Well my opinion will be totally different - but nothing new cause I like more dramas coming this year which I have watched. First thing which in my opinion is important to point out is that this one was overhyped. People hyped it so much before the release - even before trailer - simply because of "expensive" cast (yeah I hate that, just say good or popular actors, expensive really annoyes me). Because of that hype people were dissapointer, they expected something what never was even promised.
In my opinion - as someone who had a lot of going on, watched it without any expectation (but yeah I watched because of Seo In Guk, Park Hyung Sik and Ma Dong Seok) and needed something to relax - I simply enjoyed it.
Also important to point out is that it had a little different filming style? It was totally as playing a game, this is how fighting scenes lookes and how story moved - and that can also be a reason why some people did not like it. Personally I love it. CGI was not as bad as people say, outfits were good (pretty realistic), plot some people will like some not, you just need to check for yourself - but if you expect dissapointment then there is no way to avoid it. The only thing which I can agree which would work probably better for general public was to make it a movie (although personally I prefer series). It can work well with second season but open ending/cliffhanger is also good.
I have nothing bad to say about acting - it was good, in the end we had really good cast. To not spoil anything I will talk about my favourite actors/characters:
1. SIG - I did not expected his character to be ...hmm guffy? but still really liked him here
2. PHS - well he never was a villain, he lost his way but still did nothing really bad (one more thing which people found dissapointed only because they expected some crazy bad guy - reminder that you also did not really like his villain arc in Burried Hearts....)
3. MDS - he is so cute eventhough that he played a tougth guy
4. Lee Joo Bin - this girls is literally killing this year!! (first Lee Dong Wook as love interest, now PHS. Also SIG as a friend) She's getting all the hot gyus, go girl!!! but I have to admit that I expected a little more action for her character, a little more badass
5. Kang Mi Na - she played perfectly a "dog" angel, she was totally giving a puppy and loving vibe, love her reunion with SIG (but same company and were giving sibling vibe - so I think we can see it a lot)
6. Sung Yoo Bin - and the one I did not know but caught my attention, I just like white haired characters (what can I do), he also gave a little of Suga vibe (so again, my bias, what can I do).
To sum up - do not only read reviews or tiktok opinions, always check for yourself and go with clear mind, to judge it without any prejudgments.
