Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds Episode 1

Promising Start, But the Spark Fizzles Fast

Dawn Amidst Hidden Cloud begins with a suspenseful setup, supported by a talented cast and beautifully designed decors that show real production effort. Unfortunately, the episode soon introduces a cringe antagonist, and it becomes clear this is another revenge-driven story. The male lead channels full-on Vader-like brooding, while the female lead shows intelligence, but her playful energy occasionally comes across as overly childish. The cinematography is ambitious and visually appealing in moments, but the overall execution struggles to match the story’s tone. A promising premise that ultimately fails to land.
