  1. I wanted to wait for the reviews before going watching this. No kisses at all through all episodes? Well no thanks! I guess I’ll skip this and rewatch Healer.

  2. Not letting you see the last kiss was the perfect ending. After all the pushback and punishment they got for that first kiss, everyone deserves to not be allowed to see the last one. It was based on webtoon with over the top fighting among other things. That is the nature of fantasy. So why couldn’t an out of blue first kiss happen on first episode. I thought it unexpected an refreshing different. But yet they got crap for it. So the ending was a good payback.
