I know I'm coming into this late but the only reason why I watched this was because of a clip I saw on a different web source between the MML and the guy who played the priest. That was a bad a** fight scene so I set myself to watch the drama. I remember combing through the reviews which were in favor of this drama being a dud which is why I didn't rush to watch it but I was hoping the scene that I watched matched the whole drama.

It did not.

I found myself having several torrette syndrome moments throughout the whole drama itself. I'm glad that all of the series was available but I did have a hard time trying to find the second season.

The first half I thought was going to be great. The MFL had some fighting skills and looked like she could handle her own until she met the MML....then it all went downhill from there. It went from getting rid of lust demons possessing regular human beings to the MFL clinging to the MML and her becoming the very thing I despise in Korean dramas-the love sick clingy female! It turned out to be all about a girl!! I seriously despise dramas like this!! It ruins the whole vibe! In no where in the description did it have romance in it, nowhere!! But here we go. When you have run out of options, romance is the way to go.

The first few episodes in the beginning were great but the second season was too wordy. The bad guy talked entirely too much....I don't understand why writers use this arc. It's like f you don't have any ideas insert a menacing monologue here. There were a lot of menacing monologues let me tell ya!
The priest who was suppose to be bad a** got beat to a bloody pulp. He even got impaled but-you guessed it-recovered so fast and was able to fight...What's worse was that he still got his a** whipped! The MML was weak and the second MML was even worse. Dying his hair grey and only showing one eyeball while trying to talk in a menacing tone...laughable!!!

My favorite character was the grandmother but she was so underused! Grandmas are strong but they made poor granny in this weak as h***.

Again the main plot was to get rid of lust demons but that plot fell flat. The story line fell flat...the fight scenes fell flat...The supposed bad guy fell flat....This drama just didn't do it for me at all. Not to mention the way it ended it might have another series coming up. This time I will go with my instincts and ignore this drama like I should've done in the first place.
