For some reason I thought When The Devil Calls Your Name was a musical, so I put off watching it for quite a long time. I suddenly felt the need to check it out the other day, and boy was I pleasantly surprised. An interesting and very different type of story pulled me in, and the characters and music kept me enthralled to the very end.

I found the start to be a little slow, but around the fourth episode the pacing picked up and the soundtrack really got good.

The music is by far the best part of the show, with songs that I listened to long after finishing the show. But the characters are also very well done, particularly Harib, Gi Kyung, and the Devil. The only character that I was confused at why he was included was Kang Ha, the character with memory loss living with Harib, who seemed to be tacked on and served little to no purpose.

I loved the ending, the way all the story lines were wrapped up was very well done, and the character growth is extremely rewarding to watch. The actors did a superb job, particularly the FL and Harib who was a stand out performance.

I highly recommend this show, it is so different from any other kdrama I have seen, and the music subplot is wonderfully well done, with music and performances that are worth the watch all on their own.
