Helmed by Young-woo Jang from a screenplay written by So-ra Kwon and Jae Won Seo, the Korean original fantasy horror series ‘Bulgasal: Immortal Souls’ (alternatively titled ‘Immortality’) is a treat for the eyes. The story takes us to an ancient world where the presence of Monsters threatens humans. Humans seek to eradicate monsters in an era of transition, but Bulgasal cannot be killed as it has no soul. When it sets eyes upon a soul, the child must become immortal to pay for the sins.
A child cursed by Bulgasal becomes the subject of torment by the villagers who think him to be the cause for the deaths in the village. But destiny entails the child to become one of the most feared demon slayers to go down in history. The story unfolds in breathtaking mountainous and forested regions while retaining the old-world charm. The sheer production value makes the show captivating, and a star-studded cast ensemble brings the fantasy world to life. However, you may have wondered where the series is filmed, and in that case, allow us to divulge everything.
