My personal thoughts- by Jass K.

Wow! Imma have to say, I understand the ratings.

I am currently writing the first half review of the drama but you mostly likely won’t like what I have to say. The drama surprised me the most in 2021 and not in a good way. I would say that if the lead actors had been unknown, this drama wouldn’t have found anywhere near the same level of interest or the same level of people defending it from any valid criticism that comes its way.

I’d say the actors are really doing the best they can with the script they have which must be a challenge on multiple levels.

  1. “Who causes everything he touches to vanish” needs correction. He’s basically a human-like form of judgement/punishment, but nothing “vanishes” (except himself a couple times, but that’s not from him touching himself lol); nothing notable even happens with his touch unless he decides for it to, which is more rare than one would think considering his job. He actually makes plenty of physical contact with people in the drama without any effect. I enjoyed it, though not some of the redundant plot devices (like breakups and memory loss). I wasn’t a fan of American bashing, though I figured this was more for humor than actual insults. The emotional scenes were great. The second lead love triangle I loved at first, until I realized these 3 adults had been obsessed for 9 years over a high school crush, and a limp forced kiss with a stranger. It lost it’s charm. But the acting was pretty good, the songs were even better, the filming quality was great.

  2. I’m on my 10th episode and I find myself struggling to finish this kdrama. It’s dragging. The story flow doesn’t give justice to the lead actors. The writer sucks! They should’ve made this into a 10 or 12-episode kdrama instead of 16 if they don’t know how to hold their audience’s interest. Such a pity coz I like both Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young.
