what a horrendous all-red outfit. could've done it with a red hoodie only. the gray one is better but ig its to have a more eye-catching or comedic relief outfit. good thing they changed it at the end. i think they did that as a hint for second season, too bad it is not happening.

my biggest fear in this kdrama is when mun's grandparents are in the car. its what i always think everytime mun is in contact with other evil spirit.

also one thing i hate is when the yung folks or something first remove mun his powers. they shouldn't involved him in the afterlife business if they will remove him in the first place. that's a kid so he's still not mature but he's learning. they didn't even think of possible dangers he may faced. and that's when he was kidnapped. like... isn't that a given since the evil guy already know his face. shouldn't they atleast be smart enough to know that. but ig they did that so mun will have a character development.

what i don't get it is when the evil spirit is in the body of the bald guy. like isn't it supposed to be a different guy since that's what is seen in the past evil spirits that ascend. anyways, the evil spirit host (bald guy) would've definitely be a better guy if only he wasn't adopted by that shitty father who only made him do the bad deeds. like, he literally cares for the kids in the orphanage even though he has an evil spirit inside him. that proves that if he was taken care of as a child and was raised in a good family, he wouldn't geow up like that.

anyways, i love when bad guys are self-aware.

“why is this place all white? are we in heaven?”

“you idiot, how can we be in heaven? you know we don't deserve that.”

i also love mun's two besties. they are always there when mun needs help especially wih his trauma. love them when they are always there to save him, both physically and mentally. also the last episode is a tearjerker and heartwarming. love their bond
