Drama Digest

A woman has a fictional power of remembering her past lives of around 600 years and can repeat the death and reincarnation of that timeline. She soon discovers a man they cannot be killed or can not kill himself and has lived for 600 years. The name of this type of mystical and magical creature is given as Bulgasal, who just feeds off human blood and is cursed by other powers to live forever, an immortal life who never wished to have.

The Feel-Good Part

The plot is very different and unique in its way. Such shows with ordinary and innocent people who must to complete specific tasks to escape a World they are put into are always very innovative and interesting to watch. The sets made for the fictional Worlds are also very creative and beautiful. The action of fighting off such a creature like the Bulgasal to remove his curse of immortality and to protect the innocent people from him is interesting, and it is a unique and new concept.

The Disappointing Factor

The biggest disappointment of the show is definitely how the scenes made for the respective situations are being curated. Some are not even appropriate and creative to put on the standard and harmless people, and it takes away the fun and lightheartedness of the show. The background scores of the show are poorly curated. Other series made with similar plotlines are much better than this, where the start was nice but then it all got complicated. The immersive segment of the cast gets translated a bit more which gets into giving too much information for the viewer and distracts them.

In-Depth Analysis

The explanations of each scene, along with the ending made, are intricate. The sets and locations where the shooting takes place are beautiful and scenic. The apparel and the aesthetics of each character and the shooting area is well-executed. This show is unbelievably high quality, with the editing done a bit different than the other similar spectrum shows being made in the drama industry. The concept of showing the strength of people’ brainpower is highlighted and that brings another charm to the series. It leaves a permanent mark on the viewers.

Star Power

All the characters of the show are curious and seem real to their acting, and it doesn’t matter to them being a side or guest character. All of them are innovative and creative with their ideas and the routes they choose to come out of the fictional world. They enjoy the time they spend while stuck in the World sometimes, but most of the time it is difficult for them to survive and thrive. The way the male and the female lead helps every one to get out of this terrible situation,, and to lead them into regular and sane life is heartwarming and gorgeous to watch. The heartbreaking scene of losing a loved one is also shown, which is beautiful.

Overall Opinion

Someone who likes to watch interesting and exciting storylines, this is a worthwhile watch.
