Great potential ruined by terrible writing

Update after the ep. 11.
All I can say is that this is such a terribly written show. Plots are all over the place. Like I said before, story gets made up as the show continues on. The fight scene between two Bulgasals at the well was so ridiculous and it proves my point. There were some cringey dialogues leading up to the fight which was expected and I actually liked the way Hwal tricked Eul-Tae so he could stab him in the chest to disable him. AND THEN!!! As Eul-Tae is basically crawling away, Hwal just stood there watching him instead of putting him in the well. He just stands there and the next scene somehow takes place way outside the enclosure. Let me remind you that Eul-Tae was basically disabled and crawling at that point. Sure enough, Eul-Tae gets away with a new revelation about their past that’s more convoluted than before. Infuriating!

Also, it’s like the show forgot that Si-Ho was Hwal’s wife and Hwal had feelings for her earlier. Maybe something else will come out of it but not likely since they’re pushing the romance between ML and FL. And why the hell are they pushing this romance?!?! It makes no freaking sense. The only thing that came out of it was the weird relationship between Si-Ho and Do-yun. Is it mother- son attachment? Bro-sis? There’s a weird tension there that seems inappropriate considering their past lives. Maybe that’s why they made her “pregnant”.

I was hoping the show will get better but it’s going the other way.

Original review after ep. 5.
I love Asian ghost/monster hunt genre so I was intrigued and excited. The first couple of episodes were pretty decent but between terrible and robotic dialogues and clumsy way the plot progressed, I started to get concerned.

Once the story fast forwarded to the present, the concern became real. The twist about the twin souls was pretty good at first but it was basically just a convenient plot device. In fact, to me, most of settings and characters seemed to have been made up along the way when the writer ran into any logical deadlocks. I’m not sure if the writer put a lot of thoughts into characters’ conversations and how people would react in certain situations and what impact those actions/reactions would have later. As if whatever sounded good at the time was just written without much thoughts and some other plot device was invented to cover up the logic gap later. Well, you get the point.

What my wife said about the show perfectly sums it up. She said “this show depends too much on people’s stupid actions to move the story forward, especially, the female lead.” I’m really hoping it will get better so I can give it a better score.
