Okay wow.. that was a roller coaster. I don't think I've binged a drama this fast in a while. Firstly, the main leads have absolutely gorgeous pearly white teeth and I loved seeing them smile.. if you know you know. Also, I would've rated this a 10 if the plot wasn't so random at times because the main leads chemistry was absolutely PERFECT, with the second lead couple on par- I could watch a whole separate show for them. You rarely come across K-actor couples with such good chemistry and don't get me started on the steamy scenes! I loved how Dam was introduced, I was so blown away by the fact that one of the two girls dragging the drunk guy home was literally the main character, it was kinda refreshing. Adding on to that, the way the drama portrays male-female friendships feels so realistic because so many dramas push the "men and women can't be friends" agenda which is absolutely not true and although they do often catch feelings for each other, it isn't always the case and it feels more like a conservative idea. My other issue with the show was Seonwoo (which I'll get to later), and the fact that the crush Sookyung had was on Jaejin even though a romance between her and the senior was heavily implied throughout. Although funny, it felt a little underwhelming and the cliché scene with them in the last 3 minutes infuriated me thinking about what we could've had all these episodes, they absolutely would've been a great ship. Also, I know Kdramas tend to make the female lead depend on the male lead so much to the point she entirely forgets about her friends, but it felt so out-of-character to drop everything for this man who's only dream was to become human, but I did like how she was very self-aware and kept herself and Wooyeo in check as well. Honestly, he's quite the catch and not just for that absolutely ridiculously huge mansion. I wish that she was a bit more career-oriented because she's already so badass and she kept talking about raising her GPA (which wasn't even low) and about how she loved history so much, but that storyline was completely forgotten I guess. The ending didn't feel rushed but there were just a lot of things that I wish they incorporated. Not only that, I wish we could've gotten a scene where Dam also could've told her family about how he was a gumiho just to get that out of the way if it comes up again in the future and possibly even a wedding scene which would honestly just be fanservice considering that VERY happy ending (one of my top Kdrama endings for sure). I want more lore with the mountain spirit, and more about their lives in the past centuries and that random evil spirit that showed up. And then Seonwoo.. don't even get me started. I despised him initially because the man was playing victim even though he was an asshole and never really acknowledged that what he did was wrong and only felt bad because Dam was upset with him. He didn't even feel like a second lead because all those moments were forced with that dumb red string of fate plotline. The moments with him were so hard to watch, and I was able to tolerate it at the end because he was changing plus his older brother moments were very cute, but it was so unnecessary to make him a love interest noting how Dam was uncomfortable with him pracitcally the entire time. Overall, it's a pretty lighthearted show with a few very angsty episodes but it's such a fun watch I'll miss it greatly, especially the dry humour. The sarcastic comments Wooyeo makes are GOLD and his relationship with Hyesun was honestly my favourite part of the show. Gosh, I didn't think I'd write this much but it does show how passionate I was about it and I want to write out my feelings before I forget!
