BRILLIANT SHOW!
Should you? Would you? Could you?
You should watch this one (YES! )
You would recommend this to others. (YES!)
You could watch this again. (Not really as it’s a mystery)
Ending: Satisfactory
This is a South Korean tv series based on the webtoon Amazing Rumor by Jang Yi. There is only one word to describe it and that’s “BRILLIANT”.
While the plot is very interesting (The protagonists running a noodle shop in the day and demon hunting in the night), it’s always the characters who make it come alive.
Everyone has acted brilliantly: the 4 core members (the counters who are the demon hunters), the spirit council, the supporting cast, and the different sets of villains that we encounter. Each counter has a special skill which when coming together as a team, makes a formidable force to reckon with.
In fact, the actors chosen as the evil spirits are just brilliant and lead the show. Lee Hong Nae as Cheong sin is brilliant as the evil spirit. That laughter is so spine-chilling and those eyes...... whew! I liked the fact that they showed a humane side to him at the orphanage but his cruel upbringing is what makes him what he is ultimately. Ok Ja Yeon as the female evil spirit is brilliant too!!!!!!!
SPOILER:
I loved the way the plot changes the game in episode 12 to beat the evil with their own weakness - money and with the concept of divide and rule. This is some good writing here.
While I missed “ Cheong Sin” as the level 3 spirit in the last 3 episodes, Mayor Shin as the evil incarnate is just top-notch.
The character development of So Mun is gradual and portrayed very well - From a soft-hearted person with a disability to a soft-hearted but strong-willed person with a sense of purpose. Even his concern for the Mayor’s son who was a bully to him shows his strength of character. The final episode with So Mun’s reunion with his parents' spirit is very heart rendering.
There is a lot more to this drama. Each character has his or her own journey and I like the way it has been shown while being interwoven within the big plot.
I absolutely loved the background score. It adds so much to the scenes.
There is blood and gore. There are likable characters who get killed. But it's worth seeing this one if you haven’t as yet.
It’s a fast-paced one. Finished it in 3 days. No fast-forwarding in this one. Looking forward to Season 2.
