Roller coaster ride

First and foremost, i literally just finished watching this drama and i cried a river while watching the last two episodes. Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum just got me in tears.

Secondly, Lee Yeon and Lee Rang are one hell of a handsome nine tailed foxes. I was totally captivated by their handsome faces and that alone is a 9 for me.
Next, cinematography and CGI are so beautiful that it will make you want to visit such places. Effects are so realistically done, so it pays off to have a really big budget when you do fantasy drama like this.

The storyline, though its not a-so-unique story anymore, you know immortal falling in love with a human and human sacrificing her life for the sake of the immortal only to be reborn again and destiny will find itself doing the same thing again.. that kind of cliche drama.. but its pretty much good overall because of some twists and unexpected turn of events.

For the love story part, lee dong wok is sooo gorgeous and bo-ah is also pretty but im sorry to say that i didnt feel any strong chemistry between them at all. Both actors can be both pretty and handsome but both should have strong chemistry so that the audience can feel their emotions and love for each other. Well, maybe im the only one and you may disagree with me, its just my thoughts and opinion after all. So, in the end, even if i was enthralled by each thrilling episodes, the love story part is just a so-so for me. What makes me hook with this drama is Lee Yeon, Lee Rang and and Yu Ri, who has a very interesting character.

From episode 1 to 14, it was a roller coaster ride of emotions for me. There's comedy, mind boggling scenes, aegyo, drama, action. But i cried so much come ep 15 and 16. Not so much because of the love story between Yeon and Ji-ah but more because of the love between brothers, Yeon and Rang. I was touched by their love for each other. Although in descreet manners and as if they hate each other, but the look in their eyes tells you otherwise. The sacrifice that Rang made for Yeon in the end proves just how much he loves his brother. I gave a 9 rating because in the end, the sacrifice that Yeon made just for Ji ah to be saved has been wasted when Ji Ah suddenly wants to die again for Yeon, thats why Rang sacrificed himself so that his brother's death would not go to waste because of ji ah. It would have been better if they ended it as it is.. yeon died for his first love. Well, this is just me. Of course, viewers will always love a happy ending, and that inudes me also. But it still depends on how the story goes by.

Nevertheless, i still rated it 9 and a rewatched value of 9 also, all because of Lee Yeon and Lee Rang.

First of all, i love han ji min and jung hae in. I think they perfectly fit well as a couple. If only for the acting, i have rated it 10 but the storyline was a bit too cliche already. Although the story is quite okay but not very good. In my opinion, as a reviewer, they could've done a bit more twist to it. Plus the middle part of the episodes became too draggy. But as expected, jung hae in can really make you fall in love by just looking in his eyes. You can feel the emotions with his body and facial expressions. I just wish that there were more to it in the story. Neverthless, the drama is still okay to watch one time. But nothing new for me.
