The Biggest Disappointment of this Year!!
I’m still trying to figure out if I liked this show or not!
When I read that the show has only 8 episodes, I was kind of disappointed; given the fact that it has an ensemble casting consisting of some of my favorite actors. I was like “I would only get to watch them together for 8 episodes, that’s bad”. When the show started, I had no idea about the storyline, so when they suddenly plunged us into a universe where powerless angels exist, I couldn’t make the head or tail of it. Above all, the fact that Park Hyung Sik was playing an antagonistic role was even more shocking. I have nothing against experimentation, but I just couldn’t look at his face and think “This guy is evil (I mean that’s a pretty handsome face after all)”. The story goes awry right from the pilot episodes since we are never given the proper introduction to the characters or their backgrounds. Instead of twelve zodiac angels, there are only eight ones existing. We don’t know what happened to the other four, except the fact that they are dead (makes you wonder, aren’t angels supposed to be immortal, can they be killed???). The show leaves you hanging with umpteen questions until the finale episode and even then, the ending is so rushed that it leaves you unsatisfied.
