Seriously, the plot is absolutely amazing and creative. I was totally amazed by the world of this drama and the special effects made this drama even more incredible. The mystery of Arang's death, Eun Oh's mother, the possibility of an intense conclusion kept me interested and watching. However, the plot progressed like a sloth. I really think this drama could have ended in 16 episodes instead of 20. Some of the later episodes were shamelessly inserted filler episodes. I hated hoping for something to happen while watching, then realizing at the end of the episode nothing even progressed. I probably will not rewatch this drama because of that. Also, there were a few minor confusing parts, so if you watch this drama pay close attention to everything so you don't have to rewatch certain scenes to get information you missed... like me. My absolute favorite aspect of this drama as the music. Goodness, the music in this drama was extremely appropriate for all the scenes. Creepy, chilling instrumentals gave me goosebumps during intense and scary scenes and sweet serenading vocals evoked tears during the emotional scenes. The actors and actresses were acceptable. Lee Jun Ki and Shin Min Ah had tons of chemistry as Eun Oh and Arang. Neither Eun Oh nor Arang never were annoying lead characters, like so many other lead characters in other dramas. Other characters I would have cast younger or less creepy looking; however, I set their looks aside after seeing their acting skills. Overall I think "Arang and The Magistrate" was a good drama. There was comedy, mystery, romance, action and much more. It was not perfect drama and it irritated me sometimes, but I enjoyed it.
