Kokdu: Season of Deity

I watched up to episode 8 and could no longer go on. The story is not actually a bad one, but the female lead really annoys me - a combination of her wierd looking face (plastic surgery), her acting and the design of her character. The acting cute and supposed cheeky arguments between the male & female leads are just as annoying, noisy and pointless. It got to a point where i had to just skip through the whole dialog to scenes where it might have looked like part of the plot. To be fair, the other actors and characters are ok, with some funny parts, but overall, story dragged on way too long with too much of the female lead acting dumb and annoying.

If ever a series needed editing to half the length this is it. It starts off okay with a historical star crossed lovers deaths. But then the modern present day story goes Nowhere.

Some much of it is just stuck in a rut not moving forward. Poor Kim Jun Hyung given such bad dialogue.

Im Soo Hyang has often been ridiculed for her acting. But here the story is worse than her acting. The endless back and forth between the couple is meaningless. So many words that mean zilch.

The secondary stories are not any good at all. Her brother and the friend are so uninteresting.

The story is so scatterbrained. One moment there is some dorky comedy the next moment some overacted angst.

This is a terrible series. Avoid it at all costs.

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.

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.

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.
