Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and a quick end and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Teen Wolf, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 26 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Choi Kang-chi, a half-human and half-mythical creature, falls in love with martial arts master Dam Yeo-wool after they meet at the Hundred Years Inn. As chaos threatens their world, Kang-chi must restore order while Yeo-wool helps him control his mythical side.
