A review by ParkMin
Written by ParkMin on 2023-12-11
I found the beginning to be quite poor, it took a handful of episodes before the drama started going. By then, most viewers would have dropped it already. A good initial hook is necessary, especially for a longer drama. The storytelling was as shallow as a kiddie pool. It felt like they were trying to cram an unedited history book into it. The drama really needed to be shorter with a better structure because the potential was already there. The characters were as two-dimensional as stick figures, most of them were unable to convey the necessary emotions to the viewer. It would've been awesome...read the rest
