Desgraça ao Seu Dispor (2021)

best second lead storyline

first of all, i'm a fan of Lee Soo-hyuk. attracted to both his visuals & amazing voice.
I watched this drama mainly due to him, loves his role here. Quirky, smartar** with amazing comeback, and of course the ever confidence in his pursue of the second female lead.

there are shortclips in youtube as a summary for the second leads romance storyline, which I occasionally rewatched.
Aint no man exist in real life. His dedication & devotion to the woman he likes.

drama OST is also a big yes. Ailee's powerful voice brings up the feel everytime i listen.

Its Not Your Average Fantasy Drama

Yes, Its just not your average fantasy drama. I've seen many of them and by far this is one of the best.

I love how the story being put together. It may seem a bit slow but for me it was just nice.
The first 2 episodes got me hooked real bad that I began following it every week. I watched it with the expectation of a sad ending. But the writer decide otherwise. This drama gave a very subtle ending. Its kinda rare for Kdrama-land to give a satisfying ending to most of the important characters (usually only the main ones).
I think the message from this drama is.. whats meant to be will happen regardless and those fated together will always end up together.

Here in the drama there's two main couples (sort of). Where each of their lives intertwined each other and eventually became sort of family.

The actors:
The chemistry between Seo In Guk (SIG) and Park Bo Young (PBY) were super amazing. You can see this on their behind-the-scene clips in youtube.
SIG portrayed his character well, being "Doom" (the destroyer) he had to have cold eyes and expression and he nailed it. SIG acting skills never disappoint and this drama just another prove of how amazing he is.
PBY is cute, bubbly and super friendly. I liked her character here as Tak Dong Kyung a lot. A selfless, patient and caring person that she is always putting everybody else above her. Thats why Myeol Mang always said that he existed for her, as if the Deity's is rewarding her for her good deeds in life.

Lee So Hyuk (LSH), Shin Do Hyun (SDH) and Kang Tae Oh (KTO) chemistry are also another reason to watch this drama. Each of them portrayed their character well.
LSH often play very cold characters in dramas/movie. So this time he has a cold look but soft heart character which kinda suit him pretty well. And finally.. He got the girl in drama-land. The way he look at SDH character (Na Ji Na) is so sweet. His eyes seems like shooting hearts at her and he speak softly only at her. Whilst he is being all prickly with other people.
SDH is very good at portraying her character. A quirky yet kind-hearted towards her percious Tak Dong Kyung. She is like the older sister who protects her siblings. I also love how she is very endearing towards Sun Kyung although he is not her real siblings.
KTO well he is just super cute and handsome especially when he smiles. His acting in "Run On"was my favourite but lets add this one as well. He portrayed it really well. Although in this drama he came out a little bit spoilt but he managed to grew up in the end and be a responsible adult.

Lastly not forgetting Dawon (SF9) as Sun Kyung, the annoying yet caring little brother. I love how he grow close pretty quickly to SIG and LSH taking them both as his brother in law. He is super protective of his sisters (yes he take Ji Na as his real sister) although he can be annoying and joker some times.

Overall.. all actors portrayed their characters very well.
I've read a lot of negative review on this drama. But have a look yourself just the first 2 eps.. see if you like it. For me the story is just as warming and nice as it is. Again its not your average kdrama.
Not all fantasy dramas are good but this is one to look out for because it gives you warmth and smiles as you watch it.
Oh and the OST are super good. SIG sings one of it and I read somewhere that he wrote the lyrics himself. The song is very touching and has nice tunes to it. Have a listen to it. (Title: Distant Fate by Seo In Guk).

Hope you will enjoy this drama as much as I did. Thank you for reading ^^

Deep emotions , perfect acting game, !

Recommend ! if u like deep emotions and serious characters + different shades of emotions - this is what u need !
in East Eu websites this serie has 14980 rating likes ! its mean - yeah all these thousands people watched it and appreciated !
Biggest plus is : perfect acting game , charismatic talented actors , interesting plot which dont let u understand what kind of final will be. I think that is perfect , because u can think every episode by urself different finals .. the most I like , of course , how played Seo In Guk , his character more serious in my opinion , because as he ain't human he trying feel and feels much emotions than main female character Don Gün ..I think he more suffered in the series , he cant help her as he / she wish .. he jus did his best and finally he appeared with her ( what is so surprised me into good reason )
Even support role characters did well their job on acting ! coz all was harmonically in every episode ( even if I didnt like some moment on scenario) ( am usually carefully analyze that what I watch coz I like not only have satisfaction from serie but analyze the acting game and etc )) so I didn't like a little the main female character on scenario , she not too serious about what she has and she not so care about Kim Sa Ram in last episodes when he became a human .. why ? coz if u long time suffered about to be survive and not lost ur love .. finally u alive but still suffer about u lost ur boyfriend and , when he finally appeared ( u have 2 chance ) u must care about him and spend with , every second ( logically yea ) but she didn't .. as he will never disappear again .. also very beautiful music. I think all was harmonically cool in that serie , songs , sound tracks , they helped to feel the atmosphere .. I think the general idea of the serie not jus fantasy line as genre which we must take it but something more deeply serious about everyone can understand for themselves in serie ..

