The incredible chemistry between the lead actors made this drama so enjoyable for me. The story had some undeniable flaws but the moments Nok Du looked at Dong Joo I was forgetting my own name and just enjoying their interactions. I loved how despite the actors'/characters' young ages they were given so sensual and straightforward romantic scenes. Because it was exactly how falling in love feels - you always want to be together, you want to kiss, you want to sleep together even it's not appropriate. Maybe such things were too frivolous for historical drama but it's the tale in the end. I hope more korean dramas will be such open minded in romantic aspect. Paying my respects to casting director, that person did excellent job!
The thing is boring as hell. There was no need in 6 episodes, all events could feet in 3 episodes lossless. And still it would be boring as hell. Actually the series look like fantasy live-action for children, with low budget setting. "Thriller, Horror, Drama" tags are the biggest lies I've seen in this 2020 year (okay, there were a few horror screamers in ep1, which hyped me up and made finish the series). The detective arc seemed completely unnecessary and poorly done. The acting also was so-so. I had a feeling that Chris Wu can do so much better but he was stucked within this absurd comic role. Never thought I would be so disappointed in Netflix.
The 2nd season seems as good for me as the first one. The s1 romance was more mature and passionate, the s2 couple gives more college young and delicate vibe and I'm completely OK with it. We still have 6 episodes to develope the romance as they already have setted solid foundation for it (more solid than for s1 couple I have to say). And I really love the chemistry between Woo Jin and Eun Jae. As for political side of story it seems more logical in this season because we clearly know why Do Yoon Wan hates Kim Sa Bu and Doldam hospital. And I loved that the character like doctor Park has appeared as a villian figure considering he's not the true villian and it seems he will change the sides in the end. It's so more interesting story arc than some greedy villian whose motivation ends on money and power.
