Updated Review, Not the best drama personally.
The old review notes I had after 11 episodes have been deleted. Update after completion >
A major issue I have with the series is the characters. There was a tendency for the characters to use romance as a foundation for their being, their presence. Yes, they had jobs, but that isn't really a complete picture of their character. There were 16 episodes supposed to tell me everything I needed to know about them in relation to the story, and it didn't. It was primarily due to the story structure that failed them. The story seemed to revolve around a romance triangle centered on indecision for 30% of the time. Then there was the boss' office romance? Everything was a mess. And by the time episode 13 -15 came along and tried to make a bit more sense out of things it was far too late. Anyhow...
It took me about 16 days to complete the last 5 episodes. The story improved a little bit. Personally, I have no problems with the actors. Their characters didn't appeal to me. In the end, it's art and its own story, so who am I to change it? With that said, if I could change some things, I would be able to come up with a million ideas. In order to keep my review as brief as possible, I will just say I would have started the story in the past, built up a strong foundation between the lovers while showing critical elements such as the Shaman aspect, the box, curse, etc. They promise to meet in the next life in order to fulfill the destiny for xyz reasons.
(continuing with my ideas) >Despite similarities or differences in appearance, there may be some similarities between the present and the past leads. In the past, they died together. Present day -- They use the next 4-5 episodes to build the main character's bio as well as the plot and struggles that ultimately connect to the past. Each of them has a unique personal history, which gives them deep character traits that make you fall in love with them. Events and circumstances eventually bring them together by fate. They discover their destiny from the past together as they struggle through a better story. As you would have fallen in love with them far before they officially reunited, their chemistry is stronger and authentic because you would have fallen in love with them even before they reconnected.
In my opinion, it is a much better story than Oh no you drank the spell by accident! Now you love me? Wait a minute, you're engaged. Wait a minute, come back! Wait, are you pure? Let's stay away from each other. Let's kiss, but stay away! WT*^*?
There are a lot of ideas I have for this story, but it would be a waste of time to go into it further. While I tried to like this series, after watching so many great dramas in the past I have to admit that this one isn't very entertaining for me. Yes, chemistry is all they talk about, but the story itself is rarely discussed. (what does that tell ya?) My favorite chemistry comes from liking the main characters FIRST and their struggles throughout a riveting story, nothing forced, and they naturally come together as the story dictates.
