It’s not scary, even though it belongs to the horror genre

I watched it because I was looking forward to Nam Joo-hyuk’s return to acting. It wasn't exactly terrifying—certain creatures appeared, but there weren't any jump scares. I think the decision to leave romance out of the story was the right move, yet the leads still managed to have great chemistry; I loved it. I have to say the acting was good, but the standout was Jang Young-nam, who played the queen; she was truly brilliant. It gave me the feeling that the royals needed to pay for their actions rather than going unpunished, but then I reflected on how, in reality, things sometimes happen that way—karma doesn't always step in. I’d say this drama is a mix of *Sweet Home*, *Kingdom*, and *If Wishes Could Kill*.
