Has Character Development Horror Movies Always Lack!

I was anxious, scared, uneasy, angry, curious, worried and sometimes heartbroken but that's what I love about this! This drama was cinematically beautiful and musically eerie from the start! The film style was like a high-budget movie and the writing was enough to captivate me from the start (with the first 2-4 episodes being the most jarring).

STORY
The fast-paced introduction full of supernatural events, religious rituals, death, fear, and mystery sets the tone for the rest of the drama. The first half involved a lot of individual cases (similar to ones in crime dramas that only last for 2 eps) to provide necessary clues in connection to the larger mystery/enemy. In the second half, there was a noticeable change from individual cases to developing the main mystery. It was a change I appreciated since single cases get very repetitive. With a larger focus on the mystery of who exactly their enemy was, the twists and turns had me switching back-and-forth between guesses.

CHARACTERS
The tragedies and resulting effects the characters experienced had me worried for their well-being and that of the people who cared for them. Each character had sufficient time spent on truly developing their character's backgrounds, personality, and psyche with the progression of events. A detail I enjoyed was how they kept true to the limitations/restraints of what Choi Yoon and Kang Gil Young could do and when because of their jobs since this bit of realism made it more believable. All the actors had an amazing portrayal of their characters and were able to convey their emotions well.

OVERALL
Quickly piquing my curiosity, I became invested in how this trio would go about avenging their families against a demonic enemy. From how these characters were written, I came to care for all of them and hoped for the best overall outcome. From start to finish, this was a wild ride and one worth being a 10/10 rating!
