    You actually have to watch the whole season to understand the big picture!

    It's ridiculous to read reviews of people who only watched 10 minutes of the pilot episode. It's like judging a book after just reading the first page. I thought this was Chinese TV to start with, turns out its south Korean. VERY NICE. Important to get all the details or else you will lose track of whats really happening.

    Enjoy!

    Must watch!!!

    Absolutely well made! It includes comedy, drama, mystery, yellow, paranormal, with a complicated and never banal plot, I laughed, I cried, it became one of my favorite series.

    Loved this story!!!!

    I started watching this series on Netflix when I had a bout of the flu and was bed bound and running out of things to watch. Someone from a horror group I belong to recommended it. I first thought it was Japanese but realized the words I was reading in the subtitles were not matching the limited Japanese I knew. After a bit I realized It was a Korean show. If you don't mind subtitles I highly recommend this show and I really hope it continues.It has it all but, mostly is a crime drama, with action, fantasy, and romance, so really right up there on my genre list. I am sad that there are only a couple episodes left for me to watch and I may not get any more of this show. The acting is great aside from some of the kinda cheesy moments. The writing is superb. I love the story and I want more. I sure hope we get a season 2. I would definitely watch it!!!!

    Push Through Episode 1

    So I almost gave up on this show half-way through episode one. It just felt a bit cheesy and the humor fell flat for me. I didn't particularly care or was interested in the main characters, and I almost decided not to watch this. Then I came on IMDB and saw another reviewer say to push past the first episode - that its pacing and cheesy humor would improve by just the second episode. So I decided to do just that - thank you other reviewer, because this ended up being a powerful, amazing story that I watched until the early morning hours for three days straight. The plot was amazing and took twists and turns I never saw coming. So please, if you are thinking of dropping this show because of the first episode, do push through to episode 2. It really is worth the time!

    Great show...until the last few episodes

    No spoilers here, but the show was really good. complex plot, good amount of romance and action, and twists around every corner. The ending was drawn out too long and a little cheesy, but i can overlook that.