This set my standards higher than it is supposed to be :)

I have been a fan of kdrama since 2009 so I sometimes become choosy on watching kdramas these days. However, this drama surprised and impressed me in a lot of ways. Story wise, it has a great plot, well-written, and balanced. I really wanna commend the casting, because the lead couple turned out to have such a great chemistry. Their friendship is different, and on screen, they seemed to help each other become the best in their character. Not gonna forget the other casts, of course, because they also made the drama more fun. Oh and the OST? One of the best! I even bought the OST Album cd :) and even when I finished watching it, I tend to miss them and watch different scenes over and over, as well as the behind the scenes. Sorry if you feel I am exaggerating, but this is really how I felt after watching the drama. My attachment to them has become too much that I couldn't even move on lol. Worth your time, swear! Also, this is a comeback drama for seo in guk <33

Almost perfect

It gave a lot of Goblin vibes as other people have mentioned. But it is very different from Goblin. I delayed watching this drama because i got a lot of gloomy vibes from it and i was right. It was really sad and I cried in many episodes. So you need tissues for sure.

Initially it was difficult for me to continue the drama with full attention because up to episode 4 i couldn't figure out why ML wanted the world to end, what was this "contract" and why he was soo after the FL. I loveee SIG but maybe the writers didn't write his part convincingly or what I'm not sure, but he didn't really seem to HATE hate human beings enough to end the world. (maybe i was expecting Lucifer level hate).
After the 4th episode things were a bit clearer and the drama got interesting. This is another drama where the story is shorter than the drama. The story and twists could be 6eps long but the drama was 16 eps. Anyway i loved SIG's face and FL is cute as a button so no complaints there.

I know a lot of people didn't like the second leads love-triangle plot but i loved it. Maybe i could relate to it? I liked that the 2nd FL didnt choose the 'school crush' who was rude and left her hanging for yearssss. Their story showed growth and maturity as they age... Its rarely seen where the girl choses the second ML even if it is the sub plot here. I'm looking forward to that day when we will have the main FL choose the sweeter second ML. #endsecondleadsyndrome

LIKED:
- The long fond looks between ML and FL. Main leads chemistry was good. Romance goes from hugs to kisses and cuddling.
- FL's entire support system- her best friend, brother, aunty.
- The happy ending
- SIG (he's just tooo handsome)
- Park Bo Young (she's just too cute!!)
- No crazy twists, no recurring annoying characters,


DISLIKED:
- The sadness and crying. omg so much of it and for so long.
- 16 eps
- Storyline could have been slightly better

Overall, watch it for the main leads, emotional ride, for a fantasy, magical fixing of situation type drama.

Confusing plot, poor dialogues interspersed with some nicely done romantic scenes

The drama tried to be thought provoking but only became confusing with each episode. There are so many plot holes and poor world building which you have to force yourself to ignore. If it was extremely romantic and entertaining then these plot holes could have been ignored. But sadly the drama wasted time on senseless philosophical dialogue and uninteresting side characters. Not to mention the endless crying on the part of the female lead and those around her. The chemistry of the leads lasted as long as the male lead remained evil and Park boyoung remained true to her character. As soon as these two get together after episode 7 there were times when they felt more platonic than in love. Also boyoung started acting like a romantic comedy heroine trying to look overly cute which made her acting look unconvincing at times. I was confused about the show's genre at times. Is it a romantic comedy or a melodrama? The ending to say the least was lackluster and the plot dragged on unnecessarily. The key to enjoying the show is to never question the show's logic or try to analyse it's plot.Some romantic scenes were really done well and in the initial episodes the chemistry between the leads is off the charts. The background music was good though the songs are those typical of kdramas.

Absolutely amazing drama, loved every bits of it!

