I started watching this drama because I was intrigued by the fantasy element of the Healer, Esper, and Protector and wanted to see how a romance plot would play out with these added devices. Unfortunately, my expectations were too high and I was let down by the execution.

While the Healer and Esper capabilities were fairly well established--but not without their own inconsistencies--there was no point of the Protector whatsoever, and by the ending it was very apparent that the Protector magical class was only created so that the second lead could have a "role" that would make him more special, and therefore, a more viable competitor for the leading lady's affection. Except...the Protector turned out to be useless.

Unlike the other two magical classes, his "power" wasn't tied to him, but to the ring that was in his possession. Additionally, the story initially stated that the ring was used to restore the Healer after she expended her energy healing an Esper, which we saw put into action once, but instead of establishing a system of checks-and-balances between the three classes--like rock, paper, scissors--that would allow the Esper and Healer to use their abilities without anyone dying, the ring's ability was quickly abandoned and forgotten because writers really, really wanted the lead male to have to either lose his sister or his lover for the sake of a melodramatic ending.

Seriously: Why the f*** does the Healer have to die to save an Esper when there is supposed to be a magical ring that will restore the Healer to full health?

The writers didn't even bother trying to come up with explaining why that is not possible. It was like they completely forgot about the ring half-way through the drama.

Then there was the romance plot. It was extremely rushed in the beginning, montage-ing over any interactions that would have explained why they were compatible and loved each other, and just when the audience was starting to believe in their romance, the drama slammed the breaks on it. Despite this, I did like the leading couple and found that they had good chemistry. It's just a pity that this drama was poorly written and directed.

To be honest, the only reason I kept watching this drama was to see if the writers were really so incompetent that they abandoned the Protector/ring plot device in the middle of the drama without offering any explanation. SPOILER: Yup, they suck.
