Pace yourself for fudge sake

I love this drama a lot, many will slap me for this.....but I have to say that I prefer Veil of Shadow over Pursuit of Jade, tho' to be fair both kinda different genre of fantasy. The biggest problem with VoS was with the pacing, probably due constraint of 29 episodes so they had to jammed packed everything making it neck-breaking pace, and never actually to fleshed out everything. They had solid plot but they tried to brought everything in 29 episodes that gave viewers whiplash.....so understandably some might see it as bad story and hard to understand. Some viewers might not enjoying skip everything no need to breath fast pace story.
Ending wise, I like it better than that pit of despair FoF or whatever that was MJtY. Inline with GJM brand bittersweet open ending, but very hopeful.
The music.....kinda meh and annoying but not like killing the whole story.
I have no complain about beautiful cinematography or beautiful actors and actresses that all over the place.
