can you tell me how the novel will end as I read some comments and it seems it has sad ending?

Finally, a great crime drama that will draw you into the story from the first moment. I love the storytelling and how, with each episode, we get closer to the truth of who the villain is and the reasons behind it. Also, the dynamic between the leads is fantastic. I like how their relationship develops throughout the show.

The production, cinematography, and acting are amazing. I hope to see Kim Dan Min in more projects, as all her dramas are great.

It is a drama that will keep you hooked the whole time. I tried to guess who the killer was until the end… I love that they did not make it obvious, as in most dramas you know after a few episodes. Also, the suspense was great, as you never knew what was going to happen next. Oh, and the last scene made me smile. I hope we get a second season.

The drama stays true to its title till the end. The fighting scenes were amazing, as was the acting, especially Young Woo and Gong Myung, who were my favorites. It's easy to binge-watch the drama as the episodes are very short.
To be honest, it did not leave much of an impact on me, as I did not care about the characters. They could have told the story better, so you could feel for the characters, as they did with *The Worst of Evil*, which I loved. It's a shame, as it was promising but didn't deliver, except for the great fight scenes. Also, it was refreshing to see a revenge featuring adults drama and not a high school theme. Not that I don't like those, but they are missing, as there aren't many dramas like this.
Overall, a good revenge action drama, but will not remember in a few day.

Yep, i think that was the best part of the drama the chemistry and acting.

Yes, her performance was not as memorable as the Imugi or the King, as per your comment that summarized her character pretty well. I really liked her in the Pyramid game. Maybe I did not feel a strong connection with the FL because I am used to watching historical dramas with strong female characters that stand out.

Unique story that will drawn you in and won't let go. I was hooked from the beginning and could not stop watching it. Even though it has 16 episodes, I did not mind as I was not bored for a second.

I loved the beginning; it is so fun to watch Gang Cheol and Yeo Ri interact. The best part is how Sung Jae portrayed Imugi, as it is so refreshing and really brings the character to life. He is my favorite character, and I love his acting. I liked seeing how the male and female leads' romance slowly grew. And I like that the romance is not the center of the story.
Also, the relationship between Imugi and the King was great; I love their dynamic. Ji Hoon's acting is amazing; he portrayed the King perfectly.

It has a great balance of horror/thriller/romance, and I like how they became a great team to fight the spirits and corrupted magistrates. The only negative is that I expected much more from the final battle. Also, I don't know why, but the female lead did not suit the drama; I just could not feel it, and her performance was not as great as Imugi's and the King's. Apart from that, it is a great drama with a unique storyline and great performances, and also it has a satisfying ending even it felt it was rushed.

Me too. I watched eight episodes, then waited for the rest to be released. After a few weeks, I started watching it again, but I felt no emotions and everything felt strange. Yes, it felt like there was no proper build-up for the characters to be together...it just happened.

Wow, it was so bad that I could not pass episode 6 and skipped to the last episode. The ending made me laugh...not in a good way. I am glad I did not force myself to watch the whole drama, as the storyline is so bad and the characters act so stupid. The concept was good, but the execution was terrible. Don't waste your time.

For me I loved My stand-in that has much lower ratings than this series and I was more engaged with the characters and loved the storyline.

I love Way Back love and you are right it needs more recognition. It's always shame that some dramas that are not even good are more popular just because they have famous/handsome actors in it.
Anyway I really like Season of blossom 😊 Even it is not on the same level as WBL it's still beautiful watch that will make you cry.

I liked the story and development of their relationship, but toward the end, I had to start skipping scenes as it got a little boring. Their chemistry was great, though. I think all the problems were sorted too fast toward the end. To be honest, I think the drama is overrated.

Beautiful story of O Ae Sun and Gwan Sik, who love each other dearly and do everything for their family. The cinematography and acting are amazing.

