FANGIRL FEELS
- This show has supernatural elements, comedy, romance, and crime – suitable for many viewers.
- Every episode is filled with revelations, and plot twists. Every given answer raised another question.
- I struggled a little bit to follow the plot. Sometimes it feels like you need a flowchart to keep up because it does get quite confusing.
- Lack of chemistry between the female lead and the male lead.
- Song Seung Heon is amazing.
- I’m not impressed with Go Ara’s acting, I find her character annoying!
- Overall, this is an intense drama, and it’s good for people who are tired of shallow stories and predictable plots.
My Rating – 8/10
