Lee Joon: The villain

Horror is the last genre I pick for entertainment, I get scared easily with all the blood and ghostly immortal creatures. It had a dark aesthetic world full of monsters and Bulgasal (Immortal Creatures) which haunts, reincarnations, and curses that runs from ancient to the present.

Bulgasal has an interesting plot, full of fantasy thrillers with the unpredictable story. The history is written pretty nicely with all the characters intertwined with each other but the present story writing is quite stretched and lacking. Every episode is interesting and has a twist but sometimes the questions that arise with the twist remain unanswered in the Plot loops and I watched the next episode expecting to find those answers.
Every scene of the drama is cinematic with the color palette and lights in perfect proportion. Every episode has flashbacks, monsters, and immortal confrontations with humans. Many of them feel having the same expression with all the makeup.

Bulgasal (Kwon Na Ra) is like a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued. She has unconventional beauty which resembles immortality. Her role matches that of a solemn, optimist, and resentful lady of the past. She does a very good job.

Well, Lee Joon villain saves the day for me. He literally is my show-stealer. His villain characterization with bold wardrobe is exemplary. I picked this drama solely for LEE JOON, for I had started admiring him for a few months after watching his extensive range of acting in My Father is Strange. He is an excellent ick for the antagonist character and for the first time I am more into villain than Leads.

music is fine with my favorite is "If You Cant Forget". I really like the intricate BGM.
I would rewatch the drama to watch of course Lee Joon.

If you are a fan of fantasy, mystery, and thriller dramas, BULGASAL is a must-watch.
