I was cautious going into the series based on the reviews, but I also can’t resist a good ghost story either! What I wasn’t expecting was to tear up as much as I did, because there were so many sad moments, some of which I had to pause and come back to. Yun Gap’s mom crying over her son she lost twice nearly broke me!

I understand some of the frustration viewers felt when they thought Yun Gap was the ML, but it was fairly obvious early on that wasn’t the case. His story was tragic, to say the least, but it didn’t feel like a throw-away either. Like other similar shows, the SL sometimes makes a sacrifice for the good of those he cares for.

And yes, sometimes the decisions individual characters made were head scratchers, it stayed true to who they were and what they believed in. Granted, I wish the baddies had gotten far harsher punishments than they did. But I guess the series was about forgiveness instead of revenge, so I guess there’s that.

Finally, what’s up with the deity-possessing-a-human-body typecasting that Yook Sung-jae has seemingly fallen into? But he portrays it well, just as he did in Goblin!

All said, I enjoyed the series. I’m not sure about rewatch value since I know what’s going to happen, but maybe one day I’ll come back around to it.
