Tale of the Nine-Tailed (2020)

Generic fantasy combined with generic romance

When I started this drama, I didn't have great expectations, I just hoped for a good love story, unfortunately I didn't get even that, although this show has its good moments. Honestly it was difficult to rate it because it's not terrible but it's also quite forgettable.

The first few episodes were my favorites. I liked to see more about Korean mithology, however the drama doesn't dive too deep into the lore and uses fantasy more as a set up. The plot is quite far-fatched and honestly straight up dumb at some points. Characters were either holding information out or simply choosing to do things the hard way. The problem when you have such powerful beings as characters in your story is that you need the conflict to be a match to their powers and very high stakes, otherwise it would be too easy for them to solve it. This is one of the biggest problems of this show to me. You have gumihos and literal gods, but sometimes it's like the writers conveniently forget about how almighty these beings are in order to not end much of the conflict in this story in lass than a minute. I myself thought of at least two ways where they could've ended the Imoogi in a much easier way, but we need some drama in the last episodes, I guess.

The characters are pretty interesting. They are the driving force of this drama, even when they mess up the plot the characters are what keeps you entertained. Rang was definitely the character with my favorite arc (although the ending given to him was atrocious and downright lazy writing) in this whole thing, even when I was bored out of my mind with the main couple, his relationship with Yeon was what made me watch this until the end.

Talking about the main couple, oh boy what a disappointment. This was a set up to what should be an epic and heart-wrenching love story, but the execution was just piss poor. It's not the actors fault, since the acting here is overall pretty good. I think the writers just relied too much on the fact that Yeon has waited for Ji Ah for 600 years and that they are star-crossed lovers that they didn't even bother developing the relationship between the two leads in the present. I never skip scenes in dramas, but since I was close to finishing it I skipped almost all of the main couple interactions in the last 4 episodes just to see what would happen to all the other characters. All of that "I will sacrifice myself for you!" back and forth between the leads was extremely tedious, as well. To be fair I agreed completely with the Samdocheon guardian lady, they should've just killed Ji Ah or at least acted a bit faster on their plan, cause some good thousands of innocents died since they just sat with their heads up their asses instead of putting an end to the Imoogi as soon as possible.

The ending was also just a big ???????????? I always thought people were supposed to reincarnate as a baby and then grow up, living all the stages of their life, but apparently not? They were just reincarnating people as straight up adults and children right and left for the sake of forcing a happy ending. Not to mention how the writers just gave up at the very last scene and simply wrote whatever the hell came to their heads.

To sum it up, this drama has its ups and downs, It had potential and some scenes, specially certain ones between Rang and Yeon (in my opinion) were quite emotional. The cast tries their best, and while you can have some enjoyment out of it, Tale of the Nine-Tailed doesn't pull through and just fades into a limbo along with many other generic fantasy dramas.

Aspired to be Goblin, Missed by a Mile

No doubt most of us were reeled in by Lee Dong Wook's stellar performance in Goblin. The man can act but this drama is proof that it takes so much more to recreate the magic of Goblin.

Lee Rang is easily the best part of this drama. I loved how they set him to be this ruthless villain early on only to peel back layers to reveal a sweet, scared, mistreated kid. He worshipped his half brother but turned dark when he thought Yeon abandoned him too. Kim Bum Soo was perfected casted for his innocent looks but strong acting skills. Seriously, i went from loathing his evil smirk in episode 2 to aww-ing at his adorable smile and childlike "hyung!" in episode 16. His character as the attention seeking younger brother was beautifully explored through scenes with Dong Wook's Yeon, which shed light beyond his Mr Romantic side - the aloof older brother who really adored Rang too.

Which is why I absolutely despise Rang's ending.

Dong Wook's acting as Yeon was good but that was to be expected. Yeon is entirely different from Goblin's Grim Reaper. True to his foxy nature, he's not smart, he's CUNNING. This was showed many, many times in the drama when he used his brains beond just brawns to save Nam Ji Ah. But what really stuck with me were the nuanced touches Dong Wook added to Yeon's interactions with Ji Ah. He remained snarky and sarcastic, but very considerate and attentive in small, subtle ways. Pushing the branch out out of Jiah's way, soft hair carresses. Very tender, not because she is fragile - she is too precious to him.

Her happiness list, he promised to do them all and indeed he did (sneakers, cooked rice, a wedding dress) and even though of Plan B in case he didn't make it. It so all was so endearing.

