Definitely worth watching!

Psychopath Diary is really worth your time and let me tell you why. The series is both a comedy as well as a thriller and it excels in both genres. The tense scenes of the series truly keep you engaged because there is a variety in how the series handles tension. At some points, you can accurately guess what is going to happen next, but then the series still surprises you with something new! The balance between the comedy and thriller genres is well done too, and the show doesn't always take itself too seriously. And that works perfectly.

The acting is outstanding too. All actors and actresses portray the characters convincingly and the casting is therefore perfect. Park Sung Hoon is super convincing in his role. With minimalistic changes in his facial expressions or his body language, he manages to be incredibly threatening and intimidating. Yoon Shi Yoon is also perfect for his role. He can easily switch from one side of his character to the other without losing the baseline of what makes his character that character (sorry if that is too vague, but I want to keep this review as spoiler free as possible). Jung In Sun is, again, also perfectly cast. Although her character is one of the more serious ones, she too brings fun and tension to her character, making her lovable too. Of course, the supporting cast has done an amazing job as well. All performers truly belonged in their roles.

The annoying fairy made me drop it.

I heard about this title through TikTok, and since the visuals looked great and I loved the premise of the series, I decided to give it a go. Well, I find myself incredibly annoyed with the fairy (FL), and since she is in a majority of the scenes, I dropped the series. Let me start with the positives first before I'll talk about the negatives: the visuals are stunning. The sets are breathtaking and a feast for the eyes. The art in the opening is stunning, fitting the show perfectly, and the song in the opening has made its way into my playlist. The costumes are nice as well and fit the characters. However, some elements look like they were made with a 3D printer, and unfortunately, that takes away some of the charms the costumes have. When the characters fly, it is incredibly clear the actors were in harnesses which doesn't help with the emersion. I've read Dylan is a great actor, and I understand why people say that, He did an amazing job. Pretty sure the actrice who plays the fairy is skilled too, but I can't look further than the character she portrays. I've always hated female characters that are too clumsy, childish (the childish voice doesn't help), whiny, unthankful, and incredibly naive that you can bluntly consider her stupid. In my eyes, the fairy has no appeal. She tested my patience constantly with her personality and shenanigans. I felt immensely sorry for the demon. I had hoped she would have gone through some character development at the end of episode 5. Sad to say it didn't happen, thus my patience ran out. I can understand why this series might appeal to some people, but if you're in it for a fun dynamic between the fairy and demon, you'll find yourself just as much disappointed as I am. I suppose the series could become better later on, and that would be great. Even so, I quit.
