Title Veil of Shadows
Visuals are what he’s known for and it seems he leaning into it and wants to go the “auteur” route and create…
Not so sure about the pacing part I don't find myself appreciating this I can't lie I loved FoF the way it started made sense this one however didn't hit the mark for me. There are a lof of scenes where it could have been scrapped and not made too long. I think he focused a lot not on the world building but rather on the aesthetic and beauty. Too much focus on actors make up, the way he made jjy speak so slowly and while I do get its made to fit her char as a nine tailed fox I think its still overdone.. The whole pacing is a mess, the story doesn't feel intersting at all with everything dragging I remember how insignificant the scene of jjy caught in the seal of the dragon deity palace and tjr walking to her ever so slowly just to say you've overstepped and while yes it tells things and all I get it but its was too stretched even a fashion show runaway is usually more fast paced than that you know? I just wanted to complain abt this cuz tbh while I appreciate the beauty of how he makes the world look and everything I feel like its too draggy for a drama. This is becoming like an upgraded version of indian series where they keep giving you shots from all sides. If he was going to do this I think he shouldve went with photography or done something else instead of a drama where events and the script is just as important.
