Exciting and mystifying

This was a wonderfully solid drama however the start was the most exciting, I wish it was as exciting all the way through. I love the visuals and Hwang Jung-eum's costuming most of all. They were beautiful enough to give IU in Hotel Del Luna a run for her money.

I started watching this because of Yook Sung-jae, I've been following him since the start of both his BTOB and acting career. It'd been so long since I've seen him act in something and I knew he'd be awesome. How has it been 3-4 years since Goblin? The premise sounded interesting but I was wary of Hwang Jung-eum, not because I think she's a bad actress but more so that I don't think she fits a normal Kdrama romance lead. She's good at the comedy though.

A few areas could've been more developed especially the 'bad guy' part. I'm still confused in regards to the bad guy but I also wasn't interested in that person so I don't really care. It felt like they were evil for the sake of being evil and they were so vengeful despite being the one who was evil in the first place. Basically everything about it wasn't that believable, especially when they hid in someone else's body, they were alternately too calm and too vengeful.

Overall this was a solid drama with some great acting and great visuals and I recommend it for any supernatural comedy lovers.
