Great for a binge~
I was actually whining about a modern day horror flick being absent from the Kdrama world as of late. My fav genre is all about the zombies. 🤩While this one was was a historical one, it managed to hit all the right places~
And it wouldn't be a Korean historical unless it was about the king..........it had ALL the makings of what you'd normally expect because these are WAY to predictable.
Plots against the throne. Faction vs faction. Heir replacements. Bad king. Bad QD. Bad sons and princes and ostracized royal members. Public hate for shamanism while employing it in secret. Cover ups. Useless murders and tormented palace staff taking falls........the supernatural horror is what makes this good though and it was used well. None of these scenes were lacking in visuals and makeup. Cast knocked it out of the park. And despite being able to forecast the plot somewhat, there were a couple of good twists that had me reeling in surprise and shock~
This a solid watch and it a nice return for the ML. It looked like a door was being left open for a 2nd run, if so I'll be there to watch for sure~
