Sheer amount of lost potential is sickening

This drama has all the makings to be a great story. A-list cast with well-rounded characters and mega-fantasy storyline that already hooks the audience. This went entirely downhill because the setup was simply too perfect. In the effort to be and do everything, it all got lost in translation.

A handsome king coming from another world to see his savior police woman? Chemistry thrown down the trash over emphasis on the complexities of parallel world intricacies, hidden murderous uncle, and time travel. There was no patience for the director to guide the audience through what was happening and everything was being thrown at you in the name of shock value.

Overall, a hard watch with the over-complicated, layered plot that kept building to a unsatisfying and boring ending.
