    Did I watch the same show?

    I felt compelled to write a review based on the negative comments. I watched this over the course of a day and a half and thought it was very good. Now I understand that not everyone will enjoy the same types of shows but in no sane world is this show a 1-4.

    For the reviewers that only made it through 2-3 episodes you missed the jump in the timeline. For the reviewers complaining about a lack of closure after six episodes, well thats because there will be a second season. It's a cliffhanger pretty standard.

    I would recommend giving it a go. In my opinion it is better than most of what Hollywood has been putting out for years.

    Korean is full of surprises

    There is speciality in K-drama is its always have something that suprised and kind of new .the supernatural part in story is small but reaction of humans in it is amazing , its a must watch series,action scenes are missing otherwise its must watch series.

    HELBOUND 's review

    I personally watched the English dub version .

    Dub quality is decent Acting is good The main thing about this series which makes it likable is its open to INTERPRETATIONS .

    It has many major plot holes which feel kind of irritating while watching .

    People interested around the RELIGION / atheism will enjoy it .

    Series leaves us on a cliffhanger .

    This is too slow but make it to the end, waiting for season 2 now

    I was mostly cold watching it and waiting for it to pick up . I managed to get to the end and i am now very curious to see what happens next. Korean dramas usually have 16 to 20 episodes so I am guessing they did with this one like they did with Kingdom and divide it in two parts. I was expecting more for the first part but I am hoping it will compensate in the second .

    For the rest, the show is well made, great acting ( Yoo Ah-in is just chameleonic in everything he does) . The effects are outstanding, the quality of the series is evident and the concept is very original. It just lacks pace and thrill, most of the time but we will see what happens next.

    Warning: The dubbed version is not correct

    Do not watch the dubbed version, it is very bad and does not follow the Korean version. Watch the subtitles and it's a much better series, with much more emphasis on what it is trying to show.
