Saeoh, thinking that her son had died, is overcome with grief and turns into the black joojak to destroy the world. Hwanwoong is the only one who could stop her. Afterwords, Hwanwoong returns to the Heavens and prophecizes that, 2,000 years later, the true Joo Shin king will come to Earth. With the help of the four gods, he will rebuild Joo Shin."


REVIEW:
I enjoyed this drama very much.  Although there were some errors in the special effects department, the show made me an addict for a few days.

Unfortunately, though, I kind of put off writing this review for a month. So, basically, I can't remember what I was going to write about.  My laziness is really getting out of control.  In any case, I hope you enjoy this series.  If I remember something else about this series, I'll update this post later on.

"Jun Seol starts a band to get her life back on track. She recently divorced her husband after realizing that she deserved to be treated better by her husband's family. Her band mates are also 'ahjummas' who also have personal problems of their own."

I personally found this show very addicting, but I heard many people say that there were things in the show that were disappointing. Although many viewers didn't like the ending, I felt that the ending was realistic.  Truthfully, I kind of always knew it would end the way it did, so it doesn't surprise me.  The only problem with a realistic ending, though, is that viewers don't usually enjoy reality.  Most viewers disregard realistic stories in favor of a fairy tale, as fairy tales tend to end beautifully.  Sometimes, however, it is refreshing to watch something that is not sugarcoated.

The next thing that a potential viewer might want to know before hand is that there are a lot of episodes that deal with law since her ex-husband is a lawyer.  Don't be surprised if an episode minimizes the music aspect in order to show more of her personal life and what she is going through at the time.
