Kokdu: Season of Deity

The story is messy, so many plot holes, goodness i really cant finish watching this series. Such a waste of money for the producers. Some of the shots looks so cheap, the cgi is so much like in the year 2000's, its obviously a low budget production. The FL is so annoying, i dont know if its just the character that i hate or the actress itself, she's so dumb and shes a doctor? The ML, i think he's good but sometime hes so overacting, i just skip some of it. The only thing that i like here is the second lead couple, they are way better than the leads in terms of chemistry. So all in all this drama is such a waste of money, talent and time.

A good story from beginning to end. Great comic relief. The supporting cast excellent. Lively scenery . The past life story is revealed well.

The end was a great save and i really liked the charachters . Its different from most other kdrama so some might not get what they expect. Its a very good love story. And it is mystical. And long range karma themes. I will be thinking about this series for a long time. The care between all the charachters was moving.

It is intersting worldview that the creator has chosen angels of justice. And the karmic lessons are for all involved . And we see eaches self created prison of belief.

I decided to watch this drama because the plot reminded me of "Doom at your service" and "Guardian" - a mythic creature and human love story. There is something magical and romantic about these stories, and I can't help myself but watch them all.

The plot itself is interesting, it's not dull, and the story is unique. Also, what's important: there are not many moments to skip, as almost every storyline has its own mission in the series, so it's all harmonious.

BUT, as much as I like female lead (her look and skills), her character IS SO ANNOYING. Sometimes I want to hit her so badly, and it is a big problem for me, that they made her this way. She looks and sounds so stupid sometimes, that it's not even funny. The things she says, and the things she does, like what the heck.

It's really a shame, because male lead and his character on the other hand is so interesting and exciting. And also all the other cast as well.

I watched 8 episodes so far, and as much as I liked first episodes I don't know if I will finish this drama or not, as I don't know if I am able to struggle even more with not logical, impulsive and stupid movements of Han Gye-jeol.

Kokdu played by Kim Jung-Hyun is a God in the afterlife and carries out vengeance against people who evade justice in this world. He crosses paths with Han Gye-Jeol, a doctor who is played by Lim Soo-Hyang a reincarnation of someone from his past with links to why he is being punished. Over time they grow fond of each other but will it all come crashing down when she finds out he is a monster ? A reasonable plot idea and well acted with some interesting side characters but stalls a little after the first few episodes and moves slow until everything is tidied up at the end making it seem a little forced. Also even though the people he punishes are the lowest of the low it is not justice but revenge so it is difficult to like the character.

Wow was this a huge disappointment! The potential for an amazing drama was there and the horrible writing completely destroyed an otherwise really interesting plot.

The premise and actual plot were very good (although not particularly original) but the way they got from point to point was awful, often nonsensical, and confusing. The story felt disjointed, and at times I felt completely lost while watching. The first episode was horrible, and the second was only slightly better, but then the next few episodes gave me hope. But by the halfway point I knew this show was going to be a mess, but I wanted to finish it anyway because the ML and FL gave such great performances and their characters were so interesting.

That being said, even the great acting couldn't save the show. Sad moments were written so poorly that they failed to make me feel any emotion. Instead of feeling immersed in the story and characters, I felt like an outsider watching, not connected to any character or story line.

This was truly a shame, the cinematography was beautiful, and as I said the performances were well done. The writing completely ruined a show that had great potential to be an amazing fantasy kdrama.

I think I would recommend skipping this one! Watch Goblin instead for a similar story line that is done perfectly.