The storytelling is awesome, and I love how they managed to switch between the past and present storylines. It is perfect. It is so hard to watch as their life was/is so hard, and all the hardships they endure. Even with sixteen long episodes, it is easy to watch, and you do not get bored. I was hooked from the beginning and could not stop watching it. To be honest, I did not like IU's character at the beginning at all; she was screaming and hysterically crying all the time. I am glad I stuck with it as it is a great drama, but be prepared as it is not a typical fairytale but a realistic portrayal family's hardships.
I think I need to watch something light and happy now.

I love this drama as it made me feel emotion from the first episode. I like how they switch from the past to the present. It is a very emotional story about love, guilt, and friendship. From the beginning, you know it is a sad story, but you will still cry your eyes out. I love Seo Ji Hoon's acting. He was also great in *Begins Youth*. I wish to see him in more dramas.

What will hit hard is the fact that it is very realistic and how people who are left behind are, or have to deal with, guilt. I like how we are getting slowly to know Ha Min and So Mang's relationship, even if it makes it more painful. Their interactions were my favorite part of the drama. It is sad to see how parents push their children to the limit and do not think about the consequences until it is too late.

This drama will stay with me for a long time.

This drama is similar to *Way Back Love*.

I agree with you. It was nice break from the usual dramas. I just missed the connection to the characters that I usually develope.

I was expecting much more from it, as I was looking forward to this drama. The storyline is great, but the production and editing are not good. It would be much better if they made a proper drama, as it's basically a movie split into six episodes. So we could have proper storytelling that takes time, so you can feel for the characters instead of jumping from one scene to another.
The villain was my favorite character, as Hyun Wook portrayed him perfectly. I did not bond with the characters as it was chaotic, rushed, and all over the place.
Now I'm really upset, as the actors did a great job, but the execution is not there.
If they make a season three, I hope this time they will do it properly.

I think it's time to rematch Alchemy of soul 🥰

I bridged the drama over two days as I could not stop watching it. The cinematography and acting are amazing. To be honest, Jae Wook was born to play i daesang; it suits him perfectly. I love the storyline and how slowly we are getting to the truth. Not a single episode was boring. The chemistry between the leads is awesome! I love the bond Jae I and Hong Rang had. Their eyes speak for themselves. The fighting scenes were great as well. It was a real surprise to see the real villain, as he had my blood boiling every time he appeared. I will not say more to avoid spoilers.

The OST is great, so fitting to the drama. It is not a typical drama; it is dark, and with each episode, there is more suffering, but it is a beautiful story of two people who try to protect each other. The last episode was very emotional.

I was so looking forward to this drama as I was so excited after reading such positive comments and the rating was high. After the first few episodes, I was like, okaaay… I kept watching but caught myself not really focusing on the drama, and instead, I ended up here to check the comments again.
I found the drama so boring. The story is interesting but badly executed. I liked how realistic it was as a story of normal people. Also, the production is nothing special. The constant flashbacks were so annoying as well. As it has 16 long episodes, I dropped the drama at episode 6.
It's a shame, as I really liked Gang Du's character, who was cold and savvy but had a good heart. For me the drama is overrated.

Good thriller with a good storyline. My favorite character was Detective Seong Jun. The female lead was quite annoying; toward the end, I could not stand her. The atmosphere is great, so it's a shame the drama is not quite there. To be honest, I did not expect the plot twist and was surprised, as usually, you can guess who the killer is. It's a nice watch, and it's only six episodes. If it were better written, it could have been a great thriller.

The first few episodes were great; I was very excited about the drama, and I loved the storyline. As time passed, I lost focus and was not drawn to the drama, and I did not care about the characters. The episodes were especially long and started to drag, and I was getting bored. I think if they had taken a different direction, it would have been more interesting. The storyline was getting weaker, and each episode felt never-ending.

The production is great, as is the acting. especially Jin Goo did an amazing job portraying both characters. I really tried to keep watching it but gave up at episode 9 as I did not have the will to watch the remaining 8 episodes.

To be honest, it cannot compare to *Red Sleeve*, which was amazing. It has the same length, but I was so invested in the story and felt for the characters. The same actress appears in both dramas, but she did not leave any impression on me in this one.
