Una presentación un poco caotica

La manera de presentar la historia es un poco caótica con saltos de tiempo y personajes, normal en historias con argumentos complejos.

What a Start!

The first ep itself is so interesting and I am loving the leads and all the tidbits of details we got of the story and of the world the characters live in. I hope the rest of the drama is just as interesting

The adventures begins. Opening theme, backstory, visuals, actors, its just overwhelming amazing. The fight on the water, the blind girl, her acting and pun is very good

Fantastic Start

This episode introduced the characters and they did it mighty well. The CGI is exceptional. The costumes were unique and effective for the characters. Director did a great job in this first episode hooking viewers through CGI and these fine looking artists. One thing I noticed though was the 4 season kids & few characters didn’t follow period hairstyle ? and there’s some who did. At any rate, it gave a little spice to the characters they each play. All fine looking young men and two beautiful ladies. I just wanted the first Nakshu to be the same one playing Mu deok ( I probably have the name spelled wrong) .

Yooooo I have not been so excited for a show from episode 1 I know its gonna get so good later on squeeeeeee. The cinematography, the visuals, the aesthetics, *chef's kiss*. Legit so pretty and the CGI is very cool. The part where they introduced the 4 seasons is like straight out of a comic, the background is so so pretty and Arin is so pretty I was shocked when she appeared LMAO. Only thing that is like ermmmm is the idol hairstyle like seriously??? If they don't want to "ruin their image" then don't act in a period drama la bruhh

Also so min's facial expressions are soo good i keep replaying her parts and her skin is soo youthful

The first few scenes of the episode set the tune of the show. I particularly love the fight on the frozon lake. Daksu was described as the number one assasin and she made a strong case to prove that. I am waiting for more killer instinct in Mu Deak in coming episodes. So far she is adjusting to her new body and struggled with it. I hope they will keep the comedic moments and behavior to a minimum and focusing on her sould being a cold blooded killer instead. Looking forward to 3 and 4.

Beautiful visuals

It is a unique storyline involving magic and swapping souls and plenty of action in a historical setting. I give this episode a rating of 8 because of the powerful visuals a good beginning and end and a fun action sequence. The story in the middle became a tad slow. This show has the potential to be binge-watched. Let's hope it can keep up the intrigue that it has managed to build.

A Solid Start

The intro episode is great - all characters seem to be introduced sufficiently and the "costume-drama's-fist-episode-confusion" doesnt really happen (you know - that confusing stage of watching a costume drama where they throw at you 40 characters + background stories and you just dont know whats happening). the rules of the world are being introduced well.anyways - the CGI is a liiitle bit ambitious but i can handle that. Fight scenes and music is epic! The story starts in an interesting way and so far it seems to be delivering what they promised. I am looking forward to more of this drama!

NAKSHA

I really loved the first ep, the whole kdrama felt really different the general Korean dramas. The story, CGI were all perfect. HWANG MINHYUN & ARIN, despite being idols who were famous for being handsome and pretty , proved their acting worth.
