Shaen A @Slarm Jan 31 This was extremely enjoying. A Rollercoaster story filled with twists and turns yet touching and funny at times. Definitely worth the time. Can't believe never given any awards. See more rashid w @RW2021 02/20/2021 The show has a some average and amazing moments. The end is ultimately unsatisfying but the journey getting is ok. The last 2 episodes has some great pay offs offset by the last 5-10 mins. If you need to read up or look at what or why it means the show has not delivered a solid ending. The last couple of minutes take it from a 90 to a 75 overall a out of 100! See more 10/10/2020 There are hundreds of inconsistencies. And the ending was majorly shit. Inconsistencies: [MAJOR SPOILER ALERT] The main female protagonist (Ha-ram) has the ability to see shadows, which we find out are Grim reapers. If a Grim reaper possesses a human body, Ha-ram can see the shadow inside their bodies rather than on the outside. However, if the person is wearing black attire, Ha-ram won't be able to see any shadows. There was one scene however, where a criminal was wearing a white top on the inside of a black leather jacket, and she was able to spot the shadow from the front because of the white shirt underneath. However, when male protagonist (Han Moo Gang) was also wearing white on the inside, Ha-ram couldn't see the shadow??? There was also a scene near the start where Han Moo Gang was wearing a white hospital gown, and Ha-ram ALSO could not see his shadow??? A scene towards the end, a flashback of the Han Moo Gang was shot by a gun. At the time, there was a detective with him and saw him got shot. The detective ran to see who shot him, and saw his young daughter lying on the floor with the gun about 5meters away from where the Han Moo Gang got shot. However, apparently the detective just disappeared, and they never explained why he didn't follow the Han Moo Gang, who apparently just slowly walked away??? They also never explained why Ha-ram can see her dad's shadow, when her dad is in fact possessed by a grim reaper. So is a Grim reaper here to collect the soul of a another grim reaper??? Major plot hole. There was another side character, Leo. Who was also possessed by a Grim reaper. He was almost never wearing black. And apparently Ha-ram never saw his shadow. Like piss off. The entire plot of the show was for Han Moo Gang to figure out who was possessed by a Grim reaper. Grim reapers apparently can't pick up remote controls because they phase through them, but they can sit on chairs. ??? And too many more to list. See more 04/08/2020 This is an incredible series that kept me invested until the last half of the last episode. That last half cost it 1.5 stars for finally breaking the story universes rules, several times. It is still well worth resding(watching if you understand Korean) See more Read all reviews
