This is my first mdl review, so bear with me please.
First of all, I haven't read the manga, so my opinions are based solely off of the show.
The premise was interesting, a twist on a traditional fairy tale. I waited for 15 episodes to find out everything that happened & people's reasons for doing things that they did. Still, the characters have little depth except for the professor & Kim Geum.
We got little to no background information on the fairy or how she spent 699 years without her husband. Why she wasn't at least upto date enough to use paper, if not modern technology. Her character was stupid, & honestly aside from being accommodating, smiling & making good coffee i didn't see any merit in her character. Her feelings could be blown by a wisp of wind, they had so little substance.
The story had unnecessary characters like the three musketeers, who made absolutely no difference to the story. They wasted a lot of screen time that could have been dedicated to writing a tighter narrative.
There are plot holes like the young pretending to be college student guy; he was made to look like he was one of those humans/special beings who possessed some flair for the fantastic/supernatural & that's what drove him to be declared as mentally abnormal. However in the end his closure was worse than a bandaid ending.
Kim Geum had more chemistry with Jeom Soon than with the fairy. He was endearing & I wanted him to get the woman he wants.
The story would have been interesting had it been about falling in love because of a wrong notion & how the heart can change over time, but I don't think the Prof even liked the fairy for what/how she was, he just fell in love with the idea of a woman that loves him. He did not look ready for a romantic relationship at all even at the end. I'd rather take an open ending of his romantic possibilities, since he's now cured of all traumas
The good - the osts, fairyland shenanigans, the parent x children scenes, the acting.
The bad - The CGI, the execution of the plot, the toilet humour, & everything else.
Overall, this drama could've been a 4-6 episodes drama special & it would have been much better.
I liked the ending, I wish if that was what they were going for all that time they had written it better so our final guy wasn't a second choice the FL was settling for, & had realized their great love at some point before the end.
