The only actress I really miss is the one who played Chaeeun. I liked her, she brought a presence for her small screentime.

I'm only reminded of Ji Won bcz Sae Kyeong is so lacking in expression for Tanya's character (her chemistry with Eunseom too is a little off bcz of that-_-). And little bit of Song Joon Ki in Saya, I mean LJG is good (I dream of him playing an antihero), but I liked the undercurrent of psychotic madness in the more subtle, low voiced Saya. And as blown off as I was by the first two episodes, at episode 5 this show is back to its stupid old track of unbelievably bad writing.

This Wahan tribe is literally the most disgusting people. This Mung Tae, Tanya's dad - worst part is she never points out how fucked up her tribe is. She just listens with half shocked teary eyes...🙄 When she should be shocked and dumbfounded and angry beyond herself.

Last season they changed their flag overnight, maybe they just got tired of the makeup in 8 years-_-

I love Joon Gi (practically the reason why I got into the show), but Shin Sae Kyoung was just too bland, all this drama has is acting, it just can't survive her I feel like-_-

Ahh...makes sense. The plot was a mess but they were still so committed, I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

And exactly why did the leads refuse to reprise their roles? Just curious. After all that work, they didn't feel like finishing it...?

Why did Tagon and Taealha become foes out of nowhere at the end of the first season? Taealha's dad is one of the shittiest guys in the show (and that's smth cz all the characters are doing smth awful when they have time🙄) and he deceived Tagon, wanted to kill him, still came out unharmed, Tagon was distraught from killing a bunch of people...then he made that Mungtae dude literally crush a bunch of people in court, then suddenly he became king (to me his eyes looked dead from grief, to Mihol they looked like Wang's eyes🙄). Suddenly he's with Saya, he wants the secret of Hae tribe. But what's so wrong with that? They could still get married, rule together. Exactly what made them enemies? So much so, they literally fought for 8 years...what exactly did they want? Eliminate each other? And Tagon keeps saying they're the type to save their own skin, but Taealha risked her life quite a few times to save him...these stupid inconsistencies, and then building really tense scenes out of these flimsy stuff...drains me.

Idk how to rate this at this point. The first 15 episodes were so good...I couldn't comprehend how they ended up ruining it. I've been waiting for the drag that others warned off with a fearful heart hoping that it's untrue...but...-_-
The locations, visual and especially the music is stunning. I really loved the Sleepy Hollow vibe of the supernatural mystery and scenic horse rides in the marshes. Also, Lee Joon Gi sported some really pretty hanboks in this show.
The leads are charming. Their bickering was literally the heart of the show. I loved how playful Kim Eun Ho is and how straight forward and absolutely cute Arang is.
Because I was expecting it, I even bore through the imperfect later episodes, but they literally fucked this amazing show up in the last episode. If it didn't have that last 4 redeeming minutes at the end, I'd have cried about my bad judgement. It was still better than the vampire show, I think.
I wish Lee Joon Gi gets to be in a drama where I can't complain about the plot even if I make it my mission. The guy deserves it, a career defining stellar work.
8/10 feels like a lot but it's for originality and really nice acting by the leads.

Thank you. I think I'll give it a go. I fast forwarded through the first 4 episodes; I get the intricacy part you mentioned. My qualm with the plot is that they could just make a fantasy drama, why'd they have to bring historical, geological epochs into it? Makes it a little stupid imo but whatever I guess. The acting and tone wasn't bad and you're liking this season better so why not...I'll get into it. Thanks again:)

Thanks. Can't forgive the plot but if the acting is gripping, I'm onboard. I hate bad shows, but what I hate more is when good artists are wasted in bad projects.

Okay I need to know how good this is. I'm stalking Lee Joon Gi, and him in a double role seemed like smth to check out. But 18 hours of season 1 is a big price to pay. I checked the show out, acting is nice but the plot and premise is just ridiculous. This fake af bronze age is hard as a rock to swallow. So, how is this season? I saw people not liking the female lead's acting. Should I waste all that hours of my life to come watch this?

Episodic feel is nice, the overarching connections too. I loved it. Nice production imo. Should've had more episodes by all means. Had to watch it without subtitles which is my only complaint about the viewing experience. Nothing amateur about it.

Why in Korean dramas the psychopaths are never really psychopaths? They are truly functional people who deliberately act emotionless as a defense mechanism, and there's always a family member that makes them become like this...It's a dogma at this point.
And this Gang Tae dude...why the fuck is he so annoying?!!!😑The moment I decide okay he learned, got better, he relapses. His annoying af character is the only flaw of this drama...He's the sickest guy in the entire drama but pretends to be better than others🙄His fluffy cheeks are literally ripe for slaps😫

Who's the actress that plays Izy? The lady in red?

Not the same school, same psyche doctor.
Yeah, that coincidence is lousy, but as I said, some of those lousy parts I ignored for the greater pleasure. I wrote a review stating that, you can take a look.

Look, the drama was good enough for me to ignore some lousy parts through suspension of disbelief. What you pointed out isn't even one of those 'lousy parts'. Though I'm not a fan of the later sob fest but people restraining, not expressing or compartmentalizing their emotions happen quite often. Hyun Su has anti-social personality disorder, lost his mom pretty young and most importantly had a psychopath murderous dad who was emotionally training and draining him. He just internalized what everyone was accusing him of, I don't think that's so hard to believe. He told himself he's mimicking a tutorial video when in fact he wasn't.

I feel like I enjoyed this review more than I'd enjoy the show😁 Nice write-up💚

The idea of the show is that he deceived himself into thinking that he can't feel, bcz that's what everybody said and bcz it was easier. When in truth he can, and very much does.

Is it good? Never really tried Chinese dramas...I don't know why but smth doesn't click... Should I go for it? I'm looking forward to a good plot, good acting, engaging arcs I think.

Happy, very happy. It's a low stake drama but initially it seems better, probably the reason people are a little disappointed. Nothing revolutionary or even good but it filled up my Mondays and I enjoyed a few performances so, I'd say if you want smth light it's not that bad.
