This is my first supernatural period drama. The plot isn't inviting, but the execution is very engaging for a melodrama. Slow paced, hence, fits the melodramatic approach. The religious belief/concepts helps with the build-up. The musical scoring makes moments more sentimental. The acting is perfect, not too much and no off scenes. The ending's good but it didn't help my heavy heart after completing the series.
I am more drawn to upbeat kdramas. Aesthetically maximized ones too like Empress Ki. But this definitely enchanted me with its leads and uniqueness.
Overall, this type is something I'd watch if I'm not looking for or expecting anything in particular and have lots of free time. And if you're really feeling it (the religious drama stuff, twists and all), you'd be engaged midway that the end won't be that acceptable.

I'm not a fan of action kdramas. I'm a romcom junkie but it wasn't hard to fall for the depth of the plot, turn outs, music, cast and the acting (action/fight scenes). The music amplifies every highlight. Simply superb LJK drama! Iljimae just showed Joon Gi oppa's versatility! There were just too many things going on and so little romance.

*This had the spellbinding build-up and leads. Then drags a bit and ends funny.
Worth the watch.
I was easily drawn by the pretty leads and perky acting. Then completely engaged when it went more dramatic with good action scenes. It drags at the latter part when it should've ended gracefully. Now I understand why some were referring to this as "Iljimae-ish".
I'll watch it again maybe next year, or when I miss Joon Gi oppa.
