Made for a Teenage Audience
Already after the first episode, it becomes clear the series is obviously aimed primarily at a teenage audience.
Apparently, there was no real synopsis at all; it seems to me that it was being made up on the fly during filming—otherwise. Compared to a theme like shamanism, one could say that "The Book of Our Destiny" with Ro Woon etc... actually looks like great . At least there was a simple but quite charming plot and a likable main couple—Ro Woon and Cho Bo-a. Here, they cast young, still-rising actors (the guy, yes, has some interesting projects, but he looks thirty, while the girl looks eighteen; the combination is completely unconvincing).
This shamanic storytelling, aimed primarily at teenagers, offers nothing truly worthwhile. Two excellent actresses—Kim Mi-kyung and Chu Ja-hyun—seem to have participated only for the paycheck. On top of that, the school setting is already pretty tiresome. They clearly released this project right after "Hunted Palace" to capture the same “vibes” . From a popularity standpoint, it may have worked, but definitely not for me.
