I was promised good Horror and BL-Romance and got neither...
at least the plot and production was good, otherwise I would have dropped this (almost did).
Things I liked:
- Production/Directing/Visual Effects/Costumes: Great, didn't expect the ghosts to be so well made. One of the strongest things about the show for sure.
- Plot: It kept me interested for most of the show (there was a slow middle part though). The first couple of episodes were definitely the strongest.
- Backstories: I liked all of the other backstories/former lives that were shown, I honestly wished they would have given those plots more onscreen time.
- The second couple romance: They were super cute. No comparison to the main couple "shudder". Even though it felt rushed, especially liked the GL plotline.
- The end: Really liked the way it was resolved. Made so much sense and was quite surprising to me.
- The magic: The way they portrayed the magic and shamanism was simply great.
Things I didn't like:
- The "Horror": Aside from episode 1 I wasn't scared a single time. That disappointed me so much, because the show was able to do it in the beginning eps, but then just watered it down. Even the end was a total letdown. That was one of the main reasons I was exited to watch this. Oh well.
- Khem(jira): Oh boy, they did something I have only seen prior in female characters: Useless, passive, crying "damsel in distress" character, feels misogynistic without a single woman involved, wow. The woman were written better.... He was a happy-go-lucky guy without much personality (or backbone), who spends the better time of the show crying and sacrificing himself. I was so angry about this, almost dropped it just because of him. Didn't help that the actor is terrible, sorry.
- The Acting: Besides the main character, the other characters were mid-to-bad usually. The only person I liked was the female ghost actress. Honestly raised the bar all by herself.
- The main couple: Whatever the opposite to good chemistry is, they had it. I'm sorry but I cringed anytime they had a romantic scene. It just didn't work. They had zero build up. It seemed like the only reason they fell in love with each other was because of their former life. Personally felt Peem was a better actor and he was trying to create chemistry with him but the other guy just...didn't.
