It was a pretty solid horror drama that had amazing visual effects, story and music. The beginning for me was a little flat and was quite boring, I struggled a little to get past the show that but midway is where things started to take off. I read a few reviews and a lot of people have said how dumb the characters are but I think it was realistic because we are humans and in situations where you want to save a friend or a loved one, at that moment, your head isn't really in the right place. A few things that I liked about the characters were how strong portrayed the female lead Se A was and throughout the whole story she didn't need any saving. Though the acting was a bit of a let down, especially at the beginning of the show, it didn't feel convincing enough that these high school students were all friends but it started to improve in the later parts. A character I felt the most lost about was Kang Mi Na I know they pushed out a jealous and hateful side character to make the story more dramatic but I think that with her personality lacking depth it didn't add much to the show but rather just confusion on why Mi Na was obsessed with a boy. The premise of the show could be better because It is a recurring theme with the themes of fighting over a boy and being the heart break of female relationships which, I believe is too redundant and becoming dislikable. Another thing that I saw was people saying the way the curse started was weak. I can understand why people thought it wasn't too much of a strong reason for Do Hye Ryeong to want everyone to die but considering her age and the school environment, I personally felt the reaction was normal. Imagine your best friend who you trust to keep your secret uses your secret against you and makes you the target of all the rumours that aren't even about you? It would make you crumble and feel like you lost all your will there to feel anything.

Overall, the drama was slow at the start but managed to keep the story together.
I don't know much about Korean shamanism but this drama made me more aware of it.
I'd say it's worth it to watch the drama but if you have seen these types of horror shows a lot then I wouldn't recommend if you are too highly critical of shows that have repetitive tropes.
