It was meh
I was so close to dropping the drama by episode 6, but pushed through. The special effects were often cringy, the green screen had many holes and backgrounds looked fake, and the acting was often overdone. I stayed for the female lead and overall thought she was a likeable character.
I didn't think most of the romance was particularly good and there were way, way too many flashbacks of things we had just seen. I skipped through some of the scenes and think this drama easily could have been 5 or even 10 episodes shorter. Some of the plotlines were recycled throughout the story, and for some of it I couldn't tell if it was intentional or not.
Overall, I think this drama had potential but I got really tired of seeing the same kiss over and over and people spitting up blood 5 times an episode. It just lost meaning over time since it was so overused. Moderation is key to everything.
The costumes were beautiful and I enjoyed some songs (a couple kind of ruined the moments because of the cheesy song choice in the moment). Overall, whoever was in charge of costumes did an amazing job. I wish a couple of the songs were not used in the OST since it did sour my experience. Many of the orchestral songs were beautiful.
Overall, this was a mediocre show with poor chemistry between the leads most of the time (the pacing of the romance was also off at times) and I was hooked just enough to finish watching it to find where it went.
Spoiler:
During the last scene (during the last shot), I literally said "oh my GOD" in a slightly annoyed voice out loud. How could the show end like that? That was so unsatisfying.
