I don't know why this show is getting so much hate in these reviews. I guess it's just not the taste of the reviewers here. This show has become my absolute favorite this year so far. I was hooked from the start. The story is very interesting with many twists and turns. The fantasy/horror/haunted elements were top tier for me. There were a couple VFX scenes that weren't the best, but they didn't effect the watch for me. The majority of the FX were awesome and very atmospheric. The music had me as well. It was so awesome and very fitting. This reminded me of an old game, Dynasty Warriors, that I used to play. Loved it so much and haven't had that feeling from any other kdrama thus far, and I've watched a lot through the years.

I found this to be so satisfying of a watch. There were definitely times I was yelling at my screen over some of these villains that I hated, but it felt more realistic in the way they were handled, given they are royalty. I loved both leads and was drawn into their stories. Both leads had a huge part in this story, not just one. He was definitely stronger which, given his past, makes tons of sense, but both were necessary in the story. I found her to be strong as well, which I really enjoy and don't see often.

If you enjoy fantasy, action, and a little horror, this is a great watch for you. It was fun, thrilling, mysterious, exciting, and even had a little humor in there. It gave me a little bit of a Sweet Home vibe, but I enjoyed it so much more. I found the ending quite satisfying as well, which I didn't expect. My husband got hooked after watching a few scenes. So after I finished this, I restarted it with him and I'm watching it all over again. I noticed a few things I didn't see the first time and I'm thoroughly enjoying the re-watch

I am a gamer, so maybe that has made me biased toward this, I don't know, but it's a masterpiece for me and it's going in my favorite dramas list for sure