I have 3 big issues with this drama - Ji AH, Imoogi and Chemistry.
The plot is not coherant, especially in the middle around ep 7 to 14. This is where they jumbled up Ji Ah's and Imoogi's characters.

Ji Ah whom I adored early on for being perceptive, alert and semi-cunning at sussing people, succumbed to being a quintessential K-drama damsel in disstress the second Yeon became the knight in shining armour mid way.

And Imoogi, didn't have a strong character motivation. Did he want to reign chaos or did he want the girl? And what's that line about wanting Ji Ah because he wanted to be loved, trying to make him sympathetic like Rang? But then wait, 2 Imoogi's with different wants?? I'm throwing up my hands.

Yeon made a remark to Imoogi, something like the gods make creatures like him that don't receive love (a Ying Yang balance thing I asssume). If done right, it could have made Imoogi a complex, fascinating villain. Especially since they casted the boyishly handsome Lee Tae Ri who did not inspire much terror. Sad.

As others have mentioned, Chemistry was off for our main leads. Dong Wook did his best but sparks just weren't flying with Jo Bo Ah. Heck, even our secondary ML and FL had more chemistry, but nothing can top our half brothers.

I hope the Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 (2022) is better. But after this disappointment - I'm moving on.

An average fantasy story with a questionable ending.

So apparently the grim reaper got tired and is now a nine-tailed fox. Jokes aside, I actually kinda enjoyed this drama, it's not the best out there, even in the genre, but it's pretty fun to watch, even if the ending was... questionable to say the least. Some people loved it and some people hated it, and I think that was the biggest dividing point when it comes to this drama. I honestly didn't hate the ending but i would've done differently for sure, and I'm not gonna say anything else so I don't spoil it for you.

We follow the story of Lee Yeon, a nine-tailed fox that is waiting for he's first love who died tragically many centuries ago. Lee Yeon is a cool guy almost touching the antihero side, but not really doing it. He meets Ji-Ah e very clever girl who's the incarnation of his long lost love. Then of course we have the villain, an Imoogi who wants to be a God. And that's basically it for the main plot, we also have some side stories that I personally found way more interesting than the main plot line, principally the strain relationship between Lee Yeon and he's brother Lee Rang. The second lead couple was also very entertaining to watch. Overhaul the main plot was a love story that was told many times before and didn't really added anything new to the table.

I think the weakest part about this drama was the main story line, the main couple's chemistry was average, it was there but I always felt like something was missing, and the actor choice for the Imoogi was odd, nothing against the actor, but I just felt like he looked way too young and had to little of onscreen presence to back up all the cheesy dialogue. I think if they went for a older actor and less cheesy lines they could have saved the Imoogi. Also Ji-Ah for me was a waste of a character, I really liked her in the first couple of episodes, she was independent, clever and strong willed, but the moment she met Lee Yeon and realized who she was, the writer seemed to forget about all those qualities, and Ji-Ah went from strong female character to damsel in distress just like that, I don't know how can someone need to get rescued so many times. Why do drama writers always do this to strong female leads?

Lee Rang's relationship with his brother, in the other hand, was the best part about this drama, their strained relationship that slowly was being fixed, and the overhaul character growth was really well done. Honestly they could have skip the romance stuff and focus on this relationship and the drama would have been much better. It was a bless to see Lee Yeon and Lee Rang's interactions. Yoo-Ri and Shin-Joo were a very cute and slow-burn couple, that episode after episode grew on me, and the more you saw them together the better they looked. This drama's strong point and what makes it actually more interesting to watch, were all this well done subplots and characters, if it wasn't for them I would have stop watching the drama a long time ago.

Another strong point of this drama it's its pacing, some people might complain that it's too fast, but for me it was fast enough that I wouldn't get bored halfway and slow enough that i understood what was going on. Honestly I don't remember being bored watching this drama, although in the later episodes they slowed down the pace to fill it with some filler cute couple moments, but I didn't really mind it that much.

I will not talk about the ending, although I have a lot to say, I want this review to be as spoilers free as it can be.

