Lee Joon: The villain
Horror is the last genre I pick for entertainment, I get scared easily with all the blood and ghostly immortal creatures. It had a dark aesthetic world full of monsters and Bulgasal (Immortal Creatures) which haunts, reincarnations, and curses that runs from ancient to the present.Bulgasal has an interesting plot, full of fantasy thrillers with the unpredictable story. The history is written pretty nicely with all the characters intertwined with each other but the present story writing is quite stretched and lacking. Every episode is interesting and has a twist but sometimes the questions that arise with the twist remain unanswered in the Plot loops and I watched the next episode expecting to find those answers.
Every scene of the drama is cinematic with the color palette and lights in perfect proportion. Every episode has flashbacks, monsters, and immortal confrontations with humans. Many of them feel having the same expression with all the makeup.
Bulgasal (Kwon Na Ra) is like a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued. She has unconventional beauty which resembles immortality. Her role matches that of a solemn, optimist, and resentful lady of the past. She does a very good job.
Well, Lee Joon villain saves the day for me. He literally is my show-stealer. His villain characterization with bold wardrobe is exemplary. I picked this drama solely for LEE JOON, for I had started admiring him for a few months after watching his extensive range of acting in My Father is Strange. He is an excellent ick for the antagonist character and for the first time I am more into villain than Leads.
music is fine with my favorite is "If You Cant Forget". I really like the intricate BGM.
I would rewatch the drama to watch of course Lee Joon.
If you are a fan of fantasy, mystery, and thriller dramas, BULGASAL is a must-watch.

A MASTERPIECE
I loved every second of this kdrama. Unquestionably worth watching. The acting, the plot, the flashbacks from the past, they were all beyond perfect. I absolutely loved how they blended the past with the future. AND THE CINEMATOGRAPHY *chef's kiss*!!!!Many are comparing this to Goblin, I can see the resemblance, but Bulgasal was in my honest opinion 10x better. Goblin was more of a romantic kdrama, whilst this was much more intense and focused on family dynamics. But It definitely surpassed Goblin.

O elenco deu um show , tudo foi muito bem atuado os personagens eram consistentes , complexos e suas histórias contavam e desvendavam seus comportamentos , cada personagem foi trabalhado neste show aqui não temos pontas soltas, tudo foi explicado de forma formidável conforme os episódios progrediam.
Os protagonistas me agradaram bastante , a história deles foi envolvente, triste e linda ao mesmo tempo, tanto o protagonista masculino quanto a protagonista feminina desempenharam bem seus papeis não deixando nada para reclamar, bem tenho só algo para reclamar aqui , gente o que foi o guarda roupa da protagonista feminina, as roupas delas me deixaram infeliz afinal por que só ela tinha que se vestir mau, mas tudo bem não atrapalha em nada a história e o drama continua sendo bom de qualquer forma
Em fim esse show vai te deixar hipnotizado pela história e suas reviravoltas , pela química boa que os protagonistas tem e o romance que é retratado de forma leve porém extremamente profundo entre eles.

A tale of love that span a thousand years
Loved it. I liked the switch from paranormal traditional drama to modern day paranormal drama.The backstory was so engaging it made me hooked to the show. Their stories and histories are complicated and a bit convoluted. I think that's normal, if you're trying to tell a thousand years of history..
I was on the edge of my seat almost all the time. The show gave me the thrill, the adventure, the mystery, a few laughs, a heart tugging tears and an epic love story.
The last episode almost threw everything to the drain, the only saving grace was the consolation of a happy ending.
There are some plot holes, but are forgivable. Cast were great. OST too, they set tone of the scenes beautifully. And I would very much likely to rewatch the show.

Mindblowing Bulgasals
First of all I really enjoyed the series and how the plot is very unpredictable, I love the never ending plot twists from the beginning till the very end and honestly I did not stop watching this since you will get your attention on what's next, you will be curious in every episodes that's how I felt watching Bulgasal: Immortal Souls.I also love the friendship and family of the leads how all of the characters are connected in the three timelines and I felt sad for the other characters but amazed on the other hand when in the next life they met again, literally in other life I would be your girl~~~ hahaha that's all

