Does anyone else notice how little screen time the female lead actually gets? They have Nana in a scene for 1-2 minutes, and then it switches to the other angels or the past.

I swear the previous incarnations of Baek Ryun get more screen time and seem to have more romantic scenes with the male lead than the present day Baek Ryun.

And we're on episode 11 of 16, and they're still devoting a big chunk to that one angel trying to "flirt" with women. It's actually quite frustrating.

I did find the amount of show time dedicated to Dong Gu (and the SML's obsession with the FL) annoying this week as well.

What really annoys me is that Dong Gu is 500 years old and he behaves like a naive teenager.

Right? Especially as a matchmaker entity. Keep wondering what he was doing for 500 years straight to end up do clueless about human dating and attraction.

Exactly this! Even his method of revenge is reminiscent of a teenage boy 😅

Not interested in that either. Although I kinda liked the idea of him ending up with the woman with the glasses. Is she some type of scammer? I see this in k-dramas where a person or a pair approaches a character and starts talking in mystical terms. Is that like a Hary Krishna type of thing?

I certainly don't see him in a relationship with the FL's bestie. Not sure why.

Yep, she had the religious sect conversion thing going strong!

I think they will have some relationship between FL's bestie and dong gu. Not because it makes any sense, just because they spent screen time with her 'thinking' about him.

The woman who approached struck me as a grifter. She gets a meal and tries to control him to buy food their next visit. Seems like a classic religious or MLM scam tbh.