Acting/Cast: The acting on this drama was kinda of average, I mean we all know that Lee Dong-Wook can act and I really liked his character, although he went through so much pain he was still fun, and I really liked when he acted all badass and stuff. In the other hand, Jo Bo-Ah wasn't bad, I think the script is the one we should really blame as the actress could do much with it, because by the middle of the drama, Ji-Ah would be crying almost all the time, I was always: "c'mon girl get your s*** together." Lee Tae-Ri was cast as the Imoogi, I don't think he was bad, it's just, between the cheesy script and his gorgeous young face, he didn't really convinced me that the Imoogi was that big of a threat, I kinda get why they chose him, but it still left something to be desired. Kim Yong-Ji was great, I really liked her character as well as Hwang Hee character, I think they did a great job supporting our main characters, but there own little story arc was also fun to watch, they were almost like a comic-relief in a way. And of course I leave for last, the best of this drama, Kim Bum, he stole the show for the moment he appeared on screen, and has much as I hated him in the beginning he started growing on me as the story progressed, Lee Rang is the definition of anti-hero, and I just love to watch him, Kim Bum just brought the character to life.

Now let's talk about cinematography. This drama, was average looking to be honest, it didn't do anything outstanding, and the visual effects left a lot to be desired. In my personal opinion, in so moments the effects were overdone and didn't look that great, I think if they went on a more "Hotel del Luna" vibe, with more subtle effects it would look so much better. Also, for such an high budget production they could have get Lee Dong-Wook some better hair extensions.

One of the things I really liked about this drama was the OST, I really liked the songs, and some of them became part of my playlist, I think they really fitted the vibe of the drama and worked well with the story and cinematography.

Will I watch this drama again? Probably not, although I enjoyed this drama even with all its flaws, I don't see myself revisiting it anytime soon. Do I recommend it? Yes, if you're look for something easy to watch and that you don't need to put much thought into, it's flawed and could have been done differently but I think that overhaul this drama it's still fun to watch.

Somthing is missing

I like story line.. but i dont think plot gone smoothly becoz i fell lot of missing parts.. in the first few episodes it is realky exiting but when come to the last few episodes i fell whole drama is dropping somehow i dont know why i feel like that.. but i am thnkfull tht rang is reborn otherwise my heart will hurt long time.. This drama has one thing that i want from every drama. That is in the end they show what will hapend to every single character. I teally love that kind of end ❤️❤️

As for acting they did thire job very well.but i fell somthing missing from yeon.. lee dong wook is good actor but somhow i fell somtimes in the drama he lost( not everytime just some scenes) it is somthing like i feel from lee min ho in LOTBS..
As for rang he did very good job and i love him. He manage to catch our heart than main lead. I even feel angry at him for sacrifice his life for yeon.. and i did not even cry when yeon die but i cried when rang sacrifice his life.
As for villans in dramas i dont think they are success.. becoz when villan apear we should fell tens but when lee tae ri come i did not feel tht.. he is good actor i think writer write his character like that. If he make calmly villan he should choos guy who has tought look... ( i dont tell tae ri bad actor somehow he is not suitable for this) and yes immogi in ji ah s body also fail. I think jo bo ha only success doing character ji ah not imoogi. She faild acting as imoogi..
And whole other actors did good job

Overall good itz ok to watch thire r lot things i did not feel ok but i must say i enjoy it somehow.. and it is not boring type drama.. i did not rreduced so much stars.. so i think you can watch it.. and i think lot of you put this drma to 2nd lead syndrome list ?

Not bad, but not that great either

I started Tale of the Nine-Tailed thinking I'd like it a lot because from what I'd seen, it looked like a mashup of Goblin and Legend of the Blue Sea, which are two of my favorite dramas. Sadly, TotNT is just a kinda average drama with some frustrating plot holes, and suffers from the "tell, not show" syndrome. The drama told us too much and didn't show us enough.

The Good:
1) Kim Bum as Lee Rang. I loved this bad boy. He was honestly the best character. He had his priorities straight. Too bad he died to save his love-struck and love-blinded brother. He deserved better.

2) Yu Ri and Shin Ju. They were the cutest couple. Way better than the main couple.

3) Lee Rang and Lee Yeon. The relationship between the brothers was more dynamic and interesting than the main couple's relationship.


The Average:
1) The music is ok. I don't plan on buying any of the OSTs, but there wasn't anything I particularly disliked about it.


The Bad:
1) The "tragic fate" between the two lovers Yeon and Ji Ah was cliche and not executed very well. The modern romance happened too fast, and their past lives backstory was told through too much exposition. Did we see why Ah Eum was taken out of the palace or why she wanted to kill her father? Nope, they only told us. How much of Yeon's and Ah Eum's romance did we really see? Maybe five minutes? Not enough to really care about it.

