Definitely a binge watch drama here ;)
"Welcome to my world" as Doo Shim whispers in Woo Soo's ear.
That alone should be the punchline of this epic and yet sadly underrated drama.
I was expecting longer episodes, the minute I've heard these two would be in a drama together. Quite the prodigies in acting, both Kim Sae Ron and Nam Da Reum, are a powerful duo on the screen here. Their chemistry and team work are praise worthy, by the way they embody their roles.
The daughter of a lineage of Shamans and the Top student of a wealthy family are an odd combination. That and the whole prejudice against the Top model student being best friends with the last row student. Yoon Jung Hoon is also doing a great job at playing Il Nam, the best friend and quite impulsive character.
It's a struggle to follow this drama, when it only delivers one episode per week of less than 20 minutes...
The pros of that is that on production wise it's well made, from the effects to the cinematography and to how they can fit this storyline in such a short amount of time per episode, is indeed a genius move. It leaves us all engaged and yearning for more.
Every single interaction between the two main leads, Doo Shim and Woo Soo is endearing and quite magical to say the very least. They are making the whole show come to life with their acting skills, which is ironic given this is a spiritual concept story.
And while on that remark the most adorable spirit out there it has to be our Hyun Soo played by Yoon Sun Ho. I really do feel like Doo Shim should treat him better, given the amount of time he had been around her in the first place, but her personality is colder than any ghost around here...
It has a good plot and premisse, and although the episodes are too short for our liking they still deliver well and sometimes end in a cliffhanger to tempt us more. Because we do not suffer enough with the whole wait :') for those of you who will binge watch this later on... I congratulate you. You all have better resistance for waiting unlike me, so you will not suffer like this.
"Close your eyes. What do you see? You can't see anything, right? That's your future--"
"You. I can see you when I close my eyes. No. I can only see you. Are you my future?"
The drama is symbolic and it has its fair share of meaningful lines. Had not to love the characters or the whole vibe it delivers. What I like the most is that both main leads are learning with one another, while experiencing the same "world" their views are way different, while Do Shim has become pessimistic and reserved when it comes to her unique ability and lineage. Woo Soo despite scared of the unknown, eventually learns of ways to cope and work with his skill too. They are both special individuals.
[I had forgotten that, I have to deal with more than just evil spirits.]
[I had forgotten that there's someone on my side.]
If we could compare the two, they could be like the Yin Yang. They are compatible while having two sides within them.
I bet the second season will have the evil principal showing up to torment more kids and take avenge on Doo Shim and Woo Soo, still let's see where it will lead.
Highly recommend this mini drama, the OST is quite nice too.
The high quality of the episodes is good enough for the budget they have to work around with.
Definitely a good binge watch show when it is finished that's for sure.
