Some viewers felt Yohan's heavy backstory was introduced a bit too suddenly. Great build-up of suspense and emotional stakes.
This episode serves as a massive turning point for the trio as long-buried secrets and dark motivations finally come to light.
The editing in this specific episode felt choppy to some viewers. 🔍 The Verdict
: The episode picks up immediately from the terrifying cliffhanger where Ban (Kim Nam-gil), consumed by his lust demon nature, tries to kill Mi-ho (Lee Da-hee). He stops himself by stabbing his own hand, showing his desperate struggle to protect her from his own curse.
Excellent exploration of Yohan's grief and Ban's self-loathing.
If you are watching via platforms like Dramacool or Prime Video, Episode 5 is a mandatory watch to understand the endgame. While it pulls back slightly on the chaotic action to breathe, the psychological tension between Ban and Mi-ho, combined with Yohan's heartbreaking arc, makes it a highly memorable and "meaty" episode for character lovers.
