It started out well; both on the story and romance ; but its not well paced in the middle and then the ending is even worse ; [spoiler]its a cliffhanger hinting for second season that we never got (just like Vagabond ) [/spoiler]. A goblin level premise that gets half-assed story & production midway and produces an underappreciated show but u still have to watch it!


PROS
-------
- Lee Seung Gi is just gold in this series, I cannot think of anybody else for the role of Son Oh Gong. Same goes for Cha Seung Won (Ma Wang) and Sung Hyuk (General Frost).
- Seung Gi and Seung-won are like brother ; after " Ÿou are all Surrounder " this is second series together and they carry the same bromance from there in this show.
- Soundtrack is Bomb: "Let me out" is a hit, got stuck in my head for weeks, as well as "If You Were Me" and "When I Saw You".
- I loved the fact that supernatural elements, history and human nature are intertwined in the love story: it makes it really special.
- I don't particularly like Oh Yeon Seo, but i loved the first 5 episodes because of the tension between the two leads.- Lee El (Secretary Ma) is one of the most underrated character, IMHO, but I loved her a lot.

CONS
--------
- The graphics are very poor .
- The fights were very average ; if you are going to make a supernatural series make them unbelievable atleast
- The ending it's not that bad, but it's way too predictable: if you're not into open endings, just forget about this drama.
- The leads really become dumb in the end ; for the plots sake.


I think it's fair to say that this drama was good overall: the story is intriguing, well written for the first 10 episodes and it made me curious.If I can say something bad about it, I'd have gone for a shorter version. 20 episodes are too many, since part of the story (especially from episode 14) was just fillers.I'd rather watch 10 very good episodes than 20 just for the sake of carrying it on

I don't think I'd re-watch this, cause it's too painful now (i didn't enjoy the ending) and also because of the dragged out part (13-17), but It was definitely worth my time.
