Cool Vibe with Boring Tropes

I have been sitting on this review for ages! While I liked the premise, the show only kept my attention because I didn't want it to be my first DNF in Kdrama land.

❤ Lee Dam annoyed me to no end. I can't tell if it was the way the actress portrayed her or the character herself that turned me off. I couldn't understand why this ancient being would be fascinated with a college girl. It certainly gave off some Goblin-esque vibes (another romance I didn't particularly love).

❤ The best part of this series is the frenemies relationship between Shin Woo Yeo and Yang Hye Sun. The two actors had chemistry and energy whether they were verbally sparring or staring coolly at each other. I'm glad their relationship never veered toward romance, but their interactions certainly showed the lack of chemistry between Woo Yeo and Lee Dam.

❤ SAVE ME FROM UNNECEESARY LOVE TRAINGLES! Why was Sun Woo even an option for Lee Dam? It's obvious from the very beginning he means nothing to her. Watching him constantly being thrust between her and Woo Yeo just slowed down the main lead's romance.

❤ The vibe and atmosphere was beautiful, particularly some of the set pieces. I wish the story had entranced me as much as the way it was shot.
