Watchable although the starting is quite dull.

The story is like "The Eternals" of Marvel comics/movies.
The 12 are angels; animals, but in human form, living alongside humans. They were sent to earth to defeat satan, but lost most of their powers and are now living on earth. They rise/unite only when humans need them to defend themselves from evil entities.

They start the show with only 9 angels, don't know where the other 3 are. And 2 powerful devils. One is like a snake and the other is like a crow or bat (dunno). Quite similar to Lucifer.
It's watchable but it is quite dull. They are all suffering from boredom, and some are very depressed.
If we think of them as supernatural beings like Monkey King, Gumiho, Tiger spirit, Rabbit and Goat spirit, it will be easier to explain. Much like the K-drama A Korean Odyssey (2017).
I think they couldn't deliver the concept to us properly, and a lot of details are missing.

This drama has the potential. It just has to be delivered properly. This is my review after watching 2 eps. Still rooting for it to get better.

**Update** -> Nah, it's bad. Nothing makes sense. 80% of the story is missing, and it seems like they handed us a story with no backstory or beginning. I was hoping they would show us everything over time, but they didn't. The ending hints that they will carry on their angelic works, and Mir is kidnapped again. Which is the dumbest kdrama character EVER! TBH, idk why people are saying their acting is bad. Their acting was splendid, but the story was cut out everywhere. I mean, if Samin is human, how did he survive hundreds of years? No explanation for that. If the 4 angels were dead, and Samin revived them, shouldn't they be gone with Samin when he died? Why was Mir's power not sealed by god?? They said Ogwi is human, so why does he have powers and wings like a crow? Was he a discarded angel? And how the heck do rooster and rabbit powers seem unbeatable in front of dog, horse, snake and monkey powers combined??? So many more questions, but no explanation.

If you are really, really, really bored and drunk, you will enjoy this.
