ROMANCE! It happens.

I have to agree with other reviewers about this being the rare drama where having 16 episodes is justified. It wrapped up nicely, but I think an extra episode or two would have made the ending feel less rushed and given us more time with the two leads. There was romance, but not enough personally. Also, the romance isn't gushy and feels sort of balanced considering the main guy's disorder,

It would've been a 9/10 for me but I fast forwarded A LOT of, what I like to call, "empty space." It's when there's 2-4 minutes of silent pontification, a flashback of what literally JUST happened, or the same, re-occurring flashback.

The empty space didn't take away from the story.

Oh yeah: this is truly a narrative. There aren't apprehensive, what-if, tense moments of wonder. It's a straight-to-the-point drama that revolves around the subject of loss. It's ostensibly tragic and a very grounding experience. It's a dramatic story but stays away from being a melodrama.

I'm an emotional creature and had to deliberately try not to cry. The main girl got on my nerves sometimes, but just a little bit.

Lastly, the lessons in this story are truly humbling.

I love the comedy in this show. The connection between ALL characters were great. I would've actually stopped watching by episode 7, but I loved the side characters and all of the budding friendships too much to stop. The two leads had good chemistry as FRIENDS. There was no romantic spark between the two. Personally, I think the other guy would've paired better if the story nudged them together.

I hella guffawed during in each and every episode! The comedy is on point! It's a light show with attempts at squeezing the heart, but my eyes remained dryer than a heater.

THIS STORY TOOK OVER MY LIFE. I've never felt so much distress and frustration and love all at once in any show. This is truly a SOAP OPERA. If you don't want a soap opera, then get out of here now! This isn't a martial arts, fantasy, or political drama. It is a soap opera with awesome humor. :)

My friend and I would literally gush while watching our two main leads together. We were shipping them so hard and later searched if they were dating. AND OMG THEY WERE ALREADY MARRIED IN REAL LIFE. Their chemistry on screen is from them being real life hubby and wifey T_______T

Everything is perfect except two things:
(1) the worst thing about this show is the weird music. Actually, it's the weird sound effects where I don't know if the scene is supposed to be serious or light? The sound effect becomes distracting.
(2) long conversations that could be shortened--the time spent on theses conversations could've been used on something better like giving us more scenes between our two leads.

Once I got used to the direction of the story, I started hitting the fast-forward button during the "screaming women" or "conniving women" scenes.
Funnily enough, our female lead's dad is the worst person in that world. Ambivalence really is quite despicable. Makes me question my own values now.
Our titular character doesn't become the main focus until like... episode 15? I don't remember when exactly, so expect that.

I look forward to RE-watching this in the future! :D Lol

Second half of show was a melodramatic mess. The thing I hated the most was when the 4th prince (the scarred face) would grab Hae Soo’s waist and pull her close to him. It happened way too often and it looked more like he was shoving the lower half of the her body onto his own. She was always grabbed and the guy was manipulative and toxic.
Yeah, the second half of the show, after it’s “dark turn” in it’s storyline, fell into a sinkhole. It felt like The writers didn’t know how to write Hae Soo’s character anymore and she became a dull, flat, boring character. Maybe the second half of the show was written by another team of writers. Her character wasn't appealing to begin with. The ending also sucked.

IU's acting was bland and still the same in other shows I've seen her in.

Upon second viewing, I am lowering my rating to a 7. I can't get over the rape-vibes from the ghost possessing the girl to sleep with the guy. It's effing weird.

If you're introducing Park Bo Young to anyone, show them this first before Strong Woman. Cause I showed Strong Woman first and then Oh My Ghostess. My friend was not impressed with OMG after viewing Strong Girl. Conversely, I watched OMG first and thought it was hilarious, and then Strong Girl, so I got the experience of "upgrading" to a better show.

Anyway, this is a good watch, but beware the seriousness of how this show makes light on the ghost forcing a woman to have sex with a man who actually isn't willing. And then it gets weirder.

First three to four episodes are slow.
Lots of historical background. It took many months for me to return to this show because I stopped at like episode 4 or 5. That's a lot of investment (each episode is 1+ hour), but I gave up because of the pace. The romance was attempted, but it wasn't there between the two leads. There was no chemistry between them. Great actors who act well, but no spark.

I only stayed for the bromance. It's bromance show.

And a commercial. This show has the most advertisement I've ever seen. Probably has the amount I've seen in my entire life.

The age gap between the leads though was too uncomfortable. Make the dude a 1,000 year old God at least in the body of someone who looks 25 or 30 instead of 40! The girl is in high school for God's sake. It seems too predatory with a 40 year old dude waiting for her finish high school.

10/10

It takes commitment and patience to watch and finish this story.

My complaint is moreso technical: it's about the passage of time. From what I understand, time on earth is SLOWER than time in Heaven. Which is really, really weird. I'm still confused about those logisitics. Like, with the thousands of years that passed in heaven, there should've been flying cars and residential spaceships in neighborhoods.

Ambiguous ending. Sort of dislike that, but the ambiguity DOES work in the story.

Beautiful, fantastic drama. Some folx are uncomfortable because of the incest overtone, but if you remain aware of the blind woman's isolated upbringing, those overtones aren't so cringing.

I highly recommend. I would re-watch
