Episode 1 Living In The Mist

Whao.  Screammmmm I have been waiting for this drama to broadcast for so long and now here it is.  So excited.

And it did not disappoint.

Once upon a time, demons live with humans.  Demons protected humans as guardians.

But then organised religions happened🤣🤣🤣.  Suddenly, the demons acquired the reputation of being evil spirits when in fact they were angels of the fallen kind.

Anyway, 200 years ago, Gu Won realised how the demons have been so marginalised by the Catholic Church, in spite of this, Gu Won wears a cross necklace and had a cross mark on his wrist.  He is now working as a seductive grim reaper.

He finds people who were on their last hope.  He then seduced them into signing a prosperity contract in return for their souls.  He would give them at least ten years to live the life of Riley and then he would take their lives after due date.

Gu Won was just celebrating another successful soul gathering by hiring a dining room in a plush restaurant all to himself.

But then a beautiful girl tresspassed the area thinking that he was her blinddate.  The girl was Do Do Hee, the CEO of Mirae F& B, who reluctantly turned up for her blinddate because Madam Ju, her beloved guardian, who adopted her, refused to go for her MRI scan unless DoDoHee goes to her blinddate.

Anyway, Do Do Hee was just about to make an excuse to leave the date early but then she saw the drop-dead gorgeous Gu Won.  She liked what she saw and she later realised that she was blushing.

The poor clueless Gu Won told her that he does not know her and was not expecting her.  Before they good chat more, the posse of the dead gang leader, whose soul Gu Won had just collected turned up.  Gu Won caught them one by one with his newspaper.  The gang ended up a photos in the newspaper.

In the end, he let them go as they were not souls he had to collect.

Meanwhile, Do Do Hee was made aware that the matchmaker gave her the wrong address.  Her blinddate was waiting somewhere else.

…..,…

DoDo Hee was adopted by Madam Ju when she was a little girl after her parents died.  Her father was an engineer who was a business partner of Madam Ju.

Madam Ju cossetted her although she often said to Do Do Hee that she could not trust anyone became in the end they will betray you.

And it seemed this is the case with Madam Ju’s family who were competing against each other to the death to inherit the position of CEO for the entire Mirae Group from Madam Ju.

DoDo Hee was made aware that No Soo An had been creating scandal against Dodo Hee.

Do Do Hee was told where to find No Soo An.  Who she found was an assassin who was going to kill her but then Gu Won turned up.

It looked like Do Do Hee was his next victim.  He said to Dodo Hee that he will save her from the assassin under the condition that she will do what he says.

With not much choice Do Do Hee agreed to his condition.  She let Gu Won deal with the assassin while she tried to hide.  She hid by the bridge when Gu Won found her.  They both ended up plunging into the river below.

They save each other unwillingly.

To Gu Won’s consternation, his cross mark on his wrist had gone.

Episode 2 Everyone Has A Demon In Their Heart

Gu Won could was flabbergasted when he suddenly lost his power when the cross mark on his wrist disappeared.

He then noticed it on Do Do Hee’s wrist.

Do Do Hee was then disgusted to have gotten a tattoo overnight.  She declared that she was going to have it lasered or make it a pororo?!!!

Gu Won told her not to do anything with it.  Without his cross mark, Gu Won found it hard to function as a grim reaper.

But later on, he realised that when he was holding Do Do Hee’s hand, his powers would comeback.

Do Do Hee was crossing the road when a rider threw acid on her director.  But Gu Won was just in time to take the full force of the acid.

Episode 3

Whoa, I did not expect what happened in this episode.  Rather shocking but it showed how Kim Yoo Jung could out-act anyone.

Anyway, Do Hee andd Gu Won went tot he police station to report the acid attack.  The police wanted to know who she offended or who would want to kill her.  They assured her that if the acid went to her face, it would have been fatal for her.

Do Hee said that she had not offended anyone and does not know who would harm her.

Do Hee asked Gu Won to be her bodyguard which he promptly refused because he would not be doing menial task for a human.

Without Doo Hee though Gu Won’s life is in danger of ending all together as he was started fo self combust.

He finally told Do Hee that he will be her bodyguard.

Do Hee got so alarmed because the head of Mirae Finance who called her had committed suicide.  She mentioned this to Madam Ju that the man had contacted her.  Madam Ju was concerned but told Do Hee to mind her own business while she takes care of Mirae Grou[.

The next time Do Hee saw Madam Ju was when she went to look for her in the green house.  Madam Ju had tried to call her but when Do Hee tired to return the call, Madam Ju was not answering her phone.

Do Hee told Gu Won to drive them to the green house where they found Madam Ju who was already dead.  Yes, shocking!

Do Hee was inconsolable and begged Gu Won to bring Madam Ju back to life.  She said that she will sign a contract with Gu Won.

Gu Won who was rather upset to see how heartbroken Do Hee could only say that he could not bring the deadf back to life.

