Amazing!

This show is just so amazing. From the unique characters, to the interwoven stories, and even the complex politics within. That grey area between good and evil is walked just wnough to really make you wonder who is really on what side. The fight sequences are amazing. The romances are beautiful. Everything just makes it such an immersive experience to draw you in. It is just so beyond phenomenal. I haven't had this much fun watching a drama (Korean or otherwise) in a long time. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new drama to get sucked into.

Unique & Brilliant

Okay so I went into this thinking it might be a bit more silly cuz of the image that showed up for it ? However it was actually a pretty serious story that just had a few silly moments.

So the story is a cop that is a very "man of justice" type can see ghosts and wants to bring justice not just for the living but also the dead. He gets kicked from his main department and transferred to the secretive 9th Precinct. Here he's entered a world where ghosts are the clientele and your job is helping them move on. As the story goes we meet his coworkers, an interesting journalist, and learn of an ancient evil.

Now I know a lot of that seems like typical supernatural cop thriller stuff. I get it. However, I feel like they did it in a pretty unique way that really makes it shine.

The only drawback I have is the mid-credits ending. It leaves the floor open for a possible sequel but I'm unsure if there are talks of one being made. If not, then I feel like they shouldn't have had it in there.

The ending before the credits was perfect and brought the whole story full circle, in my opinion.

Either way I truly recommend people give this a chance because it is really beautiful.

It'll wreck you

I kept getting recommended this movie so I finally sat down and watched it. Now, I don't often give media full marks but holy shiiiiit this was so good.

Zombies:
I'm not really a huge fan of zombie shows or zombie movies. The way they implemented the zombies in this movie though... Definitely worth the watch. The way they used tricks with light and sound to maneuver past the zombies was so well coordinated. Add in the creepiness of these zombies running, climbing, and clamoring across each other for their next bite... well yeah it's definitely nightmare fuel.

Humans:
As always, the human aspect is often more terrifying than the zombies. You know what to expect with zombies. You never know when a human will decide to turn on you. The main group finding ways to push forward together, even with tension between them and a different group. The way the father fought to protect his daughter. The way the husband fought to protect his wife. The teenage friends. The elderly sisters. So many good scenes between characters. Some that are inspiring. Some that will absolutely wreck you. Some that will make you want to rage quit but keep watching because it is 100% worth it all just to reach the ending.

Movie:
I cannot stress enough that this movie is absolutely worth watching all the way through. You HAVE to get to the end. The payoff at the end is beautiful!
