full of god-awful wigs and those horrendous costumes, for an 8-episode series there were so many repetitive scene and the sets - its like they only booked 4 or five locations to shoot this whole thing. I really feel bad for all the actors especially SIG and PHS it feels like they were cornered to accept this role just because of MDS.
Ma Dong Seok has delivered as a one-two punch of really awful movie and series with Holy Knight and this series. Is he trying to ruin his otherwise illustrious career?
he is not even the villain, the trailer sold us that he is going to go against MDS and that was an exciting storyline, unfortunately someone else with a little less star power could have played his role.
Theres always a lot of good and bad things to say about Domundi shows but you cant deny they do try their best and it shows in their last few shows. The production quality is good and the costumes (especially in the flashback scenes) are exquisite just like in the production and costume design in The Next Prince. it is beautifully shot and you can see that they do spend a lot in their series.
Domundi is Bishonen-izing their characters to delineate gender differences - and i think they are mainly catering to BL fans who love Japanese yaoi. It can be good or it can also be detrimental to gay advocacies thats why the division of fans. but I think most of their writers live in their own rainbow bubble where gender issues and realities dont exist.
Its rare to see a show that you get attached to almost all characters. The second and third couple are all lovable too. The family dynamics for the characters are also very well portrayed. I just feel a little bad for Biu because i thik shes the only one without her parents (or have i missed it from earlier episodes?).
To be honest the show is a little too slow for me but it is slow for its own good.
Im just hoping more people will find and watch this because this one deserve a far higher rating than what it is now.
The last scene in ep 6 made it clear THEY didn’t save the world. Taesan saved the world alone, with 1 punch.…
Exactly, i dont know whay they made the story about 12 angels when they could have made a more focused story and centered it all to Taesan. The other characters are all useless in the grand scheme of things.
Absolute waste of the superstar cast. I dont even know why PHS and SIG took on their roles, whoever advised them to take this should be fired. Casting Na In Woo as an extra - for real? You cant even call that a cameo.
No character is making a mark and no one is likeable enough. The action scenes are awkward and laughable at best. Costumes are aweful espcially for the flashback scenes.
The fact that the entire 6 episode could have been compacted to 2 proves that they have a very thin narrrative to tell despite the fact that the story is masquerading as a grand epic story spanning characters who lived for millenias. This may have been better as a movie instead of stretching it all to a series whitout any substance.
I’m going to be so heartbroken once aejun finds out siyeol’s intentions😭😭
im there with you, i dont think i cant take the devastationAe Jun will feel once he finds out he is being toyed bySi Yeol. How they will resolve this revelation can either make this one of the best or one of the worst BL this year. I shouldnt have started watching it cause it is such a pain waiting for the next episodes.
Its definitely not bad i can see the good intention of the story arcs - but sometimes the payoff isnt very satisfying. One issue is sometimes the actors can be very amatuerish and robotic except for Flute who is definitely doing all the heavy lifting so far. There are so many quirks that i love like that scene in the bar after the first trio played and they were dividing the money and Biu was given nothing that was hilarious like something that can happen in real life.
For now id say im enoying it, I wonder why they didnt list the name oif the director here in MDl i want to see his previous works ust to compare.
This has some weird plot holes. Win would have know Chai's mom had a drinking problem if he was as good as a friend…
Actually when Win gave Chai's mom that liqour i t hought to myself what an evil nasty boy this WIn is - sacrificing people's lives for his stalkerish love for Nut.
But then again he may have known some things in the past but not all the details so probably he ust didnt know that detail.
they both look better. many gmmtv stars have some work done (which is totally fine!)
i feel like Keen still looked the same cutie as he was in Only Boo, but Sea changed quite a bit. i actually liked Keen more before but now i cant take my eyes off Sea
I dont know if im glad that this will be the first part of the anthology with only 4 episodes or im sad that there will only be 4 episodes. I thought the pacing was quite fast and to find out that they will only hae 4 episodes explained it. I missed SeaKeen and im so happy to see them working again..
Is it just me or did Sea looked a little bit better with this haircut? He looked hotter like this.
Amazing 2 episodes. Yoon A is just perfect for the role, and Chae MIn really loooks dreamy as a king.
i loved the banter between the king and the royal secretary. They really look like best friends and the secretary is realy looking after the king's welfare and doing his bidding. I think the secretary is the kings strongest ally in the kingdom.
It will be a pain to watch 2 episodes per week, i promised never to torture myself and start a good kdrama until it finishes airing but damn this is so good i cant wait for the next.
And yeah, 8 is not right for this drama. It should be higher
why do most of the new dramas have such a low rating? :(
its a shame cause t his drama was so highly anticipated but it was kinda meh and boring tbh. None of the characters are actually engaging not even MDS. By this time he has done so many similar characters this one isnt a standout

And oh goodness, i really cant say enough how gorgeous Chae Min looks as a king

Sea's acting is insane and is probably one of the better actors in the newer GMMTV stars now.
