Arang and the Magistrate Episode 15

Four Stars

After the great previous episode, we start off with me frustrated and wondering why, oh why, if the Heavens want to use him so much, why won't they give Eun Oh all the information he needs? Why make him go in blind? Isn't that hampering your own cause?

He starts to discover things pretty quickly for himself though. I also thought Moo Yong was stupid for not teaming up with Eun Oh as soon as he found out about the fan. The emperors gave him so many hints, but Moo Yong seems to have lost the ability to think for himself.

The drama is starting to drag. The events are too drawn out, the characters sit around doing nothing and not to mention, Arang has still not resolved her feelings with Eun Oh. This should have been a 16 episode drama, that way all the waiting around, the staring, the silly non-decisions by the characters, may not have happened.

And Joo Wal. All I have to say is poor Joo Wal. I liked him there for a moment. I have to say though, why, oh why is it that the villain is the smartest and most decisive of all the people in the show? I like her because despite being a woman in this time period, she has turned patriarchy on its head. That it takes an evil female to do so says a lot about what society thinks about such women.

At the end, finally, things start to pick up.

She's posessed...How can they take Moo Yeon out of the body? and not damage it?
