This is how to provide high quality and uncompromised tv series. It has back story, beginning, middle, and end. If this would have been adapted by western producers, they might have stretched it to 4 or 5 seasons/years.

The cast and crew gave their all. Sure the visual effects could have been better, some actors could have performed a bit more, final 15 episodes could have tightened the flow with more actions than just mostly revealing conversations. No show is perfect anyway.

The writers took advantage of the censorship and turned it into opportunity to be more creative and unique story telling.
