The reproduction of the era has the task of bringing the dark moments of Korean history to the public’s attention. The Japanese colonization of Korea is in fact little known in France, but it is important for the Korean people, and the series is not the first to remember it. Furthermore, although the show does not revolutionize the genrewe immediately get carried away by this story that mixes investigation, romance, drama and fantasy a good note of horror.
