After the master piece that was Doom at Your Service, I started this show to try and fill the hole that one had left. It had big shoes to fill, and it failed miserably. I really struggled with the first few episodes and almost gave up. Everything would be going well, and then they'd add these horribly over the top scenes with extremely cringy, unfunny humor. I powered through because I saw potential on what the show was building with the main couple, and wanted to know how that would continue. Luckily, after episode five or so, the cringe lessened significantly (either that or I just grew desensitized). As a whole, I have to say I think quite of bit of thought was put into writing this show. There were a fair number of characters and a ton of different plot lines, but somehow they all ended up being interconnected and tied together in some way or another. A lot of them I didn't care for, and wish would have been taken out for the sake of making the show shorter (I don't think this needed to be 20 episodes long). We spent a whole chunk of the show on storylines completely unrelated to them main couple and plot, but at least there was a point to everything that was added. Lee Seung Gi definitely was the MVP of the show. His acting was fantastic. And him and Yeon Seo played quite well off each other. I really enjoyed every scene they did together. However, coming back to the fact that I was expecting an epic, fantasy love story riddled with angst and heartbreak, this whole thing ended up being a huge disappointment. I went in fully expecting to cry, but I never even teared up. If you're thinking of watching this and haven't seen Doom yet, go watch that one instead, it's better in every single aspect.

>A girls earning for a bad fairy that in his own words is a bastard that doesn't keep promises It started out well; both on the story and romance ; but its not well paced in the middle and then the ending is even worse ; [spoiler]its a cliffhanger hinting for second season that we never got (just like Vagabond ) [/spoiler]. A goblin level premise that gets half-assed story & production midway and produces an underappreciated show but u still have to watch it! PROS ------- - Lee Seung Gi is just gold in this series, I cannot think of anybody else for the role of Son Oh Gong. Same goes for Cha Seung Won (Ma Wang) and Sung Hyuk (General Frost). - Seung Gi and Seung-won are like brother ; after " Ÿou are all Surrounder " this is second series together and they carry the same bromance from there in this show. - Soundtrack is Bomb: "Let me out" is a hit, got stuck in my head for weeks, as well as "If You Were Me" and "When I Saw You". - I loved the fact that supernatural elements, history and human nature are intertwined in the love story: it makes it really special. - I don't particularly like Oh Yeon Seo, but i loved the first 5 episodes because of the tension between the two leads.- Lee El (Secretary Ma) is one of the most underrated character, IMHO, but I loved her a lot. CONS -------- - The graphics are very poor . - The fights were very average ; if you are going to make a supernatural series make them unbelievable atleast - The ending it's not that bad, but it's way too predictable: if you're not into open endings, just forget about this drama. - The leads really become dumb in the end ; for the plots sake. I think it's fair to say that this drama was good overall: the story is intriguing, well written for the first 10 episodes and it made me curious.If I can say something bad about it, I'd have gone for a shorter version. 20 episodes are too many, since part of the story (especially from episode 14) was just fillers.I'd rather watch 10 very good episodes than 20 just for the sake of carrying it on I don't think I'd re-watch this, cause it's too painful now (i didn't enjoy the ending) and also because of the dragged out part (13-17), but It was definitely worth my time.

It was full of Deux Ex Machina moments. Plot devices appear out of nowhere to resolve the situations. I didn't like it as much as Goblin. Only thing redeemable was Ma Wang's arc, Ma Wang & Son Oh Gong's fights and Bu Ja.

The bad computer graphics ruins the show because it makes the characters look arrogant when half the time the fighting effect isn't there. Son o gong should be a really powerful character but some scenes of him fighting the spirits just makes him look lame and Seung gi still had to give that character the stand offish/cocky vibe. It actually makes me dislike O gong lol As much as the good reviews for this show, it somehow seems to lack something that captures my attention. It doesn't pull me in and i actually don't care much bout it. Sam jang is kinda boring looking and so is her character, O gong looks lame and the only one that makes me laugh is the demon king. The rest of the characters don't leave any strong impression as well. I'm 9 episodes in and it feels like I've watched the show for a month lol i might try to push through for the last 11 eps but i know it's not a good show to me because even I caught myself dreading the fact that there's 11 more eps to go.
