it's not a bad show - but there is so much room for improvement, and with the hand that the producers are dealt (having yin and war as the main actors) they are not utilizing it well at all. the two are an incredible pair and there's only so much acting that can save this lowkey lame and almost weird script. the storyline is honestly fine, but the characters they've made and the plot points they have developed so far don't appeal to me at all. they have a lot of borderline harassment from thear's side towards mungkorn and the extremely overused miscommunication trope in episode 6 just pissed me off. i also don't like the overly shy/timid/cute virgin type character they've given mungkorn - or at least the way they're working with it. he's a grown man and very few of them, let alone a sergeant, would act that way. they undermine his ability because he is so "soft" and then contradict it by adding a line here and there about how being soft doesn't mean weak. i'm glad at least though, that this trope of his is not overdone - it's there and it can be worked well because it's degree is not too strong. unfortunately, they are not working with it well. as for thear's character - he's okay i guess. his reputation as a playboy isn't exactly off-putting because he's not shown to be a bad person per se, but the last part of episode 6 was extremely unnecessary and that conflict could've been solved with 10 minutes of talking to each other. i understand that thear doesn't want to force mungkorn to "become one" or whatever, but whatever pathway he took otherwise is not the only other alternative.
i also feel that their closeness and relationship wasn't developed very organically as i'd hoped. they randomly started liking each other and acting like a couple and even using the label (but they have not explicitly stated they are together) even though the marriage was purely contract-based and nothing else.
i'm holding out just for the sake of yin and war - in the hopes that the second half of the show can perform somewhat better than the first half has. let's see.
