I cannot explain just how good this drama is, i finished it yesterday and just had to come review it. Everything from the plot, to the cast to the music is absolute perfection in my opinion. Not only did this drama manage to combine comedy, action, mystery and thriller, it did so without making it feel rushed or incomplete.
I have to first applaud the acting here: I've always loved seeing Yeom Hyeran in supporting roles before and her being a main role here made me so happy and after watching it all i can safely say there is no better to play Choo Maeok. She really brings out this character to the best it can be and really portrays how strong Choo Maeok is, especially in front of her squad. Do Hana was probably one of my favourite characters on the show alongside a few others and Sejeong's performance was top-notch here. She conveyed how complex Hana's emotions are whilst showing how collected and calm she is on the outside. Jo Byunggyu playing So Mun is all i ever wanted because he really brings the character to life, and i'd be lying if i said the crying scenes didn't make me cry as well. Ga Motak is quite literally the epitome of strength, both physically and mentally and the bond between Motak and So Mun is so heartwarming. The Counters are amazing but i think the evil spirits deserve all the recognition too, especially Baek Hyanghee who i loved, perhaps even more than the main evil spirit Ji Chungsin.
The action scenes keep you at the edge of your seat whilst the scenes between So Mun and his friends and the dynamic between the Counters make you laugh and that is the best part about the drama.
The story is so well thought out that you can't really fault it and i love how the drama doesn't just show Chungsin as a 2D evil character but shows his story and makes him much more interesting.
All in all, i recommend everyone to watch it, you won't regret it!! And i'm so happy that season 2 is coming!!
