Thank goodness i came back to this drama after thinking of dropping it off. I expected kinda lot from this drama seeing how much it was recommended. and maybe i expected too much from those reviews, and didn't meet what i initially expected. but after some time, i picked it up again and-- god, that was the best thing that i've ever did this month. i'm giving this 10/10 not because it's flawless, but because those flaws where overshadowed by lots of perfection.

i'd start off with the flaws.
- the initial theme of this drama is about this mortals counters who are bound to catch and summon evil spirits. however, i feel like the drama focus much about politics and corruption other than catching spirits. although there's a connection between those spirits and politics, i was just hoping that they kinda stayed true what they are supposed to be. i think they didn't even catch more than 5 spirits? since they focused more on catching Cheong-sin and the girl. i wished they were just more.

- i wasn't too heartbroken by the punishment that they receive because they've violated too many rules even though they have reasons. at some point, the rules that Yung created seems to be mere decoration. although they were punished for violating them, it just feels as if they were beginners to ignore too many rules. but i'm glad that it served as a lesson for them to be better esp Mun since he was getting out of hand at times.

so far those are all the flaws that really bothered me. there are actually more smaller plotholes but i don't want to mention them yet as i'm hoping that they'd be answered by the second season.

moving on to the good points.
- THE WHOLE TEAM. yep. that's right. the best thing in this drama is the whole team and the way that their characters were fleshed out. it's just so rare to see a main lead having such a great chemistry with everyone, may it be Mo Tak, Ms. Chu, Mr. Chairmain and of course, Ha Na. and these people interact with each other in such a heartwarming-- aaaaa, i can't even describe. i want to each and everyone of them safe.

- Hana and So Mun. my god, i can't believe i'm watching an OCN drama. i feel like they're spilling us too much with these heaven sent chemistry that it's starting to make me feel anxious with what they have in their sleeves for the next season. please don't break them apart. come on, OCN, just give it to us for the next season. kidding aside, that subtle teasing and gestures and actions of the two, my god i'm melting. i love the fact that Ha Na's character develop, being more open to people, smiling, remembering her family and of course allowing someone to touch her finally-- yes i'm talking abut So Mun, thank you very much.

- the oh so satisfying revenge and catching ghost scenes. i can't stop myself from laughing whenever they catch those bastards.

- the ending. damn. that start of episode 16? that was the thriller that i've been waiting for in this. i've pinched my sister so hard that we almost end up fighting. lol. that was the best and one of the most satisfying thriller scene, ever. i love the fact that they put back So Mun's limp as he beat the hell out of that devil. and the rest of the episode? one of the best and most satisfying ending ever. i dn't care if it looks like a fan service with all things too good, i think it just stayed true to its theme as this is not like the usual dark and twisted OCN. i couldn't ask for more with that ending.

i've never had the urge to rewatch a drama after watching this (i don't rewatch). and i will surely be waiting for the second season, hoping that it would focus more on them catching ghost and some progress *ehem* Ha Na x Mun *ehem*. this is definitely a drama for you if you're looking for something suspenseful but lighthearted and comedic toned.
