Bored
Boring. While some of the horror elements are genuinely unsettling, the film as a whole fails to keep things engaging. The storytelling is weak, the visual effects range from low to mediocre, and the script lacks impact. Several side plots feel unnecessary and don’t add anything meaningful to the overall story, making the movie feel unfocused and forgettable.Was this review helpful to you?

Watching at midnight was not a good idea
I haven’t felt genuinely scared watching a horror K-drama, or anything in the horror genre, in a while. This one had me reaching for my phone just to watch something wholesome and distract myself. I looked away so many times that I honestly feel like I missed parts of the story.The peak of my interest came during the backstory of the curse, but they kind of lost me afterward. The tension they built dipped when the story returned to the present, and I found that part a teeny bit boring. To be fair, I also feel that the storyline set in the past, along with the actors in those scenes, took the drama to another level. That is not surprising since Kim Si-A is known for being an amazing actress. Her future is extremely bright.
The way they wrapped up the final episode hinted at a possible Season 2, which seems to be the trend these days. If they do make one, I hope we get more of Haetsal’s backstory and learn how she ended up becoming a shaman.
If there ever is a Season 2, will I watch it? Yes! But will I hate that they made one because I know it will give me nightmares? HELL YES!
