I was so annoyed with the character that I decided to stopped watching. Looks good @abs-oluteM, the trailer is well made. The cinematographic looks great too. 1 2 Link to comment

mademoiselle Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I'm looking forward to this because I've run out of (engaging) dramas to watch. 4 Link to comment
mademoiselle Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Not sure what to think of the drama yet. It feels... very much like some American films whereby all it does is making us watch the heroine run for her life being attacked by monsters. A bit like how Sweet Home is at first. I hope there is more depth in the storyline than just run, defend, kill and save the world. @abs-oluteM You can watch this. Not scary at all. There is a very short scene of Cha Eun Woo doing exorcism but no where near as disturbing as The Guest or Exorcist (film). It passes by quick too. The story seems to be quite simple as well with a world that used to be plagued by evil spirits/demons and to be rid of them there need a female saviour. Though Won Mi Ho (Lee Da Hae) was mostly seen chased after, screamed and ran in these episodes, the drama managed to tell us a little backstory about how her past life linked to Van (Kim Nam Gil) and Gung Tan (Sung Joon). The humans did a very selfish thing by turning child Van and Gung Tan into half human half demon and trained them to become Demon Slayer. Because Van has demon blood running in his vein, he became an immortal. Cha Eun Woo as Giovanni has very little screen time in these two episodes. Kim Nam Gil has lots of action scenes fighting the Lust Demon and very little lines. I think the best scene would be when he visited Mi Ho in her room. The interaction has some sparks. I do like the backstory between Van and past life Mi Ho. It would be silly not to have a bit of loveline given the premise of how their characters are linked. In the end of episode 2... Spoiler ... it hinted that Van was the one who killed the past saviour. But why... we don't get to find out yet. It was quite easy to figure out that Gung Tan was the one releasing Lust Demon and send them to Mi Ho. 1 3 Link to comment
Tofu Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 @mademoiselle I feel the same way about the first two episodes but either way, I quite enjoyed it. I didn't think I would, but I'm quite curious about multiple things now. After Van kills the lust demons, he would visit the funeral site and add their rock to the other rock piles. Was anyone reminded of Jang Wook from Alchemy S2 watching that scene? Jang Wook did the same thing whenever he killed a soul monster (sorry, I can't remember the exact name for them). 1 3 Link to comment

Soju Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Watching this show is like entering a room filled with weed smokers and you're suddenly getting high just from inhaling the air. So many action scenes too. Wasted two hours of my time understanding the plot and I'm not even complaining. Consider me entertained. 2 3 Link to comment

If that is the case, you can still lose subscribers. 3 Link to comment
mademoiselle Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I need someone to tell me what is Johan's purpose in the storyline because he's more of an annoying hindrance than help in the latest episodes. I'm pretty sure he'll later become a protector of Mi Ho but how is the question because he's not strong enough to fight the lust demons. ... and I really need Mi Ho to start awakening now... otherwise at least LET her know who she really is! I like the subtle interactions (chemistry) between Van and Mi Ho. Need more of that, please. 2 1 Link to comment
abs-oluteM Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 @mademoiselle I just started on this...there's a lot of running around but KNG's action scenes are way too fast. So fast that when I blink, it's gone - I had to backtrack to watch it.

mademoiselle Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 @abs-oluteM Yeah I don't think it was very well-done and take a bit of getting used to in the beginning especially you're expecting to "see" him and then you don't. Hahaha. 3 Link to comment
Tofu Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 @mademoiselle Maybe it's just me but I'm reminded so much of Bulgasal -- visually pleasing but it lacks so much in story development. I was kind of bored watching episode 3 and 4. I don't know who or what Johan is supposed to represent/be too. 1 3 Link to comment
mademoiselle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 @Tofu True. I'll probably still watch it for entertainment purposes. Maybe @bluepebbles can give us some spoilers to keep us interested. 4 Link to comment
mademoiselle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I would like to know how they ended up like this (and for how long), don't you guys? 😆 4 Link to comment
abs-oluteM Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 @mademoiselle @Tofu @ktcjdrama I thought eps 3 and 4 were better than the 1st two. TBH my patience was tested at first as I could barely figure out the direction of the show. There was heck of a lot of running around and a brooding Van whose action scenes I could barely catch. The CGI here is not the best too. Fortunately, when the 3 finally met , the pace was better and at least the story is headed somewhere From what I am able to understand MH who will soon be "awaken" and become Won Jeong, the "chosen One " to protect this world from the evil spirits who are about to stage some massive "invasion". Van is a half-demon whose fate has been intertwined with Won Jeong in a previous life ( or was it lives? ) and prophecy is that he will kill her in this lifetime just as he did in the previous one. But my question is, didn't she save him when they were children? I am also getting these vibes that there was some affection or love between them ( which I think will be necessary to anchor the story) . Also I am assuming she isn't immortal like him and has been reincarnated? Johan comes into the picture as the earthly guardian of Won Jeong. A gifted priest who is aware of the prophecy, and I am assuming will come between Van & MiHo/ WJ. I was quite surprised that the fighting scenes between the two took place at the end of eps 4. And Van stabbing WJ - is it to awaken her ? Some spoilers that I saw @bluepebbles post Apparently there was a webtoon & a novel - and so far the drama is following the novel. The storyline on the webtoon is not as good Spoiler So next week ep 5 & 6 is where S1 ends. Then somewhere in Feb ( someone on Twitter mentioned) S2 with the balance of the 6 episodes will air. I really hate them doing things like that - splitting one season into 2.
