Emotional turmoil and visuals
Well, I liked it. I gave it 9. ML absolutely grat acting and being able to play two characters interchangably... convincing. What I liked a lot were costumes. In comparison to other period dramas, these had quite a modern take in it and I loved it. There is no need to be true to historic elements to a tee when presenting such a mistic world. And if I could address some of the comments in here on people skipping, or find it dragging, or repetitive with two identities switching, or.... I felt it was needed. Evil spirit needed time to move through his eveilness, falling in love, unrequited love, obsessing, trying to survive and live and keep K... all was needed to justify the end. As the main lead needed time to grow in strength, both mental and in a role of king without beeing opressed by his late father, and fix all his father's wrong doings, which he felt deeply ever since beeing a kid. Give this drama a go. Skip if you need to. I did. Most shaman stuff and the role they played in MLs growth were not of interest to me. I understand they were needed but to me the love and the sense of right vs wrong is what helped him overcome his weaknesses.
