Soul Transformation
The series started well. I expected a soul transformation in the first few episodes. It happened then. But it didn't continue. The series suddenly fell into a void, slowed down. It strayed from its subject. Things started happening that we didn't understand. It seemed a bit complicated. This stagnation continued until the last two episodes.
Was it a revenge series? Was it a series about a soul transformation and its consequences? Both were done together, but because it deviated from the spirit of the story, neither was fully realized or reflected. That's the kind of series I watched. If we look at it as a revenge series, the LEFT MINISTER in the series is indeed justified in wanting revenge. However, is it right to kill so many people and get involved in crime for the sake of a woman he loves? That's debatable. I don't think so. He became a tyrant. He became a murderer. He became a traitor. While he was a flower of love, he suddenly turned into a cruel tyrant. I think he wouldn't have done these things if he loved her. Because from the beginning, he doesn't have a feeling of revenge against the king. The king takes the woman he loves from him and marries her. However, when rumors spread about him and he is condemned to death, the Left Minister opposes the killing of the woman he loves. He sees that the king doesn't love the woman, but loves his throne. Then he takes revenge. He takes the throne from him. He kidnaps the woman, claiming he killed her. While this is somewhat true up to this point, his subsequent threats against the other king, the killing of many lives, his tyranny, smuggling, treachery, and many other crimes cannot be reconciled with love and revenge. I also couldn't understand the logic of him wanting to marry his daughter to the crown prince. He had the opportunity; he could have become king. Instead of being the king's father-in-law, he should have become king. There's a contradiction here.
The body-swapping started and ended. The role changes in the body-swappings made us laugh and entertained us. But sometimes I found nothing to enjoy. At one point, the series slowed down. They went into extra time. There were the Zen bird absurdities. In the final episodes, they even experienced soul-swapping while dying. That became a bit too fantastical. I think the series failed to deliver what the audience wanted. It was incomplete, flawed. I liked the actors, except for the King. Even at the beginning, I couldn't reconcile the actions of the Left Minister's daughter with the actress cast in that role. The villainous role didn't suit Hong Su Zu.She improved later; she became angelic, a good character. She fit the role perfectly. My rating for this series is 7.5.
