I watched this in two parts—binged until episode 15 and then waited for the show to end so I could binge the finale. I’m so glad I did it this way. Even if you can’t binge it all, I strongly recommend at least binging the last six episodes.
The show gives you hints about the backstory and villain in the early episodes, but I constantly craved spoilers because I had too many guesses—none of which turned out to be right, lol. The storyline flows perfectly; nothing feels too fast, too early, or too late. It keeps you suspicious and feeds those suspicions until the whole truth is revealed.
Since I don’t want to give away any spoilers—and the whole series is less than four hours—let me just say this: the last three episodes completely blew my mind, the plot twist was wild and the bromance was quite strong.

Just for some Religious Knowledge
I'm so glad they also included explanations about every little belief mentioned in the story. In each episode, the people trying to solve the murder/ritual carefully examine the essence and meanings of the religious symbols they uncover. Each side story explains the belief featured in the main episode with the same number.Even though there are a few scenes taken directly from the show, I personally preferred watching the side stories before the main series to build some background knowledge. But of course they can also be watched after each episode to reinforce what you’ve seen.
In my opinion, these explanations prove how solid the foundation of the show is and how well it ties together the crime and horror themes. Since I don’t have much knowledge about Western beliefs or polytheistic Asian religions ,especially rituals, superstitions, and similar concepts, the 4–5 minute side stories were really helpful. Even though Thup, the character played by Pooh, briefly explains some of these things in the main series, the side stories added a lot.The fact that they planned and filmed these alongside the main series while it was being released is pretty impressive.

Almost Had a Tantrum
It was a silly but fine series in the beginning: your typical university boy with a platonic crush on another. The name 'Magic Move' itself has no meaning, and the series didn't have any magical elements at all. Just some fortunetelling and tarot reading, which feels like they were just added to the script to make it different or to give it a certain vibe.I was still happily binging it. The couple was happy and living in the moment, but the side couple literally stole the show. Their talks were meaningful, their scenes were beautiful, and they really had a thing and a 'story' unlike the supposed main couple.
I tried ,and really wanted to, keep going for the side couple, but after watching the preview for the 9th episode, I decided that it's just not worth it. When you make a mistake and the person you wronged stays silent despite knowing about it, that is called being forgiving, not playing tricks. And even if he sees it as a trick, his reaction made it hard for me to sympathize with him. I mean, what's the difference between you and him? He just gave you a taste of your own medicine by playing along with your trick. I wouldn't even call it tricking someone if it leads to what you truly wish for. You were so happy, just feeling guilty because of your own lie, but instead of appreciating his forgiveness, you chose to ruin everything.
He even ruined his relationship with his best friend by blaming him along with everyone else like a spoiled child, and they were begging for forgiveness. That was the biggest thing that pissed me off. This post was more like a 'why I dropped this series' explanation instead of a review, but I still hope that it helps you because I think this aspect is the most important thing to know before even starting it.
