I watched this alongside the BL series Khemjira the Series, as both share a similar premise involving a shaman saving their soulmate. I’ll avoid making direct comparisons here. The VFX were acceptable, while the SFX were minimal. I’d describe the horror as “goofy scary”—it clearly aims to frighten, but many moments came off as ridiculous in a way that was more funny than scary, even though some scenes still managed to work.

The series relies heavily on the actors’ performances to create tension, since the special effects didn’t fully deliver for me. One unintentionally funny aspect was the way the ghosts behaved, which felt almost zombie-like. I also noticed that many of the scare scenes were shot in first-person perspective, a technique known to heighten tension by making viewers feel like they’re experiencing everything themselves.

The pacing felt rushed, as if the show was eager to jump from one scare to the next. While I paid attention to the storyline, it moved quickly without always giving enough substance in between. Still, the core story itself is strong—I’m a fan of revenge-driven narratives, and the antagonist’s actions felt justified to me. Nothing really convinced me otherwise.

I appreciated the open ending and wouldn’t want a sequel or second season. The conclusion worked for me, and sometimes it’s better to leave things as they are.
