I'm trying to like this show but my interest in started dropping by Ep 4 and it took me a while to pick it back up again Ep5.

The FL becomes annoying as she comes off not only as desperate but almost obsessed and pathetic towards the ML. Of course, it's easy to see that she gets mixed msgs from the ML but even though he rejects her, she doesn't give up.

Then we have to watch this cruel deity and a foolish "fairy", the ML, just basically hash it out for what? Because the ML accidentally shot himself with his own arrow and fell in love with the wrong woman? Makes no sense that the deity wouldn't be able to lift the spell of the cupid's arrow. Whatevs. Why is that deity, (God of Fate),such an a-hole anyways?

Then about the ML...You would think that after living 500 years in punishment and also cruelly subjecting his friends to the same punishment, that the ML would learn a lesson. Even after the fact that two women that he opened his heart to not only died, but one was viciously murdered. But did he learn his lesson? Nope. Apparently not. His selfishness stirs up more trouble. Not only he is selfish in regards to his friends who are suffering from the same punishment but his selfishness towards the lives of women who have died or who are in danger because he opened his heart to them. After the murder of one of the women, you'd think he would self-sacrifice his feelings to prevent any future tragedies and murders, but it's apparent that it isn't heading that way. It also makes no sense that his friends don't seem to concerned that he might fall back in love.

The perilla leaf scene and the FL getting jealous of her friend being helped is the stupidest, childish writing. I don't get how she's supposed to be a grown, career woman but she acts like a highschooler in love with her crush. Her character is so immature and childish. The ML specifically tells the FL not to go out and of course, she goes out. Why are they making these women so dumb? I'm also so over this FL being drunk all the time. It's too much. Alcoholism isn't attractive. I'm losing count how many times she been piggybacked home. It's such a writer's cop out and an excuse to add unnecessary kissing scenes. Why not just be sober and courageous at the same time? This is just lazy writing to me.

Worst of all, the storylines and genres of this drama goes all over the place. One minute we see the past Joseon era, then there's present time and the recent murder, then it goes back to that past of the other murders, then there's the love triangle, in the Joseon past and present time, then there's the FL and ML rom-com antics that seems so out of place. Their characters are so immature at most points all the while there's a serial killer on the loose. And then we go back to past lives and back and forth all over the place. Then the deity shows outta nowhere. Then there's the ML's useless friends and what's the point of the dog turning back to a human sometimes? After 500 years, you'd think that all these guys would be very wise, mature and serious. But apparently their lives just seem to be spent being lazy and good for nothing but basically shooting love arrows. Even that whole storyline gets randomly put in. We stopped hearing about the punishment being over soon, then it's back on topic. So when exactly will the metamorphosis happen? Also, the ML being a cupid, sometimes they want you to think he's powerful but you can't take him seriously because he looks so young and his actions are often immature.

It feels like mutiple different writers wrote different versions of this drama and they mashed all the ideas together awkwardly and while it lies in a messy pile, they randomly pull out scripts.

I'll update my post at the end if I can make it that far without dropping it. Finished ep6 atm.
