This was one of those dramas that I added and removed a couple of times before actually giving it a try. The reviews steered me away and I was nervous about what I was getting into, but I'm honestly glad that I gave this a watch. While I can agree that splitting the show into 2 halves was not a good idea, especially where they broke the season in two at, but other than that I felt that it was a really good watch.
The writing and overall plot reminded me a lot of Goblin and I think that's why I felt a pull towards it. While it's not something new and not seen before, I felt it was written out really well although predictable. There was only one plot twist I didn't see coming, but I was overall satisfied with how the story played out. I do wish we could've gotten more exorcisms and "cases" like Lee Seo-Ryeon. The religious aspects and backstory interested me a ton and I wish that it was explored more throughout the two parts.
Action is not really my thing, but I can appreciate it every now and then. This drama nails it, in my opinion. Watching the fighting scenes, especially with Johan involved were really exciting and I loved the CGI effects in them. It added another aspect to the show that made it look really good.
The acting is incredible and it really adds a layer to the main characters. I absolutely loved all 3 of the leads and they all had captivating performances. Lee Da Hee really nails the rich-girl turned soft-hearted character and has such amazing chemistry with Kim Nam Gil. I loved watching the characters of Van and Won Miho slowly open up to each other and realize their affection for one another.
I'm excited and hopeful for a 3rd season so I can see how these characters and new plots all play out.
