Ah I really liked this drama, I thought it was different, I liked the ghost and the afterlife themes I thought they were interesting and in season for Halloween and they were presented in an interesting way, sometimes I feel the mix of different themes can go very wrong if not presented and introduced well. When I started watching the series there wasn't a full cast list out for it so I was pleasantly surprised to see Shin Min Ah appear, she now has an affiliation with the supernatural type roles, which I don't mind, but I hope she mixes it up for her next role, I would like to see her play different characters. The rest of the cast I loved I thought all the supporting roles were wonderful. Kang Moon Young can be incredibly scary with her eyes she played the part beautifully, and Bang Wool and Dol Soe were so cute. It was nice to see characters like the jade emperor and the king of the underworld being included in the storyline there wasn't a particular need to have them in there but it made the story more dynamic. The story wasn't that predictable in places, which kept me happy. Improvement? I found the music a bit so so, I think there was one track that I liked but the others were a bit non eventful. The story was a bit slow in places just before the end and I feel like there were several scenes that were missed out of the ending, there was several events that passed that I wanted to see, I wonder if that was a time management tactic. Overall? If you like the supernatural, with themes of ghosts, demons, death and the afterlife in a light hearted manor, with some romance and comedy thrown in there in a historical setting, it's right up your alley. If your not sure, I recommend you watch two episodes and then decide, no drama appeals to everyone.
