Later half was slow

I remember watching the beginning of this drama and being really invested, the story was great and the twists and turns made you want to see more. However by the time it reached the middle it slowed down and watching this series became tedious. I was able to hold on until the 14th episode and then stopped caring about it and just wanted to know the ending. So I searched up the plot of episode 15 and watched episode 16 while skipping the unimportant parts so I can finally know the ending. It wasn't enjoyable or satisfying to watch the ending, I just wanted the plot ending points. I was curious about the ending and didn't care about the usual emotions that endings provoked from me; didn't care about the fond nostalgia and satisfaction that a good ending should have. Most shows (no matter what their reviews have been) has been able to evoke those feelings in me, but not this one. Do what you will with that info. I say watch half the show, to immerse and get the feelings and then just search up the plot for the rest of the half.

Give it a try and simply watch it unfold.

Actually there are a lot of reviews that say that they couldn't connect to the main character as little is known and shown about him throughout the movie. Moreover, there is also the complaint of how there was no plot, no big plot twist/ big reveal and therefore no anticipation or guessing involved in the trials. It moved along predictably, according to many. It seems that the main character lived a bland life without taking too many risks and in every trial he was left off as it would be proven that he had actually done a good deed, not a bad one as it seemed. It's practically impossible for anyone to live so virtuously, but then again that is why he is referred to as a pure spirit that comes along only very rarely. However, it is still worth it to watch the movie if you don't keep thinking and expecting the mystery and action, but instead simply watch the story unfold. The characters did not feel real to me until the end, but the story was really beautiful and connected well. It evoked plenty of emotions in me at the end, and watching the movie till the end felt worth it (though watching even the bland parts wasn't a chore, it flowed peacefully). The movie reminds you to live a simple life taking care of your loved ones.
