Pretty enjyable hot demon
This drama is an easy binge, or at least the first 9 or 11 episodes where easy to binge and pretty much went in one go but then I had to take. a break due to starting it a bit to early while airing which kind of killed the fun.
It could be that it really got a bit draggy in those last episodes or it could be the lost momentum but one thing is certain I enjoyed it more in the beginning than towards the end. As I enjoyed the dynamics between the god, the bad, the really really really bad... the past the present, the bickering, the cold... and the eye candy and the spontaneous combustions...
Though watching this had me convinced that the screenwriters of Korea must have made a bet sometime last year about creating the most twisted and deepest bond between characters as thins is another drama who is not satisfied with the shallow childhood connection and digs deeper, darker and bloodier in to the past. While 200 years is a lot less than other previous drams with up to 1500 years Id say this one manages to achieve the twisted connection rather well.
There are a few odd religious connotations here ant thee that did not really float my boat, and again some of the overall messages about mental health and desperation are kind of meeh.
The umbrellas in this drama are lovely, the music fit the scenes perfectly and the use of water, fire and watches a pleasure for my eyes. The PPL funny, colourful and impossible to miss... You must be able to find joy in PPL or you will probably hate this drama.
The predictability varies, and I do believe there where some new twists to our otherwise well known tropes. The level of annoying characters was kept to a decent level , there where a few but they did not take over to much or lower the score and well that is about it.
So basically not a masterpiece, not really a great watch but if you can handle your clices this is not a bad place to find them..
P.s. I would not mind having a deamon like Jung Koo Won at my disposal... could do without the selling my soul.. but they did do a pretty god job convincing me it may be worth it...
