Slow pacing, flat characters, and just okay execution
This drama only has 6 episodes, but it felt like I was watching a 100-episode series. The pacing was painfully slow, and I honestly wanted to skip through a lot of scenes. It only started to get better in the last two episodes.
The CGI and action scenes were okay—very animated in style. Maybe my standards are just higher after watching Alchemy of Souls, but this one didn’t give me that “wow” factor.
The overall cinematography and tone felt dull, and while the story had potential, the execution was lacking. Something just felt missing.
I’m a longtime fan of Kim Nam Gil (since QSD), but this character didn’t suit him. He spent most of the time brooding and frowning—typical tragic backstory type, but not very compelling.
As for Lee Da Hee, I liked her in I Hear Your Voice, but this role didn’t work for her. Her character was the most boring in the whole drama. The constant hair-fixing, failed “girl boss” moments, and awkward comedic scenes made it hard to watch.
Surprisingly, Eun Woo stood out. I’m not a fan of his previous works, but he fits this priest role really well. The whole “handsome priest” setup with those sexy shots was clearly intentional, and it worked. He reminded me of the ML from the manhwa Black Winter.
I won’t rewatch this, but it wasn’t bad enough for me to drop either. I’m curious how Season 2 will go—hopefully with better pacing and stronger character development.
