I wanted to love it so much…
I’m actually really sad I didn’t enjoy this more. It could be because this one of the dramas I was looking forward to & I had high expectations. JCW and HIY are high on my list of faves, I wasn’t disappointed in their acting here, but I don’t feel like the characters were written out that great. So much happened in the end, it felt rushed & left a few characters without closure.
I did enjoy the fact that it was a musical, fantasy genre. Some songs felt misplaced or a bit off to me but it wasn’t too bad. Def a handful of beautiful scenes where the cinematography was nice. I think overall, I felt that the characters & some parts of the storyline really needed some nuance. It could be it needed a few more episodes to be flushed out all the way. Seems that many folks enjoyed it & compared it to the webtoon—I think I might have to give the webtoon a shot. But as for the drama, it left me wanting so much more & it, unfortunately, was not memorable for me.