I loved this drama so much. I was never bored, not even once throughout the 16 episodes. Even though there are some other series like that, I found this one a bit unique in the sense that how it tells the relationship between deity and humans. It was a great drama showing the pain of having cancer and knowing you are going to die soon. Amazingly executed that. I loved the chemistry between the two leads, they were both great and charming since the start. In my opinion, the story was nice and chill. Right after I finished watching, I spent a few more hours watching my favourite scenes. I genuinely don't understand how people call this drama wasted time or potential- to me everything was nice and after a looong time I finally could watch a K-drama that I enjoyed.

If you like to cry a bit but have a happy ending this might be for you. Do not get fooled by the comments and decide for yourself if you should see it. Thats what I did and I am so glad I ignored the bad comments.

Have you ever received a nicely wrapped birthday gift but the box is empty? or have you ever eaten a dumpling but someone forgot to put the stuffing in? this drama is like that.
Watching it makes you feel empty but I still want to watch it because it's still alluring. overall there is not a lot of story to tell for the main characters. so their story keeps on repeating over and over again.

I can't say that the story is poorly written, on the contrary the story is well written but the plot is missing, the development in the story is missing. but the dialogues are fun, the characters are interesting, the actors are hot, cute and adorable.

I was pretty much crying from the first episode owing to Park Bo Young's stellar acting.

But the second lead's love tringle is much more interesting. I think it is also the reason that this drama was still floating.

Usually when it comes to supernatural dramas, the story mostly tends to focus on the supernatural character and his love story. plus they tend to revolve around some tragic mystery or spans several lifetimes. But this story is unlike them, this drama is about this random supernatural dude falling in love with a random girl in the street. no complicated plot twists.

And I also feel like in this drama it's talking about "a" story that "the" story of the supernatural being.

ALMOST.....

I think Tak Dong Kyung is like a bottle of excellent wine that gets better with age.
SHE CAN ACT. Uau, I'm impressed how she can deliver emotions with equal amount of dramatic and poised.
She reminded me of Glen Close.
Seo In-guk performance is also an ace, balancing the multitude of emotional changes the character go trough.
Now, classic money grabber style, they overstretched the story with side stories that were hard to keep up with.
Thumbs up to the casting director for placing at least 2 secondary actors that were good as the main ones: the hot as hell Lee Soo-hyuk, and the super pretty (even though she's skin and bones)Shin Do-hyun. If she's so fresh weighting 10 kg imagine how good she could be if she was just skinny and not deprived.
The last two episodes were "soapy" and at times confusing. Still wondering what their objective was with the love myriagon of the secondary characters.

Made an account to make this review.

I tried looking as I am a fan of supernatural, mistery like genres such as Goblin, Korean Odyssey, W,Tale of a Nine Tailed fox, My Gf is a Gumiho, My love from the star and so on. Then I came across this drama. I read the top comment and found that some saw it boring and waste and such but then I still would like to try. So I watched and in two days, finished it.

For me, it was good, I liked how they resolved and came up with that ending. It was pretty satisfying for me.
Tho, I just wanted for Lee Hyun Kyu to have a better ending tho. It’s quite hanging for me.

Anyways, this is merely my review and opinion based on my POV.

Hope you had a great time watching it too!

P.S. Breaking Down by Ailee is so addicting!

I love it a lot

I'm not a big fan of super dramatic dramas, and I tend to like to comedic dramas like Strong Woman Do Bong Soon or The Best Hit (I would recommend both of these dramas!). This drama however, really drew me in. The acting is top tier, and the story is very unique. Honestly if it weren't for the male lead, I would not be watching this drama right now. His character is portrayed as doom itself, and the drama executes that idea very well. The actor himself is really good at making this character evil. What really makes this unique however, is that Myul Mang (the main male character) is truly evil. He acts evil, he says heartless things, he convinces himself he doesn't care. It makes me interested to watch the rest of the drama for potential character development. Overall, this drama is so far super good!

The best first episodes I have ever seen in a Kdrama.... from there it's BS

I've come to a point where I've watched so many dramas and seen so much that I have no time to waste with stupid plots
Tell me about a slow paced drama... the drama is sooooo so that 1 hr feels like a marathon. I was literally exhausted just for trying to make some sense of what I was seeing. The story makes no sense. The characters are unlikable (specially the female lead's younger brother, her boss, Kim Sa Ram and his deity friend) , but the acting is quite solid. And what's up with that cigarrete... are you gonna smoke or not?
I know that it's just another stupid drama and I won't give it my energy. If I was still 13, this would have been the drama for me. But no time for BS anymore.
