The synopsis does not do it justice!

It will surely pique your interest if you enjoyed 'Lovers of the Red Sky.'

A historical drama with a dynamic female lead! The magic system in this fictional place called Daeho is very very... petrifying (pun intended).

The storyline really pulls you in, especially the whole context behind the female lead's soul and reason for vengeance. The male lead is endearing in a way that does not let him outshine Naksu/Mu Deok Yi, which I genuinely appreciate. Overall, this drama's cast is one to watch out for. There are so many promising actors and their interactions are super adorable. The special effects have been elegantly carried out and the action sequences have been skillfully enacted, further complimented by the exquisite production quality. It all ties together handsomely, showcasing a superior level of storytelling. It does not follow the most cliched plot (although a few cliches were necessary) or have plot armour. This enhances its shock elements. The soundtrack is also very catchy and has a modern touch to it! Look forward to hearing a sageuk rendition of Oh My Girl's 'Nonstop.'

I came in with little expectations, but this has turned into one of the most anticipated historical dramas of 2022 for me.
