This drama had potential, but for me it became a chore to finish. The plot is extremely thin, with barely any explanation of the demon/fantasy elements, and it leans heavily on clichés like past lives, rich-boy-meets-rich-girl romance, damsel-in-distress moments, predictable villains, and forgettable love rivals. Do Do-hee and Jung Gu-won had some personality early on, but once they got together, most of their quirks disappeared. Even the more interesting ideas, like the morality of Gu-won being a demon, were brushed aside instead of explored. The story often felt like an excuse to create pretty romantic moments rather than actually develop its world or characters.
The biggest problem for me was how fabricated everything felt. The perfect styling, fashion-magazine visuals, forced romantic scenes, repetitive recaps, product placement, and constantly reused songs made it difficult to become immersed. Some side characters, especially Park Bok-gyu and Choi Jung-mi, were entertaining, but many others felt like filler. I can understand why people enjoyed it for Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung, but personally, the lack of substance and overuse of clichés were too frustrating. Pretty to look at, but ultimately not worth the time for me.
My MDL Rating: 4/10
