a borderline guilty pleasure type of show
borderline bc while there's an obvious sizzling chemistry between the leads, the show doesn't really go all in on it. instead, it focuses on occultism in the first few eps, then suddenly family drama, then whatever that is you call a plot. expect many plot conveniences towards the ending. it ends well tho, happily. everyone is redeemed — or dead.my only complaint is their major plot convenience: park seungjae. the way they keep reminding us that he exists and using him for critical points but don't bother giving him more layers. he's showing up so much but remains one-dimensional. it's just sad bc the actor is so great.
but all in all, this is very watchable and enjoyable if you're focusing on the acting and just want something with a happy ending. i really like the fl and ml, and their romance moves pretty fast, which i actually enjoyed. i'd definitely come back just to watch their romance again. i actually discovered yang sejong through this drama too, so that's another win for me.
the ost is also great, and i'm thinking that'll contribute to a high rewatch value. i didn't feel bad after watching the finale. it's just that the moment i randomly turned on my brain, it was kinda sad. every hole was tied up at the end, conveniently, but i'd argue that casual drama viewers would still love it.
