I was kind of surprised that for some reason, I've grown to really like it and was determined to give it a 10 star rating. But then the final episode happened and I don't think, that making Ki Ga Yeong a genie was a right decision...all the more, that it kinda misses the point that only Iblis is supposed to be able to make those wishes and it fails to explore the moral consequences those wishes have - all the more when the wishes are meant to corrupt a person. So that point was a let down for me.
I even thought about giving it a 9 star rating at some point but damn I am SO dissappointed by that last episode...THAT was the BIG finale the whole 16 episodes build up towards??? THIS? ...what a joke
Pretty much interesting concept. But the last episode left me so confused, I had to search for the explanation in the comments. Now I get it...I think. Definitely going to rewatch some time tho.
I went in with zero expectations, but this was so bad. Bad plot with bad dialogues, bad costumes of the knights, badly explained. Also lack of exploring motivations of the characters and their growth. The only good part was the acting of Mackenyu.
It could have had potential but it was wasted. I would like if they had explored more of Nero's (Phoenix's) character - he was interesting and also had chemistry with others. It was hinted it would have a sequel, but I don't see where they would get a budget, considering better sagas have failed to continue.
This was kinda enjoyable watch, but not quite as enjoyable as the ratings make it to be. The younger cast of the main characters was captivating. But even tho people say the adult version of them was overflowing with chemistry, well not for me, I kinda didn't feel it. The best character in this series for me was Takashi's assistant who was slaying and then Sugimoto, who's character was interesting, but not explored enough. And I think they did a poor job explaining what happened in the past, that was kinda not explaining enough for me. I gave it 7/10
It started off with the aspiration for 10/10 rating. I absolutely loved the first few episodes. It was level korean BL good. No hate for thai BLs, but korean BLs just have that vibe that hits different and I'm here for it. But then it kinda lost its magic. Ep4 felt like they changed the director or something, it turned weird from then on and kinda lost me.
The editing sucks. This series has such an interesting idea and good chemistry between the actors, but the editing feels so random. It feels like they just put random scenes together while missing proper timeline. Like the story line doesn't match the scenes and some of the scenes are missing. It was frustrating to watch like that. They could have done much better if they replaced all the unneccessary filler scenes with meaningful scenes explaining what was actually happening.
Also the pilot episode had better vibe than the actual series. The series would have made more sense, if they stuck to that. The characters and actors are the only thing that's saving this series. First was absolutely precious and deserved better.
Ugh I was so annoyed with the police on having to do the re-enactment like some criminal as if they weren't taking…
I just realized he had that mark also when he was little, so probably a birth mark... I understood he was raped or used by someone after, during his adolescence/early adulthood. About the removing of makeup I'm not sure either, interesting question.
Idk about the manga, I'm not familiar with it, but go for it, good luck :)

I think it's obvious now that he didn't do it, but at that time it wasn't at all. No, I did not notice it. Did the movie explained why Kai had that mark on his face tho?
