You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tender, tearjerking romantic fantasy focused on loyalty and feelings rather than scares; Not for you if you expect horror, gore, or fast pacing like My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho.
Pros: deeply emotional romance; heartfelt loyalty theme; strong performances | Cons: slow, long runtime; uneven humor; over-the-top villain
