It's actually a common trope...the irony of someone becoming the man that they hated (in this case lawyer Moon). There are plenty of plots out there with negative character development, especially in this genre. I predicted this would happen as well. The title Evilive was a giveaway. It's a palindrome that looks like the word "evil" is mirrored and is depicted as a reflection on the poster. Maybe I just read too much into it. Either way, this drama falls under neo noir category and I was not surprised to see common tropes from this genre.

This is what threw me off too. They were using flip phones, but then I randomly saw a samsung galaxy phone that looked like the GS3. I was like what time period are we supposed to be in??

They care for each other deeply and it's on the borderline of friends or something more. While they are not officially together in the end, they leave space open for a season 2 and continuation of the story. The drama has a complete ending though. I guess their relationship by the end can be best described as "some".

Technically both. They're more endgame, but it's not a romance.

Thanks, I'll go back and take a look. I can't recall the dubbing off the top of my head. I didn't add this drama in, but it was upvoted a lot...maybe cuz FL's voice wasn't?

It is your classic political drama complete with corruption and conspiracy. The supernatural part of this drama has been done plenty of times before, but at the end of the day, this political thriller kept me entertained.

The latest guilty pleasure romance set as a period revenge drama. Lots of steamy kisses and great chemistry. The revenge is satisfying. FL is not afraid to get her hands dirty. The main annoying thing is that there were a lot of flashbacks.

Yes, all that is the same. The main thing they excluded was the goddaughter storyline.

If only it wasn't so draggy.

When the subtitle said "the rat's feathers" in episode 1 😂 I was like, am I losing it? Rats have feathers?? Maybe in this supernatural world then...but they were actually referring to fur. 🤦‍♀️

Yeah, i hated that they glossed over that fact. And then they were watching the video of FL getting bullied by the spoiled brat and had the nerve to say she was terrible.

No, I couldn't stand them either. I wanted to skip almost all of them.

If you still need an explanation, this guide is pretty helpful.

The cast tho. 🤩

Low budget minidrama that's a guilty pleasure romance. ML is a walking red flag (or is he?). It's an angsty supernatural romance with a toxic ML. I think it is pretty decent if you know what you signed up for. It took me a few episodes to get into it, but i enjoyed it.

It's not the best supernatural mystery drama out there, but it was exactly what I was in the mood for. ML is just a carefree, likable dude that genuinely cares about people. FL might be annoying for the first few episodes, but she becomes likable after that. I would say this drama isn't too intense, but it gets more serious in the 2nd half. It's just a nice mixture of heartwarming and funny, but also dark and serious. On another note, the OST is pretty good. I also really liked the green makeup approach they used for the ghosts...it was semi creepy and different.

It's basically daily airing soap opera trash disguised as a weekend family drama. I have lower standards for weekend family makjangs, but this was more on the level of the daily airing shows. It had a very strong start with so much potential. In the beginning, ML and FL first meet as kids and eventually become friends as a North Korean and South Korean. This concept and childhood arc was so unique. The drama also touches on the difficulties defectors face in South Korea, such as discrimination and being targets for scammers. On the downside, the villains were ridiculously shameless, too shameless in my opinion. The moms were also too much. It used its fair share of trashy makjang tropes. I will give them credit for avoiding cancer and dementia (though there's a bit of amnesia). They also had some diagnoses that were rare for makjangs, which was refreshing. This drama was an emotional roller coaster, but not in a good way. It made my blood boil, increased my blood pressure, and possibly induced a lot of stress.

He was a legend. Rest in Peace.

This is one of those guilty pleasure low budget minidramas. It's pretty makjang, but it serves its purpose as entertainment, especially with the romance. FL is very weak in the beginning and it can get frustrating, but you have to remember that she's new to the whole being blind thing so you have to be patient. As for the ML, it's an odd case of oppa actually CAN act. Poor Dai Gao Zheng is dangled like a piece of meat in this drama. This is the most amount of shirtless scenes I've seen him in yet. Here's hoping he'll land himself a main role in a more "serious" drama with big budget production. Until then, I'm sure fans will continue to enjoy seeing him and his abs as eye candy in these minidramas.

A very average plot that seemed to have come straight out of daily airing korean soap, except the main two leads can really kiss. :P There may be one or two non cliche things, which I will not mention (check for triggers). The ending felt very unfinished.
