rewatch this when I'm bored, it was that funny and entertaining.

My lowest review ever, unfortunately.
So, where should i begin. I was minding my own business enjoying this 70 episode Cdrama, and then the final episode came, and the last 5 mins of the show, and that ruined everything for me.This could has easily become one if the great historical drama out there, the acting was phenomenal, i loved the ML and i loved the FL, i loved the story, i loved the chemistry and relationship between the leads as well. i loved the costumes and all the political stuff too, and I don't usually like those, but it was great.
But.... like are you kidding me, after everything that happened, the way it ended was sooo sad and disappointing. I kinda understand that there was too much animosity between the fallen kingdom and the current one, but to end like that, after all the ML did to save and protect her, after so many people died for her, I couldn't think anything else but that I ⁷wasted 70 hours of my life for such a sad and depressing ending. Maybe if it had been done a different way, but the way it was done, it wasnt worth it for me. That last scene with FL it ruined all for me and i felt like i wasted my time. They went through way too much and too many people died for her to end that way.
We all have our own preference, so the ending isn't a happy one, not only that its just tragic so watch on your own accord.