2) The missing parents story was wrapped up too quickly, and they adjusted to being missing for 20 years far too easily. They were pretty much caricatures, given so little actual development that I hardly believed that they were her real parents and not more fakes.

3) So many innocent people died while Yeon tried to figure out a way to save Ji Ah, that I was disgusted that they seemed only to care about saving her. In the words of Gatekeeper Granny, "How many lives do you think that thing will take away in three days? Who says their lives are less important than the one you're trying to save?" Near the end, I wished Ji Ah would just do the right thing and sacrifice herself, because then I might actually have some sympathy for the main couple.

4) Imugi would've been a much more interesting villain if we'd been shown more about his origins. Show that disfigured child in the pit of death, show his emergence as the white snake. Show his fury at being denied the position of mountain god when Yeon first took over. But instead, we were just told about it.

5) I hated that Lee Yeon's love for his brother was not as strong as Rang's love for him. Yeon only seemed to swoop in to save Rang when it would result in benefitting Ji Ah, or when he absolutely had to: such as when Rang was about to die because of his fox contract. But when Rang was once again on the brink of death after getting stabbed, Yeon didn't even try to save him. Why? He was too busy having a seaside date with Ji Ah and pretending to be a "normal" couple. It seemed like Yeon's love for Rang was inconsistent. On the other hand, Rang loved his brother without any ulterior motive. He just wanted his brother to live.

6) The ending was trite and didn't make sense within the story logic that had been established during the drama. Lee Yeon reincarnates as a grown adult? Lee Rang's reincarnation is a 10-year-old child who had to have been alive before Rang died? They seriously forced that happy ending.

This is a great fantasy thriller drama with a nice romantic storyline. The action scenes are fantastic and, for the most part, acting was done well. There could have been better chemistry between the leading couple but, overall, it was not too bad. The brothers Lee Yeon and Lee Rang’s story and interactions were the best part of this drama. Both actors did great bringing their characters to life. The supporting cast provided lots of funny moments to smooth the thriller moments in the drama and their storylines were interesting and engaging. The most baffled moment is Lee Rang’s unnecessary demise. In an effort to create a dramatic flair, the writer failed to take into consideration that Lee Yeon valued his brother’s life more than his own. It’s paradoxical to have to sacrifice a life for a life that has done the ultimate sacrifice to save his beloved. Although this drama brings about the theme of self sacrifice for a loved one, it is also a tale of obsession. It is disappointing that once one of the main characters reaches great character development and finds the true value of family, his life is seeing as less important and okay to be sacrificed to satisfy an underworld god’s greed and Nam Ji-A’s obsession. Now, the ending might seem confusing to some, but it is a very welcomed twist to the finale. The drama is entertaining, enjoy it!

Une déception imprévisible

Je ne sais pas. Si le drama est mauvais. Ou si "Joy of Life" a influencé mes sentiments
(inexistants) durant le visionnage du drama.
Je l'attendais. Depuis le trailer qui m'avait donné l'eau à la bouche. Je trépignais d'impatience comme une enfant devant ses cadeaux de Noël. Nous nous étions promis de le regarder sans les enfants et d'une traite. Et puis. Rien. Pas un sourire. Pas une larme. Voire même un soupçon d'intérêt. 16 épisodes que nous avons fini en 2 semaines (au lieu de 2 jours comme nous l'avions prévu...).
Alors, oui, nous venions de finir "Joy of Life". Oui, nous avions découvert la perfection, l'ultime (mais cela est une autre histoire, écrit dans un autre avis) mais cela devait-il tout expliquer?
L'ennui devant la romance (trop de romance finit par tuer la romance) : les personnages principaux qui se cherchent un peu, se niaisent un peu, finissent par s'aimer, et puis, j'avoue, le passage que je trouve pénible, surtout si cela doit durer sur plusieurs
épisodes : les pleurs, les flashbacks à rallonge et inutile...bref, lorsqu'il y a trop de romance, trop de je t'aime moi non plus, de "ne me quitte pas" sur 20 minutes à chaque épisode, je fini par bâiller.
L'ennui devant les relations que cela soit les personnages principaux ou secondaires ; Zéro alchimie en ce qui me concerne. J'ai eu un début d'intérêt face aux 2 frères et puis au final, non. Trop classique, trop prévisible. Pas assez fort émotionnellement. Aucun des personnages secondaires n'étaient intéressants à mon sens.
Je n'ai pas réussi à accrocher ne serait-ce qu'un peu aux divers tourments des personnages : amoureux. Familial. Amical. Rien.
Et enfin, les vilains. Rien de transcendants. Rien d'effrayants. Moi qui adore la légende de Gumiho, qui aime avoir peur (du moins un peu), qui aime le suspense, j'ai été très déçue...
Le drama n'est pas mauvais en soi. Du moins je le crois. Le jeu des acteurs non plus. Mais, rien n'a été assez fort pour me tenir éveillé.
J'avais adoré "Gu Family Book" et "Korean Odyssey", et je m'attendais vraiment à adorer celui là aussi.
Je pense que ce drama peut plaire à un large public. Car je le répète, le drama n'est pas vraiment mauvais. Je suis surement devenue plus exigeante avec l'âge. Et avec ce que j'ai pu déjà voir ou lire.

