Just an average Demon-Human Lovestory
The story is about a demon falling in love with a human girl. The two are already tied by the past as lovers. Wolsim, which is also Do-hee in the present time died due to Catholicism issue. Catholicism is considered a taboo at that time which lead to her execution. While, Yi-sun on the other hand, is away to take an exam to land on a government post. When he came back he witnessed Wolsim's execution and became enraged. Yi-sun killed all the people he sees in sight after Wolsim takes her last breath in his arms. After all his killings, he also decided to kill himself but a sudden turned of event led him to be back as a demon.
Centuries later, Yi-sun becames Gu-won and lives as a demon, making deals with desperate people by granting them wishes in turn of taking their souls to hell after 10 years. While, Wolsim is reborn as Do-hee who happens to have a big family issues. One timeful event led the tattoo which is the power source of Gu-won to transfer into Do-hee.
To cut the story short they work together to get what they want. Gu-won needs the tattoo back and Do-hee needs Gu-won's protection.
The story was pretty common, I find it quit similar with The Guardian: Goblin's Bride. Though a firmly prefer the later, no question. I just can't help but to notice that both the series have similarities on how the male leads ceased to death by burning away as they fight with the main villain in the story. Another thing is that the parents of the female leads made a deal with the male leads to save the baby female leads. As you know, if you see both the series both male leads fell in love with the child they saved.
All I can say is that, I find the show's progress to slow. In my opinion, it could have end in 12 episodes if unncessary scenes were cut off. For me, the show only got interesting in mid episode 15.
The actors were great but I just think the chemistry of Song Kang and Kim Yoo-Jung lacks the sparks. For the side characters, I personally loved Ga-young's story arc, especially her ending where she was able to repay the grace she received herself when she's a kid. Suk-hoon is just too good to be true as he embodies ungreediness and unselfish love to Do-hee. The office characters did good as they help me occasionally ease my bore as the show unfold. Both the secretaries of the leads were sooo cringe LMAO. Lastly, I commend the actors who played Noh Suk-min and Noh Do-gyeong as they really made me stop for awhile and think who could be the lighter guy among them.
The OSTs were good with superb editing skills for the show's effects. Though, the scene of the gasoline stop shop fire doesn't sit right with me.
I recommend this show if you wanted to watch a fantasy like drama with a demon falling for a human girl. But, if you are looking for a drama that is fast paced with solid storyline, you might have to skip this one. The show was okay but I can say there are alot more dramas with the same concept of this one that's more worth it.
