The show is entertaining so far, albeit too long and filled with awful characters, but the acting is legitimately…
The acting was just fine imo. They are extremely strict in korea with the cast choice, especially if its a high budget series like this one. Nothing that bothered me at all.
I keep reading these news that Park Seo Joon is "confirmed" for all kind of projects, but I don't see anything with him actually coming out. Isn't he in america now probably studying english? LOL
This does definitely not deserve 8.7. Too much talking/unnecessary scenes and for being a "murder mystery" plot, the twists aren't good enough. Not even "the big" reveal of the murderer was exciting... just like "oh it was him after all? Meh..."
Maybe if it was cut down to 8 eps it would have left a better impression.
I honestly don't get the negative reviews. I find myself siding with the critics here. This entire show is a narrative…
It was in development hell due to a covid break which literally destroyed the project, that's why it after 3 eps looses half of the cast and totally changes direction, and just feels like a mess. It wouldn't surprise me if they even in secret let a trainee ghost write the last 3 terrible episodes. CGI was also ridiculous. But great if you liked it, for me it has the be one of the worst kdramas ever. I feel bad for the actors.
I agree. This obviously should have been 12 eps. The "final conflict" with the FL felt very forced and even frustrating. Also at some point I think they went "too wild", I mean lightsabers.. lol
The OST is absolutely amazing and I have the songs on spotify, but I think they played them a bit too much towards the end. Joo Ra In has to be one of the most irritating filler characters ever.
If you like Jung Kyung Ho this is a must watch tho, as most of the best scenes in the drama involve him and his expressions. Ah, also, if you can get past some frustrating eps in the second half, the last episode is good and satisfying! So a bit of a mixed bag, sadly. I would still recommend giving it a watch if you have nothing else on your list.
