The opinions on this show are really polar - people either really love it or really hate it. I don't get the hate. I rate this as an in-between. This show is entertaining but not something I'd want to rewatch. But it's tonnes better than Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 which I wouldn't even call a drama. I'd call that a series of comedy skits - strung together pieces of acting that don't have a cogent storyline or plot. It's just watching famous actors say stupid lines with a nice backdrop for scenery. And that got a 8.8, go figure.

This is similar - famous actors and very nice scenery (ep1 in Dubai), however, has a semblance of a plot. The hate probably comes from the fact that there's no young love and young idols to swoon at, and has an anti-social theme. I do notice that fantastic anti-social dramas that feature blood, gore and murder tend to do very poorly on this platform. However the humour is on-point. I love the clever in-jokes eg the digs at the whole Marvel vs Netflix universes and copyright! Maybe I'm also partial to shows set in the countryside.

The only downside is that everything quite verbose and it makes my head hurt. Thankfully the entire season has dropped all at once. I wouldn't be wanting a second season but I enjoy binge-watching this.
