6.5/10
Bulgasal: Immortal Souls will not be for everyone, but this dark fantasy features a compelling story and mystery that has a strong pull. Its cast pairs well with the writing, bringing a likability and nuance that will tug at the viewers hearts. Go to Full Review

Meno M @RT31149833 Sep 17 If you're in to fantasy , thrills, eternal mysteries with a subtle , soft touch of romance this is absolutely for you A must - watch masterpieces See more 04/16/2022 The drama was one heck of a roller coaster ride. I watched this while it was ongoing and having to guess the real backstory every week was so much fun. It was exciting. It really kept me hooked till the end. I really loved everything in the drama. The actors and actresses really suit their roles. The chemistry between Jinwook and Nara is fire! My pillows are my victims every time these two would stare at each other, or even be at each other's throats. Too bad there was not one love scene for such an epic tragic love story as theirs. The cinematography is the best. What a feast for the eyes, even the bloody gory scenes are aesthetic. With such a complicated story in different lifetimes, the pacing was just right. I'm super satisfied with how the story was told, how it all unfolded and the ending. They were able to properly close the main story which was that of Dan Hwal and Min Sang-Un at the finale. Although there were some lose ends, but that did not take away from the main essence of the story which is redemption. Those lose ends only keeps the door open for another season or a spin-off movie or something. To which I truly hope would happen because I would 100% watch the heck out of it. My only complaint are the 10+ minutes that were cut out or edited out starting from Episode 9 onwards. I hope Netflix or TVing would release the full 70+ minutes of every episode. And yes the OST is the best. It's been months and the 39 tracks are still on repeat on my playlist. Minseo's Can't Forget You is my favorite. The song really captured all of Min Sang-Un's feelings for the foolish Dan Hwal. The best drama in 2022 I've seen so far 👏 See more 04/03/2022 Honestly, this drama is a freaking masterpiece. The cinematics , the plot twists , the OST's, the performance of all characters is just wonderful I can't explain how great it is. It's without a doubt, a must watch! It's not like other fantasy dramas where lover story and skinship is forced and unnecessary. The love story between the leads is really beautiful.. there are no over the top romantic scenes but you can definitely feel their love through the screen and it'll crush your heart. It's fresh and intriguing. 10/10 tho I'm still not over it and my heart hurts soo much :') See more carlos t @RT67858720 04/01/2022 Minha opinião: Esta série ou dorama #koreano Fala de demônio chamado Bulgasal que não tem alma e não morrem até que revertam a maldição e voltem a ser humanos novamente. E para isso Dan esta procurando Kin para que se reverta a maldição, mas eles descobrem que tem outro bulgasal Eul. E eles vivem matando outros demônios que também vão se reencarnando em suas vidas. Assim já vivem a 600 anos, mas com o andar da carroagem, descobrimos que tanto Kin quanto Dan tem uma aminésia de suas vidas passadas, e descobrem que tudo isso teve inicio a 1.000 anos antes. E nisso vai se formando um grupo que ajuda tanto Dan quanto Kin para desvendar todo o caso. E Assim vai a série, indo e voltando até que toda estória se explique. Este dorama em 16 capitulos, poderia ser menos e não faria diferença. E se você não prestar a atenção nos capitulos é tanta reencarnação na série que você pode se perder. Tipo em 100 anos você pode até se reencarnar 3 X. é o bicho pega. Kkkk Achei muito longo, enrolado com tanta estória da vida da mesma pessoa que reencarnou várias vezes. Uma hora é filha outra, traidora, nasce como irmã, depois amigo,.......... Sugiro você a assistir outra serie. Posso te indicar vários. Roteiro: enrolado Vale apena assistir? Não Nota: 5 See more 02/25/2022 Good idea but poor realisation. It's slow, so slow that I quickly started to jump 10 second forward more and more. The realisator is quite bad also, tons of mellow music on never ending scene... I quited after 6 episodes. See more 02/19/2022 Would have been ok if the story is fast paced and shorter. But no, they put too much drama and focus on the actors crying scenes that i had to fast forward 30 or more seconds to the next scene or dialogue. Heck, I think this is the most times I've seen characters die and shedding a tear after. Too much repetitive flashbacks and pointless meetings/encounters between Hwal and Ok Eul Tae. Such a drag and very disappointing ending. See more Read all reviews
