Disappointing

If you like a good strong female lead then just watch the first 20 mins of ep1 then leave it at that. The rest is just a slow painful walk towards yet another strong female being walked all over due to "feelings" ( ffs shes been evil as hell for a 1000 years). It makes no sense, its patronising to see yet another korean woman (evil ghost, whatever) ruined by their inability to overcome love just because a guy "looks kinda cute" (1000 year!!!! Plenty of cute guys mustve come across her path!). I know IU isnt everyones favourite but i thought she did well given a terrible script so any points i gave above 0 for this mindless show were for her, male lead just looked a bit weird tbh ( im not into blokes but i can at least tell ugly from good looking and his acting was wooden at best).

Way too good

Wasnt expecting much when i first caught this but my mind was totally blown. A korean film with, and i'll be totally honest, a filthy undertone actually showed these kind of scenes but made them beautifully artistic (sensual and pasionate scenes with the two physically perfect females had my jaw on the floor!! Im a self admitted perv but it wasnt smutty it was just beautiful) . I can honestly say, after my 3rd viewing, that this is the only film with these kind of scenes that ive actually watched from start to finish each time! It thouroughly deserves all it awards and acclaim, a "must see" film that now sits in 2nd just behind my ultimate no1 (and my shameful secret) Mary poppins.

Biased review

Loved it, just simply loved and have watched 4 times already (they wont be the last) . Ive spent the best part of 18 months trawling through kdramas/films, chinese dramas/films for characters and a story like this (i found this gem about 8 months ago). A powerful female not turned into a mans puppett and a demoness (or called that at least). Yeah the body double part does kinda make this show a bit hard to take but she remains at least a bit evil through that. Demons win and the so called rightous side finally bloody lose, whats not to love about this. Lead actress is stunning when dressed up as well.

Finally

At last a kdrama with a tiny bit of romance that didnt make me want to smash my tv!!! An edgy drama with good characters, plot and the slightest bit of romance (rather than the usual absolute smothering of romance that kdramas are ruined by). Female leads didnt get all mushy and destroyed and played a stromg major role in the entire story. And best of all the cute, unlikely romantic winning female, actually got the guy in the end! Its been a long haul through a mountain of absolute dross to finally find this diamond of a series (strong girl Bong Soon at last has someone else on the podium)

Another poorly written kdrama

At least after reading other reviews im not the only one to have a bad impression of this kdrama. Poor girl who takes no s*** of anyone (exept her step mum and sister who treat her like garbage!) Turns into a complete imbecile within the first 2 episodes (despite getting into college). She is frustratingly stupid, suddenly lacks all confidence and becomes as pathetically pissweak as your standard female lead for these kinds of shows. Admittidly im only starting ep5 but i dont hold out much hope for anything dramatically changing given the other reviews. It will most likely be yet another kdrama where i keep skipping through the majority of it and concentrate on the scenes with the, at least slightly, interesting characters only.
