This is one of my first reviews so.. don't go hard on me and my english skills (thanks).
Watched the drama for the actor. I never read the manga, never heard of this drama, so zero expectations. At first it looked really interesting as to where it'd go with all the supernatural stuff, all the powers and Gods, their world and so on.. all I can say is what a sad love story! (and pretty boring, actually). There was nothing interesting or intriguing about the plot whatsoever. I can point out a few things I didn't like.
The main thing I was disappointed by was the villain (?). Call him what you want to call, I expected more fighting scenes, more action, more revenge, maybe a death of some sort. I expected clash of two worlds as the enemy was a half-God creature. All I got was some jealous scenes, one meaningless death and disappointment.
The drama is based on supernatural creatures. Gods.. waiting the whole drama for Habaek to show his powers and use them in some way, waiting for some nice CGI moment with water, some scenes in Gods' world. This drama is not for those, who like supernatural stuff, because for the most part, there's nothing like that in it! Waiting is what got me upset and I almost dropped this drama lol.
The only thing I liked were the first few episodes. They were funny and interesting, but as the drama went on, it became boring to the point where I could tell what will happen. And guess what.. I guessed almost everything right. I'd say it's not the worst drama I've ever watched, not the best either. I'd say it's an easy watch, something to be played in the background when you're doing stuff. It's not a drama where you have to connect the dots to make a conclusion, there's literally not much in it.
All in all, I'd never rewatch it, unless I'll ever run out of dramas to watch (not anytime soon). The plot and the way they tried to "include" supernatural abilities in the story is underwhelming. I was disappointed, so a solid 4 from me.
P.S. I know they based it off of a manga, so I don't know the original story. Because of this, take my review as things I'd like to change.