The funeral was widely attended by family, friends and business partners.  Do Hee got so upset that the funeral was turning more into a party where everyone was laughing and joking.

Do Hee went to the nearby green house just to feel Madam Ju.

Gu Won followed her and she mentioned how she misses Madam Ju.  Gu Won asked her if she knew why people at funeral wear black?  He said that black clothing will make the wearer anonymous to the departed spirit.

Do Hee was moved and said that she wishes she was not wearing black because she wanted Madam Ju to recognise her.

With a touch, Gu Won changed her black dress into a pristine white.

Noh Seok Min was confident that he will get to inherit Mirae Group so he asked the company lawyer to read the will right there in the funeral.

To everyone’s surprise, Madam Ju left the company and most of her properties to Do Hee under the condition that she should get married.

Wanting to be in control to find out the deep dark secret withing the Mirae Group and who killed Madam Ju, Do Hee asked Gu Won to marry her right there in front of everyone.

Episode 4

He said ‘No’.  Gu Won turned her down!

Kim You Jung and Song Kang’s visual is the most captivating.  They are gorgeous together.

Episode 7

Whoa this episode is heartbreaking.

Do Hee was getting flak from netizens for supposedly being behind the death of Madam Ju.

The police was alerted about it and ended up with Do Hee getting arrested.

While she was under interrogetion, poor Gu Won was stabbed in the heart by the nape-scratching man who had found out about Gu Won’s secret when he just walked into Gu Won’s office which seemed to be unguarded.  The assailant quite easily managed to put a bug under Gu Won’s desk and took  the  All You Need to Know About Demons book.  He heard everything about Gu Won’s being a demon and his weakness which is written in a book.

Gu Won did not want anyone looking at the book and yet he did not keep it under lock and key.

Anyway, the scratching man got the book.

Gu Won, now more or less reverting to being a human again, was on the point of dying.  All he cared about was Do Do Hee which he called in his dying breath.,

Episode 8

I have to talk about the ending of this episode first because I just had too.  My baby Youjung has really grown up. That was a real torrid kissing scene with the gorgeous Song Kang.

These two’s visual is giving the word, perfect a different higher level.  They are that gorgeous together.

Anyway, poor Do Hee could feel that there was something wrong with Gu Won.  The police told her that he did not believe that she anything at all to do with the death of Madam Ju but the higher ups told him to investigate thoroughly.

He said that he will get the warrant investigated and she should be allowed home.  Unfortunately, they got a message on what happened to Gu Won.  The police was symphatetic so Do Hee was allowed to leave but secretly and had to return immediately afterwards.,

Do Hee went to the hospital and saw Gu Won who was really in a bad way.  She cried holding his hands.

Gu Won woke up and told her that her crying was an ugly sight.  He then hugged her to him which was seen by Ga Young who was enraged with jealousy.

Gu Won perked up around Do Hee but deep down he was really suffering.

Do Hee had to return to the police station. Thankfully, she was cleared and the public also began to change their opinions about her being guilty.

But then, Do Hee kept worrying that her issue with the inheritance and being the CEO were more trouble than their worth.  She thought she will get Gu Won killed if she did not stop so during a board meeting where nomination for the CEO was to be held, she announced that she was no longer in the running.

Gu Won was upset that she was doing it for him.,  Later he confronted Do Hee about it and she told him that she just wanted a quiet life.  She does not want him to guard her anymore as he cannot even protect himself.

Poor Gu Won was helpless because with his current condition, it was the truth.

Still he we went to find Do Hee to find out why she gave up.  He went to see Ju Hyun Hoon who confirmed that she did it for Gu Won.

Gu Won found Do Hee in Madam Ju’s garden. He told her that what makes her happy is what he wanted.  So they had to fight.  He then kissed her as if there was no tomorrow.  Aww.

I think episodes 11 and 12 will be delayed due to SBS Awards ceremony ! Hu hu hu.l

Episode 15

This is tragic.  Do Hee saw Noh Seok Min was going to shoot Gu Won so she quickly covered Gu won with her body and got shot to death instead.

Gu Won was totally heartbroken and without much thinking, he chose to bring Do Hee back to live in exchange with his own existence.

As Do Hee became compos mentis in Gu Won’s embrace, he began to disintigrate like Kim Shin (Gong Woo) in Goblin until only his wedding ring was left for Do Hee.

Episode 16

Do Hee was devastated.  She was so grief stricken she wanted to die herself but then she realised that she owed Gu Won to live otherwise his sacrifice was for nought.

It was Christmas day.  A sad Do Hee went to the seaside when she really learned about Gu Won.  Do Hee spoke to the sea what she felt and what she wanted.

She said that she would like to make a wish..  she wants Gu Won back.

Unbeknown to her Noh Suk Nyeo heard her wish and granted it.

The water by the seaside started to form globules of molecules just like when she first met Gu Won.

The Gu Won was in front of her.  She asked him if she was dead and in hell.

He assured her that it was neither.  He was back.

Aww