Quality Dark fiction which tickles our binge watching genes
Due to the plethora of shows with 'fiction' tag thrown at us, it is nearly impossible to actually find one that we would enjoy and re-watch later. This is one of them.What hooked me to this series was the overall storyline and how events unfolded keeping the suspense till the last episode, with a perfect ending, giving the viewers full closure. The actors have done a fabulous job especially the villain in giving life to their respective characters'. OST was well balanced to the plot and moments.
Even with 16 episodes this one tickles our binge watching genes.
Overall a great drama to invest our 16 hours in.

lee joon's acting
do yun's pretty face c:
seeing hwal's hairstyle change over the years
ost, gosh I love 4men's voices
seeing a family form
bad points?
...quite a lot, gosh I really wanted to love this one
the repetitiveness and I mean this in all aspects you can think of
that damn light they shine everytime hwal and sang un are in the same frame. this is, funnily, my most hated aspect lol
the 2d characters
...the romance :/
honestly the drama started a bit strong but it went downhill maybe from episode 6 or so. as with so many other dramas, it was unnecessarily stretched. 10 episodes would've done it more justice but it is what it is.

Lazy writing
The insane amount of plot conveniences ruined the drama and killed even the slightest potential it might had which made the writing seems abysmal. Not only it was stupid with every step along the way but it also removed the tension with any serious scene. Moreover, we were over fed the same repeated information like babies. Even if we were to disregard all of that, the pacing was terrible with a big empty gap of nothingness in the middle parts. None of the side cast were interesting enough to make the middle parts worthwhile. Aside from the first episode, there wasn't much appeal left.Cet avis était-il utile?

Tormentous but intense, romantic tale of posssessive love
The ending was good...better than I expected.My only complaint is that the female lead was not upto par with the male lead when it comes to sensitivity. And the male lead wasn't that bad at all. After all, the humans made him that way 1000 yrs ago. The female lead should've understood that & forgiven the male lead 1000 yrs back itself. From what I see, she was one of the main source of all complications & messed up fate of the main male lead. The male lead had too much faith in her for his own good. Such a pity. But the ending made up for what was lacking in the their initial backstory & the plot as a whole --- somewhat.
The backstory of the main leads 1000 yrs ago ( minus the sidekicks) had huge potential. Such a pity all of that got erased by a poorly designed plot.
The story could've been made thousand times better and rosier--- not moodier!
Hope there will be a season 2 with a more epic but simpler, rosier story revolving around the male lead and the same, but wiser, more sensible female lead with no unnecessary side stories and convoluted complications. Only then, will I as a viewer be completely satisfied.

Great cast, mediocre writing
I thought this was pretty slow moving up until about episode 8, it took that long to build enough backstory to make it interesting. I know a lot of reviewers liked the beginning and the later episodes less. I also didn't like the way some of the plot twists were written to MF with the audience. Yes, I know it's a common K-Drama plot device. I did not like the Finale, it was rather depressing and the reunion felt rushed and incomplete. A darker but happier full circle ending might have been interesting.I did enjoy the cast, the ladies were so pretty. LOL. I'm sure the female viewers enjoyed the pretty boys too. The detective and the 'Housekeeper' were great as well. I really liked Kwon Na Ra, although I admit she was not my favourite in Itaewon Class. I also noticed Gong Seung-Yeon's eyes, as mentioned by other reviewers.
The plot was Goblinesque, I will rewatch Goblin one day, but not this show. I would watch a season two if it ever happens, but I can't imagine where it would go from here, perhaps we would get the romance that never bloomed this time.

Had High Hopes for this
It is a unique dark and gory folklore fantasy supernatural drama about immortality where the characters reincarnate through time. The characters either were related or have interacted with each other. I was enthralled in the first half of the drama, it was sufficiently dark with excellent cinematography with an OST that was so good. The acting was good as I had seen some of the S. Korean actors and actresses in other series before and they are talented. The Villain Dark Hole stood out where he layered aspects of childish desperation, insatiable greed, and centuries of hatred for the ML and FL. The film artistry with the historical scenes, settings, and costumes were excellent.This is a big budget drama but it didn't save it from the bad plotting and scattered storyline that really unraveled in the second half of this. Why??? Noooooo... It kinda broke me a little when the storyline started to fall apart and got messy. It felt rushed towards the end sort of like GoT's final season. I watched this to the end and refused to drop it but it did hurt a bit when it could have been executed a lot better.
We need more unique dramas like this but with a tighter narrative storyline.
