Perhaps I'm burned out

It's the first time I ever write a review after watching only one episode of, actually, quite a promising looking series.

But I dropped immediately after around 40 minutes from the first episode.
Everything, as I have perceived...was a clear mess.

To be completely fair with this series, as I am aware that judging it over only the first episode does not sound like a very credible review at all, please just hear me out.
This series has every good ingredient. Good actors, good music, an averagely good story, good editing and.....nothing seems to fit together. In fact, many modern k-dramas seem to have everything on the surface, but are completely empty inside.

They are UN-HARMONIUS. None of the elemets mentioned above connect together in a harmonius manner. It's a mess.

I don't have the intelligence to use the best words to describe my experience. It is as if I already knew, by intuition, what this series was trying to do. It wanted me to use my brain to try and understand whatever the plot was trying to do, instead of giving me and laying me out the obvious. I was confused for 40 minutes, trying to figure out what was actually going on.

And because of the unharmonious elements (story, music, acting, pacing), something that on the surface looked promising (perhaps that's where the good reviews came from?), personally, I was bored out of my mind, and on top of that, the series didn't convince me to care about any of the characters at all.

It all felt like a tiring, messy and pointless dream.
