Yu Jin was raised within the desert tribes of Xiong Nu, although her foster father is a Han. Under certain circumstances, she was forced to flee to Chang'an, the then capital of the Early Han Dynasty, changing her name to Jin Yu along the way. Along her journey, she first meets the calm and kind Mo Xun (aka Jiu Ye, ninth master) and later the handsome, cold general Wei Wu Ji. Jin Yu falls for one of them but is rejected. Will she untangle her love knot? Who will she choose in the end?
Both dramas are set in historical times, Joseon Exorcist being joseon and Bulgasal being both Goryeo and Joseon. Zombie like monsters are in both dramas, and they attack people in violent ways with super strength. They're more like demons, and there are specific demons that can turn other people into the mindless creatures to attack their own. Both are very violent and have good battle scenes.
