Don't know how to feel
It was a good plot. at the beginning I was sure it was going to be one of my favorite k-dramas but somewhere along the was i got lost. It was a mess. A hot mess sure but still a mess. You didnt drown but didnt swim either. You had to pay alot of attention to smallest deatil as to not get lost.Sure the plot and the story are good. The acting is not that bad either. The relationshitp develops at a good pace.
The brothers Lee Yeon and Lee Rang were hands down the most well thought out part and that could be seen. The actors had a lot of chemistry on set and they expressed bbeautifully the depth of emotions of the two characters.
The ending... it was achoice? It was a thought, something left unsaid and uncertain Personally it left me a little bitter. But it wasn't the worst.
Bittersweet.
I didnt hate it. I still somehow consider it a good k-drama. Would i recomend it? I f you like this type of series [ fantasy, roance] yes sure . Just dont have too high of expectations. Face it with a smile and don't think too much so it leaves you with a sweet aftertaste

Mesmorising
I didn't expect much at the beginning but it turned out to be one of my favorite k-dramas.The love triangle. Nothing new. Girl loved her boy bestfriend who didnt realise he liked her until she started flirting with someone else. And yet in cooperation with the serial killer trope , the idea that the female main lead has unusual strength. The fact that the Ceo hired her as a bodyguard in the company she wanted to work. The fact that villans kept coming, danger akways knocking on one of the character's door.
The show feels more like a comic than a drama and takes multiple genres to the extreme.. I would like to warn eceryone to not anything seriously and enjoy the plot and the carziness. the characters [ *cough Park Hyung Sik as Ahn Min Hyuk cough*] have very overdramatic reactions{ I personally find the cute}.
It's such a super hero romcom story and I am totally down for it.
The plot progressed beautifully. The characters developped. The twisted story and the riddles came to a solution at the best paste possible. We got to see how the emotions of Do Bong Soon change. We saw how she went from liking one guy to the other. we got to see her story, her pain, her tears and finally her love.
Its an incredible series and i totally recommend
The only part that isn't incredible are the special effects. The effects used to present the unusal strength of Do Bong Soon are really unrealistic and fake. It didn't bother that much but i acn see why it would bother someone. Especially since we are all used to high quality cgi.

Exciting To No End
Personally, I was very skeptical before starting it.There is absolytely no reason to be skeptical. I was bewatched from the first episode. The actors, the music and the special effects work together like amagic.
The plot / Story 10/10
The plot was incredible and very well thought. At the end there were no questions left unanswered. Moreover it progressed beautifully. Not too fast not too slow.
What I really liked was that there wasn't any rommance. While I genarally enjoy a good rommance series I liked how we had time to watch the personality of So Moon develop. We watched him go from a boy with a lot of questions and uncertainty to an determined adult who knew what he wanted. Also watching him learn how to use his powers and find new ways to protect his friends and family really made my day.
The special effects were beautiful. All the colours really held my attention and personally speaking they were pretty good.
Acting/Cast 9/10
The acting was good too. I think that the actors gave away the personalities of their characters greatly. Also loved the developement in So Moon's personality and the change of heart in Shin Hyuk Woo'w [Mayor's son.
Music 8/10
It was there and i helped crucial moments and it created stress but it just didnt stand out to me that much. I think it was the weakest part of the whole series.
Rewatch value 10/10
Frankly speaking I already have watched it 2 times and would go for a 3d. I think that its good and eventhough I am aware what happens I don't get bored.
Overall 9/10
I highly recommend it . It cooparates action, fantasy and mystery nicely and its really enjoyable.
