Personally, I don’t think the story got all that interesting until we got fully into the lore of the evil spirit and how we got to this point. They did the unraveling of the mystery of who the spirit was pretty well. I also appreciated how they highlighted that you can be a victim and not be a good person.

Once we hit the ep.9 mark and everybody stopped acting like they were working on a secret side project and started working together, it picked up a little.

The drama also started some side stories that they didn’t conclude properly and for the most part, its purpose was to remind us of the drama’s main messaging(which it already wouldn’t let us forget)-that human nature is a greater evil than those creatures could ever be and as such, ghosts can only be as bad as the desires of the host they’re latched onto.

The scariest part of this drama for me were the eyes. The shaman lady’s eyes sent shivers down my spine every time I saw her. Kim Tae Ri did a really good job of showing that sort of insidious mirth in her eyes that made me want to look away. The young grandma as she looked through a child and saw only wealth. The look of glee in eyes that should not be filled with glee, filled me with dread.

Everything else(fear wise) could be attributed to good scoring. They did a good job with the music choice and pacing cause you know a thriller/horror is only as good as it’s scoring-the music tells you when to be scared and Revenant didn’t miss a beat (no pun intended)

Overall, it was a good watch. I can’t hype up Kim Tae Ri’s acting in this enough but she brought it🔥