I'm not sure of what I've watched

Nothing new. It's okay, millions of drama exist so it's okay if something it's repetitive, I guess.

I don't like when these supernatural stuff is seen as "cool" "sexy" bla bla I mean, I can't explain it well but to me it's been pretty childish. It's not THAT bad but it's just tiring. At least to me.

I had to drop it because I couldn't take it anymore. The story was actually interesting but I got irritated every time for how the main characters are handled.

Completely uninterested about the main love story, it didn't make my heart race not even once. I'm more interested in the two brothers.

Maybe when I relax a bit I'll finish those 6 episodes but I had to take a break from the characters.

LITTLE SPOILER
When she told her two friends/collegues whatever they are about the Gumiho and what they were in their past life I don't know, it just became ridiculous to me. With that attitude like "I know everything, I'm cool, I'm about to make your mind blow" STOP PLEASE.

PS. The actors did a great job, it's not their fault. Something had to be fixed. I'll try to finish it and in case id fix this review.

Overhyped, Below Expectation Drama

First of all the most positive things I can say about this drama is the acting of Kim Bum and Lee Dong Wool.
Now lets start the review:
The first 4 episodes are the best. You will love them, they will keep your curiosity and you will like be the characters (not all maybe). But after these, episode 5-6 are the most boring and really bad episodes, they are like filler to this drama. After these the ride for the enjoyment is up and down. Some episodes are good and some are bad.

The romance between the leads is best in the starting episodes then it becomes cringe. You will see yourself fast forwarding their scenes together. They have chemistry sometimes and sometimes there is none.

As for acting,
Lee Ding Wook is did a good job not great. This role suits him. He is cunning and humourous.
Bo Ah, Not a fan of her acting and never was. Her she did a good job in few episodes. But her acting is cringe sometimes. She is not suitable for the romance here or maybe the writing is poor.
Kim Bum, Never saw him before, this is my first drama of his. He is the shining star here. You are gonna love his acting.
Side Characters also did a very well job.

Overall it is not a bad drama. The writing could've been a lot better.

Big mess with room for potential

First half of this review will be spoiler free, other half will contain spoilers.

I was so frustrated by this that it was the first drama that gave me the motivation to start writing a review. I seriously have no idea why this is the kind of drama that is being hyped and loved around the internet when there really is nothing good that comes out, except for Lee Rang, the second male lead played by Kim Bum.

To give it initial praise, Tale of the Nine Tailed managed to create the very complex and 3 dimensional character Rang who has a solid storyline and character development arc. Maybe if this drama was solely about him I would've given it at least a 7. But it's not like I'm saying Rang was an extraordinarily written character, it's just that he was the best out of everyone else here with some questionable personalities.

Starting with the male lead Lee Yeon, I just dislike him. I don't know what they're trying to make out of him, but he's just a cheesy narcissistic douchebag who cares more about his half orange parted hair than his own brother. Not only does that look on Lee Dongwook a turnoff, his personality is just as turnoff, reminding me of the next door "Kdramas to Avoid" aka Lee Gon from TKEM. To me, Yeon is just a selfish jerk who acts like he has too much on his plate atm with lack of development because the drama makes it out that he's been perfect from the beginning. LDW's acting was decent, but Yeon isn't.

