Good for a Medical Drama!

I loved it! It wasn't something that I had on my watch list initially...but I wanted to try something different and I was also interested in seeing how Kim Bum acts. I've only seen him in Boys Over Flowers. Needlessly to say, I loved him in this.

I am also a fan of medical dramas, I binged Greys Anatomy as well as House so I was curious to see how this would measure up. I'm glad to say that it did not disappoint. I also like a bit of fantasy so it was great for that as well.

At first I was wondering why this drama was so long...I am sure it could've wrapped up everything in 12 episodes, but now that I've finished it, I love how they tied everything off so nicely. I also love the character's growth and progression. I also LOVE that the ending didn't feel rushed (like so many dramas do).

It's a must-watch for sure! Makes you think about the value of life and how you never know when it's your time to go. So therefore you should do what makes you happy.

Loved it!

Truly loved the romance in this drama! Some bits might have been a bit drawn out and overdone but the true mark of a good drama to me is that you miss the characters when it's all over. I haven't been able to find another Chinese rom-com that is as good. I tried several others. I am also a sucker for inter-species, sci-fi rom-com. This drama also tugged on your heartstrings. It was an absolute delight to watch each and every episode. Their kisses were on fire. You could feel the sexual tension a mile away. I also love that the FL seemed unapologetically her, with her own unique style (that wasn't sexy IMO) but seemed to suit her character very well.

What a Gem!

I'm so glad I watched this! I haven't laughed so hard since watching Mr. Queen. This rom-com is truly a rom-com, it's packed full of romance and lots of comedy...a great balance. The male lead stole the whole show. He is a brilliant actor! I loved him in Reply 1988 and he shines brightly in this one. He made the show so enjoyable with his antics. A must-see especially for his acting.

The OST is great as well! The acting was beautiful. While there was a love triangle, I felt nothing for the second leads at all especially when they got their hearts broken.

I got a bit annoyed at the last couple of episodes...it was drawn out and didn't make much sense. The FL ran away when the ML got into an accident saying that she needed to stay away cause she's bad luck and blah blah...but still took her sister? That negates the whole premise of her beliefs from the start of the show. I know they had to find some way for the main couple to break up and get back together but to me, this was done very poorly.

The ML and FL BFFs! I love them so much!!!!! They added so much personality to the drama. I know some people thought they might be overacting but I loved every minute of those two!

It's a great watch even with the badly written episodes at the end.

Finishing this is a struggle!

Have to finish this drama! Nearly there! But it's such a struggle. Man! They said the writers were changed after episode 12 I think...but the drama was going down hill from a few episodes before that!

This is SUCH a drag! Why drag this out over so many episodes? I'm beyond caring at this point but I need to finish because I just need to complete it.

Why change the main antagonist so many times? The first one was it and so ideal. They could've developed on his story. Like one other reviewer said, I felt like his was more intriguing actually and I was rooting for him. I even forgot his was supposedly evil.

I'm not sure what else to say. I wish there was more demon-hunting and fighting. There was so much going on that the show's premise was an afterthought.

Then they bring in some other dude in the 15th episode to what? Sigh....I'm so annoyed and over it at this point. All of the counters had a backstory that was so poorly executed in showing this to the audience.

Umm...watch it for yourself. I was interested in this because I like the whole gang of superheroes defeating evil storyline. I also like a good underdog plot...but this, this misses the mark completely.

SIGH....This is laughable

This drama started out so strong to me. I'm like: Geez, how is the villain so savage? Then enters the main leads and everything started to go downhill.

I've read a bunch of reviews and I agree with most of them. I absolutely love rom-coms and I love them, even more, when there is a fantasy element. But how can you NOT nail any of these? I've watched a bunch of time-travel romances before and none of them has been this bad? Do they even have any chemistry?

Why don't they give us proper timelines? Sigh...I also don't think that would've helped to show how these two fell in love. Sigh...where is it? It's going to take me so long to finish cause I press the pause button as soon as the 'love' starts. Why is the FL crying so much? I'm so lost!!!!!! I don't get it!!! Can someone help me?

Maybe I'm just salty..but the story is just bad. The acting is too much from the leads. The music is good though!

EDIT
Okay, so I dropped the drama for a while and just started it again because I need to finish it no matter how bad it is. Man this is still a struggle for me to finish. What a huge ad campaign! Advertising really starting to grate on me now.
