Kokdu: Season of Deity

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.

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.

Korean Drama " Kokdu: Season of Deity " is a fantasy drama about a grim ripper god and the girl he is attracted to.

The drama has some nice premises, with Kokdu having to adapt to the modern world and learn how to not be, well, that much selfish and his over-the-top self. The doctor theme was another nice touch, as it, theoretically, would have offered some solid subplots. However, neither was used to its fullest.

Hence, the drama ended up being a dated reincarnation love story that had no pace, with random scenes and events happening and the whole story being the two main leads bickering.

The main characters, moreover, were somehow not enjoyable, and, especially, the girl was annoying and inconsistent with what she wanted.

So, overall, three out of ten.

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.

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.
