i'm going to keep this short and sweet, and say what a waste of potential.
things i liked:
- character driven storytelling
- unique premise
- leads' relationship
- great acting
things i didn't like:
- characters being numb to their past
a lot of things happened to main characters, but they remained the same. the only ones who changed were the side characters (for instance situ).
- horrible cgi effects (but that's given in fantasy series)
- inconstant writing at some parts (e.g: can vampire walk under the sunlight?)
- sad ending
even though the sad ending was hinted at for longest time, i needed an happy ending for my leads. they suffered for the WHOLE series. it makes the whole series feel like a waste of time, and i hope that cdrama writers stop that sad drama ending trend for fantasy dramas set in 19 and 20 century. at this point, i think it's censorship's fault
