마왕

Something for a change, finally!!! This is not your ordinary romantic comedy nor cry your eyes out type of drama. 마왕(Mawang, The Devil) is one of those mystery/detective type of drama, which is hard to find in Korea.

Of course, what got be interested was the plot. I love watching mystery/detective story lines. It always gives you the "thrill" on guessing who the killer is. Okay, Okay, I'll admit that another reason is due to our love "prince" is also in the drama. He is shaking off his "prince charming" and turning himself into a "plot setting serial killer" (oops, am I giving away the ending).

This drama is kind of hard to follow if you don't pay attention to the details. It is very complicated when it comes to history of the pictures and the definition of the Tarot cards. I always have to re-watch couple times in order to totally absorb the meaning behind those clues. One thing that I don't believe in is "Seo Hae In" character. First off, I don't believe people with "super" power where he/she can "view left-over images" on the item. Second, I don't believe her character is that important in the story. They just want to add more linkage between the Kang Oh Soo and Oh Seung Ha to make more complicated matters. I love seeing the 2 male leads pulling tricks on each other. I really have to say, Oh Seung Ha does give me the chill sometimes when I see him alone in the dark. He is kind of scary sometimes.

I would recommended you to see this if you like mystery/detective story and tired of those typical drama. This is definitely something that you do not see in Kdrama everyday.
