Entertaining watch with great FML and a touch of mythology

+ FML: I felt like her charecter was fleshed out. I understood her actions and generally felt like she was making realistic decisions. She was just a good person and didn't unnecessarily complicate the plot which I appreciate.
+comedy and character dynamics: Generally entertaining although it could be a bit over the top for some.
+side characters: Had their own stories and were generally fun.

-MML: It was hard for me get captivated by his character, epsecially at beginning. He is an emotionless gumiho, so his facial expressions and his tone is super dull for most of the show. Even when he stops acting in such stiff way, he mostly showcases somewhat jealous or possesive behaviour. I do not think it was super bad, it was honestly minor stuff and I still enjoyed the show, but it was just harder to love his character in comparison to FML.
-repetitiveness: The plot was in general nicely flowing but I do think they focused for too long on some stuff (red thread and destiny stuff as well as overusing phrases Hyesun does not know). It was slightly dragging the plot but it could be just because I did not personally enjoy them.

Overall, I don't think it was groundbreaking but it was a plesant watch. I liked how they incoporated mythology without focusing too much on it, it was quiet fast-paced and the characters were lovable. It's mostly focused on romance so if you're interested in that, I would check it out.
