A new favorite and a MUST WATCH for fantasy lovers!
Wow. All I can say is wow. I just finished this series after starting the final episode and then deciding I needed a full night's sleep so I'd have the energy to finish this series.
There's so much I want to say about this series. The acting, the production, the story, the characters, EVERYTHING. Everything was so high quality I loved it so so much. If you are like me and you love a good fantasy drama, this one should definitely be on your list.
It is a wonderful story and I think it is really great. It had just the right amount of drama, not too much, but just enough where you're probably in tears during the last two episodes like me. Hye Sun and Jae Jin's relationship was so sweet, I'm really glad they kept that through to the end and gave them a happy relationship. Dan and Seon Woo's little sister was a cute thing to start as well, and Soo Kyeong and Seok finally realizing their feelings, just so much love in the air! I almost wish we got a tad bit more for these new couples but all in all I think a happy ending is implied for those.
I almost wish the story didn't make Seon Woo so likeable, because part of me was really sad that he was alone in the end, I wish he could've at least got someone and not wound up alone, I really enjoyed the development of his character so much, yet he didn't get a happy ending :( All the side characters really added something special to this story.
Now... the main event.. Dam and Woo Yeo. WOW. Their on screen chemistry is truly magical. I enjoyed every second of their relationship throughout the entire show. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt towards Woo Yeo, as he was a character with which I had never seen before, but after finishing the series, I really love him. He was written differently from any other main character I had seen, and thats probably because he is 999 years old. I love that over the course of the story, he goes from being indifferent in his life, to learning how to become human, how to feel emotions, and learned love, sacrifice, and found his meaning in life and his will to live. Dam helped him discover that, and their relationship blossomed because of it. It was just such a good story, I loved every second of it.
Also shout out to the mountain spirit who I hated at first because of the whole red thread thing, but he actually ended up helping Woo Yeo. Making him think he was going to disappear helped him treasure his time with Dam, and use the last of his magic to save her, was genius. All in all, everyone got their happy ending. I thought it was cute that Hye Sun used her Bead wish to keep Jae Jin with her. My only question that remains, is Woo Yeo not granted a wish because his bead was cracking, and he used the wish to come back and be with Dam? Either way, I was very pleased with the ending, and this story. I will definitely be rewatching this one.
If you're on the fence whether to start this or not, watch it!! It truly is a story that will make you smile, cringe in embarrassment, and cry all in a few episodes.
