the idea is there but the execution is weak

It has some good moments and the leads carry the show with their presence, but god damn i just can't do with dramas where the worldbuilding is introducing big concepts without explaining them or having clear rules, the internal logic just falls apart and it drives me crazy.
I also wish that the initial betrayal (the foundation for the entire plot) would hit more. As a viewer I want to feel for my male lead, but it feels undeveloped. I didn't witness the love, the build up that led to this betrayal, so i'm having a hard time to believe it throughout the story. His trauma is more of a concept :/ We have better foundation for the female lead, which makes me feel for her better, but overall i wouldn't recommend it, although it does have some good moments.
