i watched this in 2021...somehow i don't really feel the urge to watch this sooner. after subscribe on netflix, and searching for a drama, i found this and i think i'll give it a try....

STORY
the story itself is promising, in some parts, for example about the AR game, and everything about the AR, but...there's a huge hole about how they ended the drama.
1. the drama has an open end, and...i don't really like open end drama
2. all the problem is solved, but...without proper explanation. they should explain it in detail, and cutting some reminiscent scene.
3. i really really love the AR part...fighting and the grand idea about it. the execution towards the end is depressing.
4. i really love hyun bin storyline, really hate park shin hye part.

ACTING
i agree with some other review with hyun bin amazing acting, but park shin hye make me depressed. as i watch this, i think :
1. maybe the drama will be better without Female Lead as i feel that her presence more like supporting female and sometime she just being a burden.
2. there's no spark and chemistry between FL and ML...mostly because FL i think. cause...when it comes to acted solo, the ML do his job perfectly.
3. i can blame the story for making the FL so depressing...but...on the screen, all she do is shock, look dumb, clueless, crying...maybe, just maybe...another actress can make the oh so frustrating female character better.
4. as i watch the FL, i remember seeing her in Pinocchio and the Heir, and i think her acting look exactly the same...maybe it's just my subjective opinion.

MUSIC
not much i remember, the memories of the alhambra play multiple time it feels like i can still hear it as i write this. LOL
but, adding music as a sign/reminder is a smart little detail.

REWATCH
me myself, have a lot of drama list to watch, so no...i really can't stand seeing FL in here. but maybe, just maybe i'll watch it again for the action and the AR, skipping the parts with FL.
i'm sorry, the FL just doesn't add any value in here. i think this dramas succeeded more because ML hard work and superb acting, story idea, amazing cinematography and CGI.
like i said, i even thinking this drama will still be amazing even without FL in it.
