SOPHIW KIM COUNT UR FUCKIN DAYS <33
the way i cried over this is not even funny . seokga won over my heart at the end and so did hani helloooo
then again tbh they had me mad too many times to make my review overly positive . most of their actions pissed me off so bad but other than that i did like their romance and the entire part where they were searching for the witness <3
also anyone wanna talk about how many times it was mentioned what car seokga has? 😭 was it just me or was that mentioned quite a lot lmaoo him and his jaguar xjs
(straight up copy and pasted this from good reads)
update; been a few many days now and i'm changing the star ratings just because i'm always thinking about this book like i think it is now a piece of me and even tho i stand by what i said about the characters making me mad like. all the time THEY ALSO MADE ME EMOTIONAL AND GIDDY

an intriguing blend of korean mythology and kdrama! i wish i was more familiar with the latter bc i've seen other reviews mention a lot of references and nods to popular kdrama series, but unfortunately they'd all go over my head.
i always enjoy reading less-utilized mythology sources; i was constantly looking up different creature references. and the food 🤌🏼 any food descriptions or new foods are a plus for me in books. the early 90's setting was also quite fun and nostalgic - i almost keeled over at "expensive nokia 121" lol.
while the murder mystery could be gruesome at parts, it was nicely juxtaposed with the silliness of the kdrama-esque relationship dynamic between our fallen god seokga and the infamous gumiho hani. i do feel like it wasn't the most complex relationship i've read in a book, but it was fun. they did act a bit teenager-ish for a god and a mythological creature of hundreds/thousands of years of age, but i chalk it up to the modern inspirations.
i probably would've given this 3.5 stars, but i like the creativity of blending contemporary kdrama with ancient mythology.
not one of my fav reads this year, but i'm interested in seeing where book 2 goes with that ending 👀
