‘ Bulgasal’ is one of those dramas that should’ve been really, really, really good . It had a decent cast, an intriguing setup and the fact that this was written by the same writers as ‘’The Guest’’ should’ve spoken volumes.

But instead we got sixteen episodes of moping, cheesy interactions and a dragging plot which could’ve easily been wrapped up in six episodes max. Don’t doubt me when I say that I did like certain elements of the series. I really liked the idea surrounding the monsters, the bulgasal and the concept of reincarnation.

My biggest problem was that it just wasn’t carried forward. There was no real sense of threat or obstacles, and even when there were multiple opportunities to do so, there really wasn’t anything added to explain these key concepts.

Perhaps my one saving grace for the show was Lee Joon. I’m familiar with his work and whilst I’m not a fan, Lee Joon and Lee Jin Wook were good onscreen. Apart from a few decent performances and a mystical concept, I’m not sure whether I’d watch this again.
