Fashion Show or TV Drama?
Fashion show or Tv Drama is the question I was asking myself the entire time. "Veil of Shadows" is sister to "Fangs of Fortune" and cousin to "My Journey to you".
These Dramas have:
+Gorgeous, rich costumes.
+Beautiful actors, you would struggle to find someone normal looking. i really wanted to see one ugly side characters at least once :).
+Great fighting scenes.
+Flashy, well done special effects.
+Superb soundtrack.
-Weak story. Everyone dies but then you see them later making the impact of the sacrifice pointless. Both "Veil of Shadows" and "Fangs of Fortune" story telling consist of mini side plots, which look more like leveling quests to the 4 main characters where each quest ending with boss kill.
-Acting was flat, because of the way the drama is shot. You often see actors talking to camera ,making beautiful posing and shedding fake tears. Unfortunately you won't see ugly crying here, the tear drops fall in most beautiful way possible, like small crystals out of actors eyes.
-World is empty. You rarely see scenes where characters are walking on streets full with people living their lives and doing their business. Everything is too staged.
With all the fall backs this drama deserves good score and I understand why ppl would like it. I was a bit disappointed by the ending, but overall it is much better than other releases like "Blood River".
