Pardon my French but (major major spoilers btw)

Oh shit oh fuck what even was that? I’m pacing my room bc I don’t even know how to contain all these emotions. I totally spoiled myself and knew the ending was sad but holy God it was so much worse than I ever could have imagined. But it was so good at the same time. Like it was better than I pictured it but also way fucking worse. THEY HAD A KID??!! From the way the drama was going I was like ok, they’re gonna have a romance, they’re gonna be “in love” for a few months, she’s gonna die, he’s gonna be sad, but he’ll probably move on in the future and she will accomplish her little bucket list and go to heaven. That’s kinda sad but could be worse. I jinxed it. I totally jinxed it. I was kind of spacing out during the rooftop scene so I didn’t pick up on the fact that she was planning on staying for 7 more years. I thought she was just saying random nonsense to make the grim reaper save her little idol. But she stayed for seven years to save her love and then she took the spot of the grim reaper’s daughter? Omg this is like that Chinese drama (which I won’t name but if you know you know) where her husband died from poison like 5 years down the line. Why they gotta do this to me!? The only way to make a sad ending more sad is by making them live happy lives together only to take that happiness away a few years later. I’m literally tearing up just thinking about her smiling and hugging her kid being like, “it’s my time now” and him just looking at her with tears in his eyes, knowing he can’t do anything and their time together is over. Ugghhhh that cuts deep. I gotta rewatch that, that was so good. On a more negative note, this is what I wrote down before I watched the ending (I write reviews as I go sometimes): “I usually don’t mind nonsensical romances but this one was just too much for me. Their attraction for each other came out of nowhere, and in general, the entire reason why they initially started hanging out makes no sense. If I was a star, the last thing I’d want to do is take the girl that stalked me, stole my dog, broke into my house, and tackled me on stage on a date. That wasn’t enough, however, because she behaved in the creepiest way the entire time she was around him. She openly idolized him, and while that’s understandable, I can’t imagine how you can have a romantic relationship with that type of person. I don’t really understand die-hard fans, so to me the whole fangirl culture is almost like legalized and socially acceptable stalking. I can’t imagine falling in love with someone like that.” Um yeah, and this is the reason why I can’t in good faith give this drama a higher rating, although that ending will always be a 10/10 and if their romance was done better, you bet this drama would’ve been at LEAST a 9. Yeah, overall their romance doesn’t make a lot of sense, and worldbuilding was rather confusing (there’s a LOT of corruption in the underworld, who knew?) but I think I’d still recommend this to others because I love crying and this is a 10/10 tearjerker. If anything, watch for the ending. Happy (sad) watching! :)
