It's another sensation of the season, isn't it?
To be honest, this drama is straight up one word. Cliché.
Yes, the storyline's cliché, but it's pretty much the superpowers, fluff and the wholehearted love that made this drama so amazing. Oh yes, not forgetting importance of the cast too.
Actually it's pretty much like Twilight.. Now, before you start criticizing me, I love Twilight. However, personally, I don't watch twilight for Robert Pattinson. Instead, I watch for the romance with a supernatural creature and its unique powers. I'm look most towards to his superpower show-off. Well in this drama's case.. It's impressing.. but not enough. I felt that his powers are amazing, but it's not fufilling enough. Not enough fluff, know what I mean? I'm sure everyone would love it much more if he uses his powers more for fun and laughter, then serious stuff.
Whoever that casted the actors and actresses, GREAT JOB! Song Yi's pretty and cute. Her brother, so freakin hwatt, not so much at the end though. Semi... I'm sorry, I couldn't hate her (I'm a little YG bias), she's so sweet. Okay, the main deal, Kim So Hyun. From the start, I know he's hot and charming, but not to point of crazy love. The first episode... The most mind blowing and most memorable cut of all... His first actual sentence in the elevator with SongYi "Do I have to know?" My ovaries exploded. You have no idea until you watch it.
And oh yeah, have anyone realized how every Kdrama would include one super rich cheabol and one psychotic man? It made me think Korea's full of them.
To sum up, it's pretty alright. If you just exclude the fact of how love seems to be so easy in dramas, it's worth watching. You can say it's an eye candy. How beautiful the house is, how beautiful the cast is, your sweet tooth craving will be fulfilled. Dramas won't be famous for no reason!
