It was out of pure stubbornness (and stupidity) that I finished this drama and I highly recommend viewers spend their time more wisely on other dramas out there.
This was a very boring and hard to maintain interest in drama.
I usually love both Shin Se Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk's acting, but their chemistry was missing throughout this drama, Ha Baek is very forced and awkward in character, and Soo Ah seems to have all the luck, even if she's deemed unlucky. Half the time you couldn't tell what would happen next with them because of the lack of continuity and growth. They jump a lot of steps in the relationship, and their god/servant status truly made it hard for me to accept Ha Baek's love for her. One minute he's happy to do anything for her, the next he's back to patriarchal ruling and "woman"/derogatory sentences that made me question how Soo Ah could be so mindless and love him.
I had more interest in the other main characters, though even they had very dry and unnecessary moments that made this drama hard to continue. Moo Ra's constant emotional mood swing changes were enough to give anyone a headache, you would want to like her, then not. Bi Ryum jumps around from playful, to scorned in 2.5 seconds, and whilst half the time it actually compliments his nature, the constant snippets to his past and how wicked he could be took away from building him more consistently. Some of the lesser deities were interesting, but fell through the cracks too easily to maintain their storyline. Other people were just so unneeded and wasted precious time that could have been given to progress the storyline with more interest and emotion.
The only character I found worthy was Shin Hoo Ye, and had hoped they would give him more than the drama managed to deliver on his part in the story. They left him very 2 dimensional at times, as a troubled soul, yet lost valuable time to build on his demeanour and just left him either angry or miserable.
Often the delivery of this drama felt rushed and out of sync, or slow and meaningless. Ha Baek's constant lack of powers grows tiresome, especially when they build it up that he can use them for Soo Ah at times... even this gets forgotten about and it becomes a battle over who should have the human, who should do as they are told, and who is acting blind to love.
I can't really say more than this without giving away major plot details that truly irritated me and bored me completely, but I advise to skip out on this one, even though Gong Myung was highly attractive throughout.
4.5/10.
