I have mixed feelings about this drama. It is structured around a series of investigation cases, each intended to carry a spooky, folklore-inspired atmosphere tied to different regions. However, I didn’t feel this concept was consistently executed throughout the series. A noticeable portion of the later episodes leans more toward conventional investigative storytelling rather than maintaining the eerie or supernatural tone introduced early on.

The beginning stood out to me the most, as it leaned heavily into its atmospheric and unsettling elements. The sound design, setting, and overall mood were especially strong and created a compelling sense of mystery. These early episodes were where the drama felt most distinctive and engaging for me.

As the series progressed, the tone shifted and the remaining cases felt more grounded and procedural, which didn’t hold my interest in the same way. I also struggled to connect with the romance subplot. That said, the performances were solid throughout, and the martial arts and action choreography were definite highlights.

Overall, I appreciated what the drama was trying to do, but I personally wished it had leaned more consistently into its darker, folklore-inspired direction.
