The title doesn't help. I was actually ready to pass but I did what I call movie click bait, I watched the movie. Good surprise, indeed! There're here and there the typical clichés but remove them and the movie is very decent. The protagonist fit a certain role in life and manages to find another that suits her much better. Worth the watch !

I remember how adoringly and epic was "the first part" about Ye Hua and Bai love story. Since I don't want to leave spoilers of that one here, all I'm going to say that that story is among my list of the greatest love stories I've read or saw. Right with Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, all of my fav Shakespeare stories, etc. I don't mind people saying I'm overreacting. I stick to my opinion.

Now we have this little gem with a tragic love that just needed to be developed. While the first part had more epic view of gods and goddesses, this one is more human. That's all I'm gonna say 'cause I seriously don't want to leave spoilers of this one too. Take apart the logic changes in storyline that had to be there, this is truly a second part to Eternal Love. Great performances by Don Hua Dijun and in general all the cast. A very special thanks for getting as many of the original cast as they did (what a treat to see Yang Mi reprising her role!). Watch it, first Eternal Love and then this sequel. Good times are ahead for you.

I try to see productions from around the world, just for learning and fun. Korean and Chinese productions have caught my attention a lot! Maybe it's because it's such an unknown "territory", so different than my own culture and also because I taught in an international high school and had Japanese, Korean and Chinese students who were always happy to chat and share. Anyway...

This is one of my favorite series so far and I'm including American, British , all. The comic relief was really fun and well done but what had more impact, for me, were the tragic line and the amazing casting (genius). Please excuse me if I mess up the names, I don't speak Korean.

The actor who played Shin Kim was brilliant. He must be quite a renowned actor over there. If not, he should be. He was able to do both comedy and tragedy in the coolest way. The actor who plays the grim reaper is very good as well. Another actor that called my attention was that officer Park. He gave to the character just the exact amount of evilness without overacting. He scared the &@'j out of me.

And last but not least, the actress that played Sunny, amazing at portraying a strong capable woman who survives on her own and doesn't need anyone but herself. Very cool indeed and a role model for certain. But let me point out that all actors were a perfect fit

The story is so deep and well elaborated; well thought and has even one or two sublime scenes that left me out of breath. Go on and watch this series. You won't regret it one bit.
