Poor Chemistry and Inexplicable Choices Ruin this Show
11 March 2023
Interesting premise of a common horror theme - Demonic Possession. But what ruins this show are:

1. Incredibly bad chemistry between the leads. To the point you hate all three and the choices they make and their behavior towards each other.

2. Reliance on the "let's all split up and go it alone" overused horror gimmick that is needed here to generate artificial danger and advance the plot.

3. Similar to #2 is the massively overused "let's stop telling each other the truth, or communicating at all" when the danger closes in. Again, simply to move the plot along.

4. Spineless police chiefs and department heads that kowtow to politicians. Massively overused in Korean shows these days, and turns any genre, whether horror, fantasy, love story, etc., into a police corruption show. If I wanted this, I'd watch the Sopranos or something.

5. The most ridiculous chase scenes I've seen in a while. Bad guys (possessed or not) that can run 10 times faster than good guys half their age. Good guys who can't seem to run together, and after 20 seconds, end up like 1,000 meters apart and get picked off one by one. Sad.

The list goes on. Truly a chore to watch.
