This review will be more about emotions than the movie itself.
I looked at this drama with different eyes after reading the article in which some statements by actor Kim Ji Hoon were captured.
Although actor Kim Young Kwang only appeared in episode 1 and very briefly in the second episode, I loved his role as Gang Cheol. Despite the fact that he didn't seem like a positive character, I just couldn't see him as bad one. I loved him and I enjoyed every second of the scenes he appeared in.
Gang Cheol's transition into Yun Gap's body, actor Yook Sung Jae did an excellent job. Things have changed along the way and therefore the acting has also changed from the initial one. Gang Cheol became softer, more clumsy, more human.
Gang Cheol lost more and more of his identity as a deity, in front of the human one, which he increasingly adopted. From here, I loved Gang Cheol for his struggle between the desire to be with his loved one and the goal he actually had initially.
The king, portrayed by actor Kim Ji Hoon, I watched closely to feel the actor's efforts, being put in the shoes of a king who had to shoulder the burdens of king, father and husband, responsible for the people, while also being caught up in supernatural chaos.
I watched the efforts he put into the intensity of his voice, to give weight to his emotions. Actually this is due to the article I read, where the actor talked about this.
I liked the king and I adored Kim Ji Hoon.
The actress in the main role, whom I have never seen in a series before (or maybe I just didn't notice her), gives value to the character and dresses it with a lot of wisdom, skill and dedication.
I like Yeo Ri's character because, despite her prejudices, she succumbs to the love that vibrates strongly towards the one she thought she hated and, although at first she is confused, believing that everything is due to the body that the deity is using, she realizes that her feelings are actually for Gang Cheol. I liked this and I'm curious what the ending will be, since I'm on episode 11.
Actor Kim Sang Ho puts on a wonderful performance, with as much vocal effort as the king. Although his role is a supporting character, as a blind fortune-teller, he captured quite a bit of attention through the authenticity he offered to the character, an opportunist, seeking only his own good - to gain power - betraying absolutely everyone.
Although I like historical films, I'm not really into fantasy ones. I've enjoyed this drama so far, although I wouldn't necessarily watch it again, and I hope the ending is a good one.
For the interpretation of the roles, for the respect I have for these actors who work harder than we can imagine, I will rate the film 8,5/10.
EDIT: I saw negative reviews and I really don't know why, because the idea was very good. I really liked the idea that the accumulated grudges of those who died turned them into evil spirits who couldn't leave the earth, and forgiveness set them free. And Yun Gap highlighted this by resisting the resentment that was beginning to accumulate in his soul, saying: "By accumulating resentment, I allowed my heart to become contemptuous." It seemed profound to me.
