Bulgasal end its story after a hella ride of rollercoaster full of emotions after 16 episodes. I doubt that there will be a second season for this drama; I have read one of the article mentioned about it. I hope there will be no second season, as this one season is already enough.

First thing first, Bulgasal is certainly a good drama to watch. It didn’t disappoint me from the first episodes up to the finale. There’s a background story to all the characters, why they did what they did. Bit by bit, it unraveled the secrets that haunts all of them. That’s the uniqueness of this story. For me, it was all written beautifully — the storylines. However, some might argued that the script was written poorly. I beg to differ on this. I did enjoyed the drama and always looking forward for the next eps and for the thrilled this drama gonna serve me. Compared to other drama (that has worse script), this drama is 10x better and worth watching.

The cinematography of this drama is one of the finest I have ever seen. Omg, not gonna lie this is one of the reasons why I attracted to watch the drama. The background setting between modern days and Goryeo times beautifully and amazingly portrayed. The prop used, the costumes during the ancient times and all the tiny details were presented almost flawless (at least in my pov).
Since Bulgasal focusing on a creature that lives on a mountain, therefore a lot of filming process happened in nature setting I guess, which really captivates me every time.

The acting of all the cast members are on top notch. There’s no doubt in this, unless if you have different opinions than me. Lee Jinuk & Kwon Nara’s chemistry is no joke. I really love their compassion for the acting. All the emotions delivered pretty convincing and I’m drenched with tears every time Sang Un cried. Lee Joon is a gem that carry the whole show on his shoulder. Without a character of darkhole, this story would be pointless. He nailed his character and successfully makes us hated and pity for him. Please director, I wanna see him become a ML in his future drama. He has a great potential.

Imo, this drama have all the perfect ingredients to be a great drama with a perfect score. The only thing that I disliked about it is that the timing for the background story to be unraveled taking a bit too long. It took 16 episodes for all the secrets to be unraveled, all the questions to be answered and it resulted for the ending to end abruptly and kinda rushed. That’s the reason why I could only give this drama 9/10. Still, the ending is still good considering we got a proper closure that we need. Therefore, I can just turn away from this minor flaws. In addition, the OSTs for this drama is worth to listen to. 4Men-Leave, Minseo - Can’t Forget You, and Tunnel are my favourites.

My final thoughts, this definitely a good drama to binge. Please don’t give up yet for those who think to drop this drama. Trust me, after watching eps 16 you will think that the journey is really worth it. It gives you thousands of emotion and you will learn why Sang Un & Dan Hwal were tied with an ill fated relationship. And you will learn what they gonna do to amend and redeem their cursed fate. The ride gonna worth it! <3
