I've been in the mood for darker dramas lately, but after watching Jang Nara in V.I.P., I decided to give this drama a go. The premise was quite unique and caught my attention. Like most of these types of dramas, the plot was pretty predictable, though that wasn't what detracted me from it. To be honest, I got quite frustrated with most of the side characters as the story progressed. They seemed to add unnecessary ( and not very interesting ) drama to the plot. Eventually, the drama as a whole started to drag a bit ( even watching it in 2x speed ). While I don't regret finishing it up, it wouldn't be a drama that I would instantly recommend or rewatch.

I'm not a huge fan of dramas with fantasy elements in it, but I decided to give this drama a chance because of Kim Bum, whom I haven't seen in a drama in years. As I started off, I was actually quite into it, but a few episodes in, it started to drag for me. I couldn't bring myself to really even think of turning it on, which isn't a great sign. I think I just lost interest in the storyline, and hearing from a friend about how she didn't love how it ended, I'm not sure I can bring myself to spend 10+ more hours on it. For now, I'll be dropping it, but maybe if I have extra time, I'll think to pick it up again.

Shocked at How Much I Enjoyed This Drama

Do you ever enjoy something so much that you feel the need to share about it the moment you finish it? That's how I feel about this drama. Truth be told, the premise sounded really odd to me when I encountered it, and the fantasy / supernatural elements are not my cup of tea. However, I was in a rut about what to watch next and decided to give it a go. No regrets!!!

It's not really a drama for the faint-hearted, especially if you can't handle blood. I would often have it playing when my sister was around, and she commented a few times about how it was a bit scary and too much.

The acting in this drama was absolutely phenomenon, from the minor characters to the main characters. Each villain really draws you in, leaving you angry at how a human could be so cruel to do certain things. I absolutely loved that Kang Bitna's character would bring the criminal into their own "crime scene" to experience the torture of what they did to those they killed.

While the romance in this drama seems a little odd (simply considering the whole premise), the chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young was fire. You can't help but want to root for them together even if it doesn't seem logical.

There are also some small comedic elements that help to break up the tension and thrilling aspects. The music was also fantastic!!! And the ending credits? Chef's kiss.

Highly recommend giving this drama a try, especially if you enjoy the genre.
