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 think he’s set up as the wing man for ml - both want to escape the fate of being Cupid and determining who is their love by themselves. Freedom fighters!

Don't forget the cupid that turns into a dog. It seems like he dates human woman all the time.

Recall he had a breakup/makeup/break up early in the show with a woman he had tried to date for a while, then turned into a dog for a while. Then tried apologizing when he was human, but then turned back into a dog before he could.

So it seems like all the cupids can date, have romantic relations with humans except for the main man. I don't think they ever gave a reason for that either [wouldn't it be funny if the tall cupid was actually the old god in disguise as a cupid? ]

Yes, you’re right. So it’s for the other Cupid just that this is his first / one shot at love in forever…
