    So here is another SK series that is really interesting and new.

    The general plot is that certain people get this decree from a spiritual head telling them whenb they are going to die. It can be any amount of time, but is normally a couple of days. Then at that time 3 hulking creatures come, beat the crap out of them, and then burn them into a crisp with a white light. No one can stand in the way, and no one can stop the event.

    You learn slowly that this has been happening a lot all over the world, and there is this guy who has been researching these events and claims it is god coming for the sinners because the head says it is going to bring them to hell. So there is this sort of religion forming around these events because the people who have been dying have sinned and it is discovered after they have been killed.

    This is where this starts. It follows through at the point where this happening is proven to the world. Then it follows what happens as these events unfold and what happens to the religion, the authorities, and everyone else as these events go on.

    I do not want to reveal too much about what happens, but it goes in some really interesting directions. It is only 6 episodes so far, but it does seem to set up for a second season.

    There is some good faction and character building here. There is tense and emotional moments. The acting is pretty good, and it has a sort of realism that you can see. It fits a lot into 6 episodes, but it does end in a good place that leaves you wanting the second season, but it also satisfies enough arcs to be conclusive for the moment.

    Just another good korean supernatural thriller.
