Messy …
Acting + casting was great but damn did the plot have many holes in it.
No back story on who the Snow Man truly was and why Hongrang (little brother) saw him in his dreams.
Painter as a villain lacked a convincing villain arc, just felt very forced + cliche.
Jae-yi and Hongrang’s romance felt very rushed and almost out of nowhere, considering the lack of interactions they had for it to progress to the intensity it did was strange. Generally these types of dramas are more than 11 eps and are more like 20 episodes to fully flesh out the characters.
No closure on what happened to Knot-nim in the end. Also wished they would have dived more into In-hoe’s story.
The whole poisoning thing from the arsenic + alum made no sense that it had effects years later when in reality it would have had more immediate effects when they were children. Hongrang is fine for over a decade from the poisoning but suddenly starts feeling the effects. Genuinely made no sense.
The FL felt very weak and straight up stupid at times with how she’d constantly wander off alone with no proper weapons and acted all defenseless, constantly needing to be saved. In the 12 years when Hongrang went missing and she started her search for him I find it unbelievable she really didn’t learn any martial art skills considering the types of people she was interacting with in secret.
Overall very confusing and nonsensical plot that didn’t come together and felt incredibly rushed at times.
Sloppy script writing however the cast were excellent.
