A fun and interesting action, supernatural drama that'll keep you hooked!

I wasn't going to watch this at first, however, after seeing the many positive reviews about this drama I decided to give it a try. And I definitely did not regret it!

In the beginning of the drama, I was sorta confused with what is going on, however, it started to make sense as the story progressed. The friendship between all four characters was definitely real. They really care about each other and would do anything to save each other. However, it was disappointing that Mun and Hana never got together even though they hinted small bits of romance between them. However, this drama doesn't revolve around romance but more of the friendship between all four. There was a lot of funny scenes in here too which made it better!

I don't watch a lot of supernatural/ghost spirit kind of dramas. But this one was definitely an interesting one that kept me hooked the whole time. The drama was nothing too complicating, it was straightforward and easy to understand. Nothing was dragged on because every scene was relevant that connects to the story. Mun lost his parents at a car "accident" which left him disabled. However, once he gained superpowers, he found out his parents were actually murdered by an evil spirit and the political higher-ups were somehow involved in it too. AND his parent's souls were taken by the evil spirit, Cheong Shin, who has also killed and taken many other people's souls to make him stronger. Therefore, Mun and the rest of the members had the mission to stop and summon the evil spirit out of this dude in order to free all the dead souls (including Mun's parents) to ascend them peacefully to heaven. Interesting plot right?

The action scenes were one of the best highlights of this drama. The action looked SO REAL! And it's brutal too like damn! I give so much kudos to all the actors/actresses for taking part in such brutal scenes. Kim Se Jeong (Hana) surprised me the most with her martial arts skills. I never imagined she'd be in this type of drama nor see her do these types of strenuous action scenes that maybe not a lot of idol girls can do. She definitely stood out in this drama and give her high compliments.

The antagonists were just brutal and toxic as hell LOL. Like they really hit a nerve that makes you just so frustrated because of the never-ending killing of multiple innocent people. Cheong Shin had a broken childhood and unfortunately got an evil spirit in him. Even though he was dead-beat evil, he showed some soft normal side of himself when he went back to the orphanage to watch the kids play and even defended one of them when one of his mates was about to kill him. It's confusing but at least good i guess to see there's some human side left in him, but he was still dead ass evil and needed to be jailed. But he killed himself so LOL.

The last episode where Mun finally reunited with his parents got me really emotional and teary-eyed. What I love about that scene is that they really made it believable enough to get viewers to feel emotional because it is such a special heartbreaking scene of a kid and their parents reuniting after 7 years from a tragic accident. One thing I was disappointed with was that they didn't really go into much of Ha Na's story. Like yeah we know her family died and she didn't but like.. is that it? We got into the back story of the other three characters and had some resolution to it but nothing very much on Ha Na's part. Or maybe that scene when she was fighting that lady when she "saw" her family was a closure? Idk, but that was just me. I guess she had closure that she is fine but just didn't really show it much on here.

Other than that, the whole drama was great and entertaining in general. I would definitely watch this again and highly recommend it to anyone!
