I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA when you are bored with standard scenarios! :)

This is definitely not the best one that you can watch, but still worth your time. especially when you don't have anything else to watch.

+ The story is unique. Every character has the reason to be who they are. No one is only on the right or bad side. This fact makes everything stick to the whole point of this drama - no one is born evil or good - we re making our own path, thanks to our words and actions.
+ It is really touching and funny. It is always subjective - you will like it or hate it.
+ I adore the simple ending. I personally think, that we are left with something unspoken and in the same time everything was said. Some people in reviews said, that they wish, that the ending was longer, but it will be to cheesy and unnecessary. During the drama, characters said lots of the things about their future together, and you can simply imagine what could happen, if the story was continued.

- Sometimes I couldn't stand the LMD. At the beginning everything was fine, he was helpful and funny, but later it became creepy.
- I felt that in some parts the story were too fast, and in some episodes it was going slow. Especially in the end, when she was having those dragon powers again. Where did it came from? Why she realised it so fast? Why did she died? I remember one hint about "good" power coming to her unexpectedly, but for me it wasn't enough. When the final battle is happening you should have those breathtaking moments, tears, empowerment, joy or sadness. I was feeling that this drama, has many emotional moments, so I understand that is really hard to make better and better scenes, but the beginning and ending should be the cheery on top. They should add something more unexpected.

In conclusion: Good drama. Good chemistry. Nice CGI. Amazing actors.
