A decent long-play drama
First, you need to know that anything over 20 episodes is likely to wear on you before you finish it. The criteria for a long drama like this are different than something that builds and ends in 16 episodes. Less drama, more time for characters to develop - and to be stupid. You also won't get A-list stars, either, so if one of the principles is trying to become a pro singer, he's likely to be pretty mediocre. All that said, there's something nice to have an extended family to visit with every week for a while.I like an occasional long drama. This one is pretty good, although like most of them, it tries to wrap up too much stuff in the last episode. Each of the sisters' story lines deserved an episode to itself, and at least one romance was left totally hanging (poor Aunt and the singer's father!) when they deserved something better. So there were disappointments. But if you like long format dramas, this one is pretty decent, and far better than most.

Making a great drama is simple
All you need to make a hit drama is good writing, great acting, and excellent production values. It helps if the music is good or at least not annoying. This drama ticks all the boxes, so much so that a person like me who fundamentally dislikes action dramas can find this to be the best offering so far this year. I looked forward to every episode and was never disappointed.Yes, the premise is silly, as are all the demon hunter dramas. But the characters were so engaging - even the villains - that it was impossible to avoid getting caught up into who they were, what was happening to them and what they would do next. There were several touching stories about loss and love wrapped up in it, as well as friendship and redemption. It has everything you want in a drama - and maybe more bloodshed and violence, but that goes with the territory. Literally, if you've watched it and know what the territory is! This isn't for the faint of heart, and I'd exercise parental controls over younger kids. But it was a great ride.
