Way too short
I never thought I say a kdrama was too short. They do have a tendency to needlessly drag but this was pulled at a sprint that got confusing, and really really needed fleshing out.
The idea was great, the cast was enticing, the action and fight scenes in the first episode were good.
Up to episode 5 the back story was hopeful and the present time seemed like it would develop nicely. However, I had to look up who half the characters represented, I didn’t understand why they had the powers they had, and the back story was patchy.
Episode 5 then really confused me, after the credits the girls are camping, we’re told that the boys are in another country. Mirr has a vision of them all injured, the title page comes on and suddenly they’re all mid fight!!!! Some at their headquarters, some in the market. And from then on it was rushed and anticlimactic.
They went on about the awesome dragon power of Mirr, the antagonist wanted her power to be all powerful, yet she did nothing. She was like a simping, feeble lead in a bad melodrama. Her supposed power was never ever apparent.
The other angels were not utilised enough and Ogwi was an almost entirely pointless character.
It had so much potential; an episode dedicated to each angel would have been amazing, a closer look at their relationships with each other, including the dead ones, having it be a procedural ‘catch the baddies’ type show for the first half and then - characters cemented, relationships established, back stories explained - the demons return and they get their powers back to fight them again. But no…
And the dead ones coming back to them would have been more poignant had these things been shown and developed. But it was just meh…no peril because I didn’t really care. And the others coming back didn’t make sense nor was it moving.
The whole thing was quite disjointed - especially episode 5.
Just could have been so much better.
