GASP
This was a great drama, one of the best of the season surely. The first episode truly got me in a chokehold that I watched the episode twice in a row.The ML, truly, shined in the show but I felt like it slowly died as the episodes went on. His looks, fierceness, and skills in the first episode were outstanding. However, slowly, they dimmed his shine and power. I understand the intention and metaphors behind those, yet I would appreciate it if there were more fierceness from him. His grey hair and spear were something else. I know there were reflections of this blind rage and revenge, but it was them that got me hooked on the show.
FL was not disappointing at all. She was a great choice and upheld her ground without slipping into any sort of stupidity. She was great. However, the leads were lacking major chemistry points in my review. Sometimes, even tension is superb chemistry but I could not feel it in the show and I felt robbed. It is my own view, of course, maybe others felt the opposite. They were amazing together and there were some moments of it, but overall, I did not feel the intensity of the emotions.
The cinematography was spectacular. I saw some BTS and all that dedication paid off, surely. Especially in the first parallel. I wish this dedication was reflected in the couples' chemistry, 34 episodes are not short to only see scheming and planning. The story did not get too outrageous or too straight. It made me laugh, yell, and tense over the course of episodes.
This show made it to my top 5 this year. I really liked it and hope we can see more of these in the future.

This had so much potential!
This is one of my first reviews ever, but I felt the need to write about this so bad.The first couple of episodes were incredibly well done and enticing; however, it slowly starts the go down. The story started really interesting and the cinematography was incredible! The shots and the acting what really kept me going for this one. And I really liked that the story did not go in circles and issues were resolved as quickly (sometimes too quickly).
Yet the writing through the end was really upsetting. Resolving the issues that started the story was a great move but stretched far too long. It bored me so much. It was sad to see that such good drama was butchered with the writing at the end.
What really kept me on the show was the acting! It was truly a pleasure to watch the FL and ML (especially him) act so genuinely. Every time ML had blurry eyes, right on point, I had blurry eyes. I liked their acting, I would watch everything with them in it. I cannot praise this enough.
How I hope that one day I will be able to see not annoying acting with not annoying writing!
