I loved it, I heard about this drama a long time ago and I thought it had been cancelled, now I understand that the premiere was delayed due to the good edition it has. The main actors fit perfectly with the description of their characters. Honestly y, The priest became my favorite character from the first episode, it's funny but dark at the same time.

I have read the story and the development is going well, the exorcism scene... Guys I didn't expect it in that incredible way

I have to wait a week for two more chapters, It would be great if they shortened the days, the wait makes me nervous.

Starts out well with a supernatural vibe and refreshingly, doesn't take itself too seriously, until you get to episode three, that is.

Really this preachy, lecturing, woke nonsense, needs to be put back in its box. The enjoyable, adventurous atmosphere, established so well early on, is replaced a disturbing one associated with domestic violence. Yes, its a problem but people come to entertainment like this to escape life's often sad realities, not have them thrust in their faces.

I would have rated this series highly if it had stuck its core plot but no such luck.

In summary, could have been excellent had it stuck to the plan and avoided being used as a platform, to peddle lecturing woke messaging. My advice, give this one a miss. If you are anything like me, you will only end up irritated and disappointed.

3/10

The drama kicked off with good modern visuals and an interesting fantasy setting on a mystical island. However, it quickly unraveled. The fantasy elements, though visually appealing, peaked in the first two episodes, while the remainder felt like a rehash of what we'd already seen. It's strange that they revealed all their cards in the beginning, leaving the rest feeling empty. The female lead was sent to the island to work as a teacher, but this plotline was completely irrelevant and didn't last for more than one episode. The direction the drama took with the fantasy story turned out to be quite disappointing afterwards. More on characters, the female lead was an unstoppable cringe generator with her non-serious interactions, especially with the male lead in the earlier parts. It was the writers way trying desperately to build chemistry between the two, but it was impossible without rewriting the characters themselves. However, the character that suffered the most from both the writers' curse and the cast choice was Goong Tan. It doesn't take a blind man to see what was wrong. The drama ended up being this shallow shipwreck of recycled ideas and bland characters.

You've reached the end.
