There are very few historicals that start out strong and still manage to maintain the momentum until the end; this show is one of those exceptions!

The show’s success could be attributed to the main lead’s, their chemistry and camaraderie shines through the first episode and it only gets better with time. I’m a huge fan of Yook Sung Jae, but he mostly prefers taking on serious roles. His Gang Cheol is a far cry from any of the characters he has played before. Being an immortal deity, he is arrogant, insolent and obeys no one; not even the King, because clearly he believes that his position is higher than that of the King. Frankly, I think their friendship was one of the main highlights in this show. The King who is aggrieved because of a haunting presence in the Palace and the fallen deity who is anything but malevolent. Apart from the subtle romance between Gang Cheol and his dear disciple, Yeo Ri; his budding friendship with the King was delightful.
