This drama started so strong and promising! CGI was good (for once), plot was engrossing, characters showed promise. The case solving formula of solving a case per episode actually worked here. But then...... we got to know the female lead is actually a child in her mind because she is young "for an immortal", and the first thing that happens to you once you make it into the immortal relm is memory erase followed by a lobotomy.

Evidence of the enforced lobotomy slowly presented itself as the drama progressed. The FL had less and less brain-cells. Her loyal, devoted, yet scorned best friend, Wengu, sacrificed literally everything just to follow her through both mortality and immortality. He also happened to be gorgeous and a medical genius, but she took him for granted and acted like a spoiled brat around him. He tried to let the ML know that she is...... simple.... in her mind (more of a lobotomy, but we'll call it autism to make it sound nicer), so it was totally creepy and inappropriate for him to be going out with her, but of course our FL and ML could not be separated.

The ML is a wooden actor with a smile that would melt even the iciest of hearts. Did I think he was great in this drama? No. Did my heart skip a bit when he smiled? Yes, yes it did, against my will. 😆

I have never seen the FL in anything else, but she is not only stunningly beautiful, but there was nothing wooden about her performance. It's unfortunate that the screenwriters wrote her character the way they did, but she herself is a very good actress.

Wengu, the SML was a complex, brooding, conflicted and colourful character that stole the show from the other characters. However, his story was closely followed by the SFL character who was the most annoying perpetual victim character out of all of them! Whenever she entered a scene, it was always to whine about something, manipulate another character, or to throw herself at Wengu. I rejoiced when she finally died.

Cinematography was excellent, by the way. Very atmospheric. The overall idea of this drama was great in my opinion.

So, if you want to watch an engrossing SML get trampled on and try to get over one disappointment after another, then watch this drama. If you don't mind stupid FLs and a wooden ML as long as they are nice to look at, then go ahead and watch this drama.
