My brain activated my fingers and selected this Cdrama by mistake. Had a pick at the first 10 minutes or so of that story and had a shock...couldn't stop watching. Hope viewers will activate the spoiler tag because it will be a roller coaster.
Should you be interested I found this. Looking for details in regards to the music composer. Would feed you all more with whatever I find. But as for now :
I keep up watching it...I'm stubborn. The dead corpses are too much to stomach...but I'm still sitted and watching an episode at a time for the last months. Won't watch 2nd season although this part is well acted, directed with good cinematography.
The camera is playing tricks on me with amazing takes. Details of the sound track are lost without headphones. This 7th episode looks like the calm before the storm...the ex better behave.
This review is written to be as spoiler-free as possible, but with enough starting background so people can go…
Your first paragraph. I am aware that exorcism didn't exist in Western states. African and Latino exorcism/vodooism were demonized by the Western Church for monetary, colonialism, ethnic-cleansing reasons. Although it is still used in Soudan for example for the reasons you must be aware of. What has to be kept in mind is that vodooism in their origin countries were used by native healers/mediums and not considered as evil. There are chants and dances immortalising this type of healing/trances. Nowadays black magic is used in a couple of Western countries. I won't walk on this path as it is a delicate subject.
Thank you for your intel. I have lots to read for work. But I shall take the time to go through your research.
BTW: I am on the 5th episode of this drama. I love that he is so pragmatic for now. It's a self-preservation emotion as he seems to have a painful history. At the 4th episode she is already showing her sense of protection towards him...like a big sister.

First of all, I feel shy and together blessed reading your meticulous answer. Second I didn't watch Love Beyond The Grave and I will not as to my artistic preferences, good as these leads can be, their respective vibe don't translate fantasy scripts style. Then, as I said, I shall rewatch You Have My Heart although idioms are not at my level of understanding Mandarin. But, I have difficulty to make the bridges between the supporting actors and the leads. Both leads convey deep intentions and I like the direction the script takes me. I shall look into the extra links you have added in your comment.
Watching this story seems more complicated after reading your above review. I dare say that now I have to pause at the 3rd episode and restart anew whithout this review in mind.
Ep 4 with its Brokeback Mountain vibe...lakeshore, tent and its rolling down zipper, campfire, childish playing around...all In The Mood For Love.
Ep 5 with each protagonist's background stories and Lan's dedication. As I can't stand this cliffhanger, I pause for a day or two.
A date to remember june 28, 1969. No need to be gay to send a harm heart in memory of the June 28th 1969 Stonewall riots in Greenwich village, that started the LGBTQ Civil rights mouvement around the World. There are still battles to win around the World also in our own surroundings a step at the time.
