Lacklustre script with an extremely slow and boring start with most of the episodes being subpar.

This show looked promising from the trailers, so me and my friends took the plunge on this. (This is probably my first time watching any show without waiting for it to complete airing)
AND is also the first show I've found to be severely lacking in direction. It's an extremely slow start from episode 1 to 9-12-ish. It took a total of about 10-11 episodes for us to get an idea what the hell was going on and the direction of the show.

From there, there's only about 1 episode which we found to be keeping our asses at the edge of our seats and we thought to ourselves that it's only going to get better from here. But HELL no. Right after that 1 episode (which I think was episode 11 or 12), the direction of the show goes back to that slow start and from episode 13 onwards, it seems to be repeating whatever happened in the initial episodes. E.g Main character backstabs another main character and this continues towards the last few episodes of this show. The romance in this show was nearly non-existence since everyone's fighting "in the name of dark love".

To summarize. this show disappointed us, if not for the 2x fast forward/speed up button, we wouldn't have made it through. Some of my friends were interested in the FL (we agree she looks f-ing cute) and the ML. We all agree, if not for them we wouldn't have made it through the entire show. Unfortunately good casting, is unable to save a show with a boring script. If you're in it for looks of the actress or the actor, check this show out, but now that I've watched this show, I can't recommend it. I will probably forget what this show is about after 1-2 weeks as it is not memorable. Will check out the FL's other shows.
