![]() I saw that a lot of people found the Ji Na/JooIk/Hyun Gyu story line to be weird. The leads already have a lot of obstacles from the very beginning, and not having to drag them into a love triangle on top of that helped the story move along for me. ![]() Instead the main drama decides to focus the tension on the supernatural bits, and the general transformation of Sa Ram (Seo In Guk). It’s an interesting device in the drama, as it is bulit like as a drama within a drama, and the usually tropes live inside of that secondary story line. In fact, he’s barely a friend - he begrudgingly becomes a friend of Dong Kyung (Park Bo Young) and his story lies in the secondary plot between Hyun Gyu (Kang Tae Oh), and Ji Na (Shin Do Hyun). The person closest in the second lead spot, Lee So Hyuk’s character, is not a love interest in a way.

The drama is by no means my favorite of the year, and I did find there to be faults, but it generally was a great watch. Most of what I saw didn’t look favorable, so I was surprised when I started to watch it and found that I was enjoying it.

I figured at that point I was already in the binge and ended up finishing the rest of the episodes the next day or so. ![]() Their podcast is fairly loose, and that setup would have been fine for me to be able to participate, but when I started the watch one episode became two, then three…and by the time I recorded the episode I was half way through the series. For the podcast I originally had decided to just watch the first episode and then skip to the episode that we were discussing (episode six). I ended up being asked to record an episode with the K-BAE Podcast who have been recapping each episode of the drama.
