OK but must really suspend disbelief to watch...

9-10 for acting/music -4 for holes/conveniences/inconsistencies

Entertaining. Well played. I laughed and cried watching this series, but...One must suspend one's disbelief really high to keep watching. Not just because it's a fantasy/supernatural thriller, but because of plot holes, inconsistencies, and conveniences that leaves one's head scratching. And the ending is the biggest head scratcher of all. It made me wonder what was the whole point

*Spoilers below**

Major plot holes/conveniences 1. Why didn't she see the shadow inside her dad the previous 444? 2. Why didn't she see the shadow inside Leo (revealed to be have been taken over since the beginning by 444's grim reaper fugitive partner)? 3. At first, I thought that not seeing the shadow inside Moo-Gang was a plot convenience. But when it was reveled that 444/Joon was inside the body of his brother which had part of his original body, his heart (hence why he couldn't get out of the body) could perhaps explain why no shadow was visible.

Plot inconsistencies 444 allegedly erased from existence coming back to pick up her soul after she lived a long alternate life, and then she suddenly remembers him? That's contradicting their own plot. This connection supposedly NEVER happened. No suspension of disbelief can give that ending any sense.

These flaws aside, still enjoyed most of it.
