Excellent acting, but...

This show started out really well. I really liked up to about episode 9 (of 32 half hour episodes). Then, I think the writers went on a vacation, and before leaving, told them to just film episodes repeating episode 9 over and over again, with different clothes and actors. Every episode was the antagonist killing/possessing someone else, and our Scooby gang trying to catch/kill her. It's been a while since I've watch something with so much repetition.

ACTING: Casting was on point and the acting was stellar. Daniel Choi was very controlled and understated as the detective. Park Eun Bin - boy, that woman can act! Kim Won Hae - I love him. He always brings the comedic element to roles, but inevitably is able to wring tears from me. Lee Joo Young - beautiful and smart, great addition to the Scooby gang.

I did really like seeing how the characters met, bonded and began to work together. And the leads had amazing chemistry, which was wonderful to watch, yet sad. I mean, IYKYK. Which brings me to the ending. What the heck!?!?! I'm all for a happy ending (I pretty much insist upon that), but it made no sense! Then to have the big bad show up again after everything they went through just seemed like a cheap ploy, hoping for a season 2.

Actually, if I'd done the smart thing, I would have watched episodes 1-10, skipped to the last episode and watched it. That would have been a good show and would have made the ending make a little more sense as well.
