GREAT PRODUCTION AND ROWOON NAILED IT
First off, the production is superb! From the wardrobe and makeup to the settings, and locations, everything looks realistic which is amazing and it fits the tone of the story perfectly.
The drama mainly focuses on the three characters whose stories are connected through revenge, loyalty, and survival. Si Yul, a man who has trauma and loses his friends and is consumed by the need to avenge them. The death of his friends was truly heartbreaking and became the turning point for his character. The other two leads also have solid roles that add meaning to the story.
The show’s world, filled with barbarians, corrupts, and chaos. The fight scenes are amazing, the choreography is smooth, and very satisfying to watch. I also love the chemistry among the cast, especially the gang. Their bond felt genuine, and there were even small bits of humor.
Rowoon absolutely nailed this role. It’s definitely one of his most mature performances so far, you can really feel his emotions and inner conflict. The story itself is straightforward, no confusing twists or overcomplicated plots. I think in my opinion, this needs season 2 , as there are other unanswered happening in the story.
I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re expecting something super intense or mind blowing. It’s not that type of drama. But it’s still a good watch, solid, and made better by Rowoon’s presence and the overall production quality.
Plot 7.5/10
Acting and Characters 8.5/10
Cinematography 9/10
Writing 8/10
Pacing 8/10
OST/Score 8/10
Overall 8
