Not the usual Romance K-Drama
I personally didn't have this much fun watching a drama for a long time. It's "kinda" a dark comedy and they really played their cards really well here.I loved both character. Satan aka. Iblis was a mix of goofy & merciless. So weak to his "Master" but he could still ripping out the heart of a living being.
As for Ki Ga Yeong the "Psychopath", while it wasn't really at the character writing level of a "Dexter", they did delivered. Personally I didn't have much expectation. K-Drama & a romance tag with it ? I was sure it would be sugarcoated to the max to make believe she was a true psychopath. But no, they really did stick to her character until the end (again, I expected them to "magically" cure her).
Anyway, if I would nitpick, the editing wasn't exactly to my taste. Sometime scenes just jumped out of nowhere without real link between the previous or next scene. Probably made by choice, but I wasn't fan of it personally.
As for all people "sensitive" about religion and others stuff, don't forget it's made for entertainment and not a documentary that need to be faithful to his original source material. But I'm not really surprised as I watched this drama and see a bunch of reference to religion, I was 100% sure some will take it personally & get offended by it.
I give that a 9.5/10 because like I said, I had a real blast with it but the editing issue didn't make it perfect.

A Captivating Movie
Well, well, well... First of all, the two main actors were fantastic. I don't know their background but I fully believed they were professional dancers. Their emotional scenes were captivating. And the chemistry... Hard to make thing better. 10/10The dance part. Like I said, I'm neophyte so I cannot say anything deep about it. But I can say it was a feast for the eyes. The choreography, the costume, the attitude of the actors themselves. I was rooting for them and was clapping like the audience in the movie. Again 10/10
The cinematography was beautiful & the music completely fit the theme. I was still hoping for something that would surprise me but it was somehow quite classic. 9/10
But something did bother me in the story itself. More specifically about the characters themselves. Sometime I really struggled to understand why they were reacting the way they did. Like I was missing a crucial piece. It could be the format or just me. 8/10
And then the ending... Imagine I was captivated & on cloud nine with their finale. 10 dance of pure happiness... And then they drop me with the end credit. I was literally stun for a minute. Was it been really already 2h ? I really didn't see the time passing... The drop was so sudden that I almost feel withdrawal syndrome. It was that violent. I cannot rate that ending. In one hand, I'm mad and in another, it was perfect. It's really hard to tell how I really feel about it. */10
Overall, I don't regret watching this as I completely enjoyed it. A must watch in my humble opinion. 9.5/10
