When a woman who can see spirits binds an immortal being for protection, does their story play out as they both expected?
This drama contains quite a few significant characters. Right from our main lead who is a woman and has the ability to see spirits, to an immortal being who is so diabolical that at times it is hard to detect if he is good or bad, to an adorable zombie, this drama packs a lot of variety in one dose.
Personally, I enjoyed the drama. In the beginning, it was the idea of a love story between a mortal and an immortal which was intriguing to me. However, as I started watching this drama, I realized that this drama didn’t show love in the way we are used to. It shows love in a way that sometimes happens in real life. Often, we fall for people who we never thought were the ones for us. The same thing is reflected in this drama as well. What starts off as a tale of a woman binding a cunning immortal to her so that he can protect her, spears off into a story of intrigue and mystery, as the very immortal who is supposed to protect her, tricks her and vanishes. How they end up finding each other again to how they reluctantly start working together and eventually fall in love is a story worth watching! Overall, it’s a good watch!
Story Line: 9.4/10
The originality of the plot: The plot is super original and it’s a good story.
Acting of main protagonists: The chemistry between the leads was debatable in the beginning for me, but as the episodes rolled out, it improved significantly. It’s a drama worth watching.
Ending: It’s an open ending. There could definitely be another season for this. However, I don’t think another season is in the works as of yet. So, watch it if you like a good story, but don’t expect all the things to be answered in this season itself!