Next is the absolute worst female character of 2020, Nam Jiah. There's an obvious fine line between being brave or recklessly stupid and she's definitely the latter. Okay fair she's trying to research more on urban legends because it's her job, okay she has a strong driving force which is to find her parents, bUT ITS DEFINITELY NOT OKAY TO COME IN A SUS LOOKIN PLACE THT OBV HAS MONSTERS IN IT WHILE UR EMPTY HANDED JUST CUZ UR FORSAKENLY CURIOUS. Please ma'am use your braincells and stay out. U. R . A. MORTAL. The ending of the first episode did not just went all impactful for it to be destroyed the next ep by some damsel in distress who never learns her goddamn lesson and does the same thing again to the point Yeon has to save her over and over again at like every other ep.

Jo Boah's acting was also ehh. This is my first time watching her so I may not be too sure, maybe this role doesn't suit her, but here she's a prime example of actors not knowing how to make use of their huge eyes and just stare out wide-eyed with no change in their facial expressions everytime they act. To add to her badly written character, the scriptwriter does a bad job at giving her lines. She talks like an old-timed philosopher using allusions in the same tone to evoke for pity effect from the male lead.

The chemistry is almost non-existent, and I seriously just don't know what they see in each other; it's just love that comes from the multiple savings needed. The second lead couple Yuri and Shinju was also not that interesting eventhough they still did better than the leads. It's one of those instances where two people just randomly decides they want to date each other. Yuri seems like she has potential to be a pretty interesting character, but Shinju was kind of plain. More like, every other side characters are just basic, useless, and only contribute as fillers.

The story is just everywhere. Well, plus point for spooky factors that actually scared me. But several scenes are just irrelevant. There was one arc in the beginnings about an imoogi island which purpose other than for leads to get closer was never really explained thus another loophole is formed. Some other events could've posed for more potential, but they dragged a lot of other things. Even the main imoogi conflict was the most boring.

Acting from villains are also quite cringe. Can't say Lee Taeri wasn't that convincing as imoogi, and they did tried their best to do whatever the script was telling them to, but again, the scriptwriter is horrible since there is really no need for them to talk so dramatically and cheesily that the dialogues just make me want to mute the audio. Say you want to say "I killed that man." The characters of TONT will say it like, "The blood of the wanderer has perished upon my hands." ...The world doesn't speak like that.

Petty complains: It was also hella laughable when they added random not that intense action scenes at the most absurd moments, and the way Yeon fights was so cheesy. The drama seems to want to go for that vampire vibes with the quick speed teleportation fighting and overall just makes it more cringe. Personally felt that color gradient was also quite disappointing, they relied on a lot of random light vibe-unmatching sky colors that made it cheesy. Tbh this drama is just full of unnecessary cheese.

Forcing out compliments, OSTs were good and hardcore to make up for the lack of intensity, especially "Blue Moon".

*****SPOILER ALERTS*****

I previously mentioned Jiah's driving force was to find her parents. That caused the biggest loophole. First of all they never explained why the villains even want to cause that accident. And then the whole drama's purpose to find the parents is suddenly lost after they were found cause right after that they only had the world's most awkward 10min reunion and then done they don't talk about it anymore. And that leaves a lot of questions. How are you going to adjust after 15 years missing? How are they going to get a job? What's going to happen? But no, they just decided to use the parents opportunity for Yeon to visit them and cause even more filler couple moments.

My biggest pet peeve with this drama is THE SELFISHNESS. Basically imoogi has the power to control people around him to be suicidal or just instantly kill whoever crosses paths with him and the only solution is to kill his other half in Jiah's body. What they could do is create a scenario where they're investigating on the mysterious deaths cause yes it's strange, but no. Every other human there acts like pawns who are just REPORTING 900 DEATHS A DAY and the rest of the main chars are calmmm. Am I seeing this correctly? If the leads even have the least amount of conscience, I know this sounds mean to say, but Jiah should just sacrifice herself. That's actually a solution mentioned by a side char, but the drama just made her out to be heartless and cruel. I mean she ain't wrong. Even if it's fiction, imagine if it occurs to you where you suddenly see people around you dying at once and there's a definitive solution but the only people who can stop this aren't doing their frikin job cause they wanna pROteCt tHeiR lOVe. Bruh at the least if you have figured out another method with no tragedy, just hurry up and get it done with already instead of just dating everyday like it's nobody's business. The drama doesn't even bother addressing that to depth cause apparently it's normal and sympathizeable for the leads.

Lastly, the ending was just stupid and unreasonable and beats the entire purpose of the messy conflict. They even tried to insert a samsung PPL. The entire scene was just too dramatized and cringe, and moreover lacked explanations.

Conclusion: Ew.
