Supper excited story! Daebak!

Everything is unique and perfectly amalgorated! Storyline, thrill, emotional content, and most important intense emotional acting.
The synopsis of the story may sound quite absurd, but being out-of-this world is what makes it a fantasy right? I was utterly impressed by how the writer managed to create a rich fantasy world of demon, humans and ghosts — each with their own unique abilities and quirks. I thought the imaginary world she created was on par with the likes of Twilight or other famous fantasy stories from the West. I remember scriptwriter saying something to the effect of wanting to write a fantasy story that was uniquely Korean to rival those produced in the West. It was thus an ingenious move of her to center the story on a mythical being unique to Korean folklore that has not been featured much in dramas or movies. Not only does this present a great opportunity for her to deliver fresh content, it is also a chance to introduce a little known aspect of Korean folklore to an international audience. This drama piqued my interest and led me to read up more on kpop — although they are referred to as “Demons” in English, they have entirely different characteristics from the demon we know in Harry Potter and other stories from the west.
