6 episodes too long, reveal 12 episodes late.
I love the psychic concept, reminds me a lot of the show Psych, however the MC and his crew just blatantly gets away with breaking the law numerous times to get what they want, even when pairing with cops. Can the evidence they use even be admissible in court? Show kind of relies on the Shaman being seen as insanely popular and foreseeing, and a large wave of shamanism in Korea, which I guess isn't as prevalent in other countries.
The final villain sucks, simply put. His motivation is terrible and extremely flawed, tries too hard at the psychopath and diversion angle by trying to hide who the villain is, but it's so so predictable and they point to it so obviously since early on. However, they have him remain the same until the very end for no reason, not even show a hint of crack or showing his true nature at all, until the very end. For an 18 episode show, waiting over 15+ episodes for the villain to finally reveal himself, what were you doing all that time before?
The side characters such as the FL and best friend are very powerful, and thankfully they aren't powerless when the plot requires it. FL is interesting but very confusing, she has no real common sense or logic and is just stupid for no reason. I still like her though, a powerful and independent person, but why make her a complete moron as a detective when things are laid out clearly, just throw out any form of logic when needed. That auntie character is also useless and kind of stupid, didn't even need to waste any time introducing her really.
18 episodes is just far too long for almost any show, especially when you don't really get into developing your characters as much. It was nice watching them do cases utilizing the shamanism, but they ditch that when they get into the main arc, which is kind of disappointing.
Solid concept, but runs far FAR too long. At least the cast is solid and enjoyable to watch.
