Hello my first review. As a super casual k drama fan ( seen less than 5) I am extremely conflicted on this show.

Let’s keep the good good. The cast is fantastic and the production and music was so special that I was convinced during the shows run that this was a once in a lifetime classic.

But without writing an essay I can just say that the bad is bad. The storyline was a fantastic procedural... new cop solving ghost cases with his immortal goddess. I like a lot of the twists and cases.

The problem is that they turned it mid way through to a central storyline and went halve ass on everything. Sanchez girlfriend... main leads mom... even the bartender stories. No substance at all

Than the love story was non committal. I can’t for the life of me convince my wife the main character even likes IU. He made no effort except acceptance. If this was a show about accepting death... I seen many people tell their sick love ones they love them. They don’t just eat meals and wait for a cry scene.

Also laziness at end. They introduce time travel... Childhood connection... IU not losing memories on bridge.... reincarnation... multiple gods with conflicting goals.... but nothing explored just a quick give up and painting fantasy.

I can tell from the show that the main lead is smarter than me. And I can easily see a path to save her. He even bought her to the past to see snow.... (freakin send her to the bridge in the past!)

Anywho. Lack of effort and interest after the past life means that the writers thought episode 14 was the ending. Shame they didn’t end there
