The dynamics between the main characters are really well developed. The show takes its time, and honestly, it’s hard to explain you just have to watch it to get it.

I also really appreciate that the series doesn’t try to force us to feel sorry for Jomkwan. She’s scary and clearly unhinged. And yet...

The slow burn between Boon and Win? I absolutely love it. You can really feel that they’re drawn to each other, but there’s always a monster to kill, so they don’t have time to talk about it. The soulmate concept? I’m obsessed with it.

I feel so bad for Win. She’s such a tortured character nothing goes right in her life. Her mother hates and belittles her just to highlight her older sister. Her father tries to support her, but he can only do so much, and her sister ends up being her emotional anchor.

On the flip side, Boon is cherished and protected by her mother. I really liked this contrast it makes sense and adds depth to both their personalities.

Jomkwan is absolutely a crazy, desperate villain, but I still kind of like her. The series actually managed to make me feel sympathy for her.

You also learn a lot about spirituality through the show the prayers, rituals, the meaning of water, and the importance of monks.

I especially love the past timeline in the series. I don’t know what it is, but it brings something fresh and different to the story.

This was the best final episode I’ve seen in a GL. Usually, I skip the last episodes because you already know how it ends but here, it was a pleasant surprise.

And overall, the acting is really solid. The main trio works so well together.
