This drama I picked up and dropped I think around 3 times before I actually sat down and was able to fully get into it. Honestly, once you skip past all the fraud stuff in the beginning and get to the main plot is when I got interested. The background he has with making money in the fraud business really holds nothing during the entire show, it's just there for the first episode to establish his character and never mentioned again.

The village and all the people living in it are really what got me hooked. Once he realized he could save these people, it just kept going up from there. I loved the relationships and bonds that they built within the village and also between the two ML's. Their relationship was so sweet and it really warmed my heart the way he had Wook and Jong-Ah to help him out and be around when needed. Pan-Seok's backstory and whole character is amazing and I felt so awful for him the entire time. I think that was one downfall is that he never really got any closure like Wook was given. It really broke my heart.

The plot twists that do happen are small and not really gasp/jaw dropping, but they still were really nice with adding to the plot. The main storyline doesn't start until around the middle or at least when it all starts unraveling and overall it was pretty good. There were a few things that were unnecessary or a few things that we could've done without, but it didn't take away from the show any. At some times, it felt like so much was going on at once it was hard to keep track, but they do a great job of getting back onto the main plot.

Supernatural dramas have become a quick favorite of mine and this one does a great job with the overall effects of the spirits and when they leave the Village. I wish we could've gotten a more in-depth answer of where they go after honestly. It felt a little uncomplete every time someone passed on since we never really got the goodbye of seeing where they went. Which I guess is part of the main theme of the drama, which is moving on and coping with the grief we have of our loved ones leaving us.
