A fantasy romance between an immortal being and the human who could end his fate.
A fantasy romance about a man who cannot die and the human capable of ending his fate. It aired on tvN across sixteen episodes from late 2016 into 2017. Its reception, music and cinematography are all routinely cited when discussing the production standard of Korean cable drama.
The premise is large, but the focus sits on what living a very long time means rather than on the rules of its world. Immortality is drawn as accumulated partings rather than as power, placing romance and loss on the same axis. The fantasy device works as a magnifier for feeling, not a platform for action.
Cinematography and score carry much of the effect, so picture and sound quality noticeably change the experience. Korean cultural ideas about the afterlife and reincarnation are assumed as premise, so international viewers will follow it more easily with that context in mind.
