I wasted 1 hour and 40 minutes I'll never get back. All that drama, and she married someone else.

I'm still watching this series and I'm glued to my seat waiting for the outcome. The story is implausible... As the laws of the universe are. The actors, all very realistic bring or rather weave their personalities into this storyline in such a authentic way, you can't help but be pulled in, believing this is who they really are. For example, Dream is not a being anyone of us would have imagined to be so sad, tragic, alone even when he is with others. He is stoic throughout the show but somehow, you absolutely feel his heartbreaking. Tom Sturridge does a wonderful interpretation of who and what Sandman is. His brooding ways are not boring, but finding solutions to his never ending problems of the process in the world of gods, mythology, religion and even physical science. This is the first time I felt empathy towards Satan, played by Gwendoline Christie. Her monologue was so entrancing and utterly heartbreaking. I thought she should win an Emmy for that performance. All the other characters were wonderful too. OK, this show does have a lot of gory and bloody scenes at times, it's prolonged. So, cover your eyes or walk into another room if it bothers you. This series is not for everyone. If you are not into the fantastical, if you can't run your imagination, this is not for you. This show forces you to leave everything you have ever learned about behind and just have the story lead you down to that path of dreams... And nightmares. Happy watching! 😊

Big disappointment. Lost 16 hours I'll never regain. This drama focuses on extreme stagnation in the lives of all the characters. No one moves forwards in a meaningful way anything they did. It's as if they wanted to be social misfits. 3 coworkers even make up the liberation club so they don't have to join a club that is mandatory at work. They sit around talking about how stuck they are. Never able to mentally change. It was pathetic but I kept watching in hopes it would get better but it only gets hopeful on episode 16, and only slightly better. By then I don't care about the characters anymore. I never met a bunch of losers in my life. No one is happy. The leading lady talks alot about it, even looks for signs about it, but does nothing to create any happiness in her life. No one talks to each other. The entire family might as well be mimes. The 3 adult children act hostile to each other or pretend the other does not exist. The leading Nan, Mr. Gu is a full blown alcoholic. No one.. Not one person ever told him to stop. I was actually afraid he would die. His supposed girlfriend, who adores him with no questions even says she will never nag him about his drinking. She even drinks with him. They come together and revel in this mutual depression, even enjoying it. I don't know anyone who falls in love and just want to be depressed with each other and are happy about it. I kept hoping someone would get over this perpetual funk but in the end, I didn't care anymore. I wanted to be liberated from this dysfunctional KDrama.

Best Korean period drama ever. So sorry the story did not have a real ending to give us fans closure.
