The same old story about the hardships and complexities of the artists world in Korea and the personal problems in the lives of idols, the ups and downs, the difficulties, and the return to the top, and its impact on their relationships and private lives, and sometimes their emotional and romantic interactions The beginning of the story seems exciting and the audience thinks that this time the subject is going to be looked at from a new and different angle, but in the last two or three episodes, the viewer realizes that nothing new is going to happen or a new narrative is going to be created.

The only strong point of this drama was the strong emotional performance of Suzy and Yang Se-Jong. Although this mini-sries was only 9 episodes long, I do not recommend watching it because it has nothing new to offer, and I give it a 6 out of 10 points.

The plot is about evil spirits and a haunted palace in ancient Korean history and the main message is that spirits do not become evil on their own and it is humans and ambitious people who create evil and negative energies by destroying their own kind.

The story started out very interesting. In this drama Yook Sung-Jae has a very likable and funny character and his acting is acceptable, in contrary to Bona, who has a very boring and predictable character. Even her facial expressions are very cold and except for the end of the series when she cries at times, no emotion can be recognized on her cold and robot-like face. The emotional relationship between them is very fake and even the kiss that is exchanged is very, very unreal.

This show has its shortcoming, but it is a sweet series that the viewer does not get tired of watching. However, the last episode also ends very, very stupidly and we even see an apology from the spirit who intentionally or unintentionally caused the death of innocent characters in this story.

I give this series a 7 out of 10 points.
