Worth every minute of your time!

This drama has surprised me sooo much. After watching the first episode which was almost like a movie on its own I was completely hooked. I enjoyed each episode so much that I rewatched certain scenes several times. I haven't seen such great character chemistry in a very long time. They're just perfect together. Sometimes you meet people and you know they're gonna stick with you no matter what and it doesn't matter whether you've only just met them. This is a story of an incredible bond between 3 completely different people whose lives were cruelly marked by supernatural powers in their childhood. Carrying this heavy burden into adulthood, fate brings them together again and they set on a journey to fight the evil which dwells in each of us waiting for the right moment to wake up. This TV series celebrates classic horror themes such as exorcism and shamanism but even though it's meant to be one of the main features it doesn't overpower the initialy subtle line of friendship which only grows stonger and in the end takes over. This aspect gave this series the emotional dimension it needed whithout a need for filler romance which would only ruin the atmosphere. All actors have outdone themselves in portraying their characters. Exorcism spiced up by Korean shamanism was so incredibly interesting that I found myself craving for more Korean lore and traditions knowledge. It spiked my interest and has served as a great tool to flesh out the plot. The music has artfully supported the ambience and is deeply stuck in my mind. Now I just hope I will be able to find it on Spotify ? To conclude this drama will pay you back for your time with more than you expect. Definitely one of my top 5 dramas.
