Gwi-gong

I watch a lot of Kdramas, comedies and adventure shows and this is one of the best I have seen. I also have a weakness for supernatural shows, period pieces and light romances, so if you like that mix, this one may also hit all your buttons. Most Korean 16 episode shows have weaknesses about 2/3rds of the way through, but this one kept up the pacing while ratcheting up the storyline. What's not to love about a type of lower level dragon in a human body who mouths off to a Joseon king? The leads were excellent and I felt had real chemistry, with Bona being more affecting than I remembered from other shows. Cha-Chung Hwa, a supporting member of the cast is someone I always like to see in these shows-the perfect mother worrywort type who just never gets mentioned despite her skills. Highly recommended.

The story is great, and the cast stellar. I didnt expect it to be that good at all. But it was and many times I was so gripped by all the ghosts Gangcheori and Yeo-ri were fighting. They make such a good pair and were so hilarious at times.

Throughout the drama all I worried about the most was Gangcheori eventually dying in his bid to always protect Yeo-ri.

Touching, funny, and so so nice to watch - this ranks one of the very top kdramas in my heart after DOTS, CLOY, GOBLIN, and the Alchemy of Souls.

The King himself is very endearing...very solid and committed to his people, with a dry sense of humor. Never would I have expected such great acting... in a random ghost drama I happened to chance upon!

Interesting plot but i felt it was dragged for too long. Supporting cast did really well especially the King, Queen Dowager, ML's mom, blind villain and even the queen. Leads have no chemistry imo.

Ok let's talk about the leads both perform ok but most of their scenes the ML actually stands out. I find the FL a bore... like no personality whatsoever I even think she could've used some ad-libs in some of the scenes. She has like 5 expressions. I am not trying to be mean just being critical. The ML was ok but the character is way too weak and no end goal.

The supporting cast was amazing the King & Queens chemistry is top notched. Everybody else act so well.

After a long time a kdrama to get me hooked. 1000/10. Everything was perfect (plot, characters, visuals, costumes, acting, music). I eagerly awaited to see Kim Young Kwang, but I realized he won't appear again. However Yook Sung Jae managed to portray Gangcheori well. I can't even compare any of the characters, because they all were so good at performing their roles including the ghosts. Thank you for the best ending.. I can't wait to see S2 with same actors and actresses (at least some special episodes with sweet moments of Yeori and Kang Chul). Also, the music was great too. The best OST for 2025 so far. I guarantee you will giggle and cry at the same time. Truly amazing!!

This was a great fantasy period series. I haven't enjoyed a series like this as much since Alchemy of Souls. Very good story, acting and production. You will laugh, cry, cringe and cheer your way through to the end. I would love to see a second season please! I know k-dramas generally do not do other seasons, but the end left it open for one, so keeping fingers crossed 🤞

I really liked how the king was portrayed as a virtuous man who never faltered. The love story that developed between Yeo Ri and the Imugi is so touching, and seeing him become more human was a joy to watch. If you love these types of stories, the you do t want to miss this.
