Climbing up to 8.4, well deserved! While it might not be perfect, for the first time in many years we get a well written fantasy from South Korea! Congrats!
Should easily sit at 8.5 currently, could be an 8.8 up to the second half and ending. This is one of the best korean fantasy dramas in years! Not often you see good writing in a fantasy drama.
I wouldn't say it deserves a higher rating. As someone else mentioned it really drags on. Maybe one of the slowest dramas I've ever watched, truly snail-pace. Many full episodes just feel like a bunch of repeated scenes and situations. Also, almost all characters are unlikeable/horrible/annoying and you can't relate to anyone. The plot itself is standard makjang stuff. Even the last episode is boring AF.
There are so many other good dramas out there so you can easily skip this one.
Why couldn't they write it a bit better? Why couldn't they explain a bit more? Why couldn't they make a more satisfying ending? I am sure this cost super much to make and the cast is amazing... just why?
