STORY : Well, I want to say I loved this. I want to. But, I didn't love it. For me this show was "more than okay" but not "great." There was something inconsistent about it that I could never quite put my finger on. But ultimately I figured out it lacked balance. There would be periods of tension and mystery from the law and crime aspect (an aspect I absolutely LOVED) and the supernatural was good, there was an unpredictability to its use in the show that actually added to the watching experience. Law/crime, drama, suspense, supernatural: check, check, check, and check. Final category: Romance. Romance! NO CHECK. Oh how I wish it had been consistent. I found the relationship between Suzy and Lee Jong Suk was okay, but sometimes seemed forced and honestly I enjoyed the moments where they appeared just friends more. There was just a lack of chemistry at times, that majorly impacted my watching. I found I couldn't care less at times; I'm not sure if it because their interactions seemed forced at times or the idea that (for lack of better phrasing) fate is playing such a big part in the show that the romance didn't have the chemistry, challenge and tension that I was hoping for. I also would have liked to have seen a more natural gradual development that allowed for all aspects of the show to coexist rather than going through phases on a cycle that replaced one another. Overall, I enjoyed the story but it had its weak spots and left loose ends.

ACTING : I overall really enjoyed the cast. Lee Jong Suk was very well suited for his role, although it is not too much of a stretch from what he has done in the past. That didn't make me enjoy his performance any less! It just made me think of how I would enjoy seeing him utilized in a more diverse way because the man has skill for sure. As for Suzy, she has come far from Dream High but she still has moments that show she has not acted as much as others and she still has more to learn. Some actions seemed over the top for the scenes at times and other scenes were underdone and had a dead feeling. Acting is hard;  reading a scene and knowing your character well enough to do them and the show justice is hard. I understand that, but with that said her acting does need more work. I think given some more time, roles, or even classes (I don't know how she prepares) she will get better. On another note, Jung Hae In and Lee Sang Yeob stole the show. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed their performances. Both are so capable of reading every scene well, getting into character and staying that way even when he is not the focus of the scene (that was my main issue with Suzy). I will definitely be watching everything I can find with each of them in because I have a feeling Jung Hae In will only get better and Lee Sang Yeob has already proven his solid skill with his long list of roles but also with his ability to give a character such as Lee Yu Beom depth and dimension when he could easily turn into the usual drama trope character. As for the supporting cast, I think everyone was well cast. Every person showed skill and did well in their roles, even the children which surprised me. I expected the kids to maybe not be on par with the adults but I was very wrong and I have a couple kids I hope to see in more things.

MUSIC : The music fit the show but none of it was noteworthy enough for me to download. Pre-production allowed for the use of sound effects which aided some scenes, and BEAUTIFULLY done transitions for credits and scenes. I was caught off guard by that but they were done well enough to catch my attention.

REWATCH : This show benefits from the 30 minute or so episodes. That makes it binge-worthy (if you can stick with it) and it almost feels like it moves faster. However, shorter episodes leaves room for plot holes and loose ends. I think I would have to be bored or craving a certain aspect of the show to rewatch it, but it is rewatchable.

Like always, this is just my opinion and I would love to hear yours. Happy watching! :)
