Towards the end it got too fakey. In the beginning it looked really good.

I loved the color changes between the real world and the spirit world. It's the cheapness of the CGI fights in the later episodes that bothered me, because they were so good in the early episodes.

In the old days, a horror movie didn't mean it was scary. It just meant that the theme of the movie was horror. Like Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman. No jump scares. No blood. To me, slasher films redefined horror with blood, guts, and jump scares, and those are completely different to me.

1. I'm still not clear who did what to whom. And why there were no consequences for the king.

2. The main characters get major wounds that disappear within a few hours. I'm not just talking scrapes and bruises that I would have for months. I'm talking sword through the stomach, sword through the heart, knife through the throat, knife through the leg. And they're all, "Oh, it's just a flesh wound. I'll go jump in the lake now. No antibiotics needed."

3. I'm glad the ML and FL end up together, but I find it hard to believe that she could just leave with him like that, with no approval from the king or a chaperone.

4. It felt like the CGI got cheaper looking as the episodes went on.

I just finished binge watching it, and I really enjoyed it, but . . . (behind following spoiler).

I loved the costumes. Gorgeous silks.

Just watched the first episode and I'm hooked.

I thought the king was Son Suk Gu for a hot minute. But then it didn't seem like the sort of part he likes to play.

I can't believe the FL was the little girl from Our Blues. Time flies and she's all grown up.

And ML is 25/21 guy. I have to look the actors up because I keep thinking, "It's that guy from that other thing I watched" and most of the time I'm right. I love seeing actors in completely different roles and not just playing themselves with different names.

I've only watched one episode, but that was enough. The acting is terrible. The pacing of the story is terrible. The fight scenes are terrible. The men's makeup is way too much. And what's with all the men's lipstick? That's not how you do fencing. And when the home invasion occurs, the prince picks up a vase and doesn't enter the fight? He's supposed to be a fencing champion. Pick up a something to use as a sword. From reading the reviews of other viewers, I think I'll stop this one now.

Okay, I did fast forward to Episode 7, just to watch THAT scene.

I remember Uri Geller. He was a con artist who claimed he could bend spoons with his mind. Turns out, he was pre bending them, so they broke when he picked them up on stage. He also claimed he could change the time on watches by thinking about them, but he was actually pulling out the stem and winding it, but it was such a sleight of hand movement that nobody in the audience picked up on it.

He was huge, until he was outed as a con artist. It's one thing to call yourself a magician or illusionist, so the audience knows you're performing a trick. But he was claiming that he actually had special powers, and he did not.

Remember, this show is taking place 27 years ago, and Geller was Israeli. This is about Uri Geller being a con artist, not a Zionist.

THIS!!!!!! I agree.

OK, I got to the end of episode 10 and I'm getting bored. And saw the previews for episode 11 and I'm out.

The red or hot pink lipstick on men in K-dramas bothers me, too.

I wonder if Ahn Hyo-seop has bad skin, and that's why he wears heavy makeup?

If you liked Potato Lab, you're probably like this. Same vibe.

Eric is a horrible part to play. Eric does not come across as the owner of a major company. He comes across as a puppy dog, or a manic pixie dream girl/guy. He isn't written well.

I think the SML sister outranks him. He's the baby of the family. She's the head of the Etoile.

But you're not wrong. I agree with your comments.

I know this is supposed to be romantic, but it's a big RED FLAG for me.

If a man I started dating dumped me, and then reconnected with me, and then called me at 4 in the morning to open my front door. And then he's standing there with an overnight bag saying, "Let's sleep together." NOOOOOOO.

And how did he get into her building without the door code that she hasn't given him?

She has no right of refusal. He could push his way into the apartment. What if she wasn't ready yet? Obviously, she was ready, but what if it was too soon. What if she doesn't have birth control prepared? What if she has her period? What if she has her dirty clothes lying all over the floor? This is not the sort of thing men watching this show should think is a romantic gesture in real life.

I would have liked this episode better if the writer had him call her and ask her before driving over. Then you could see her excitement as she tidied up, and his excitement of jumping in the car and driving over. And having them embrace as he comes through the door, because she's expecting him.

I'm still enjoying the show. I'm just disappointed in the writer for this scene.

First, I am enjoying this show.

And I know this is supposed to be romantic, but it's a big RED FLAG for me.

I'll put this behind a spoiler for everyone who hasn't gotten to the end of episode 9.

How little testing was done on both of these creams? It's like they mixed it up and said, "Done." And why is he still growing mushrooms if the creams were so tainted? I want to like this show, but the premise is bugging me, and I feel like the show is dragging midstream.

Netflix in the USA has it. I watched it with subtitles in English.

I'm CDO, because even my OCD has to be alphabetical.

But yeah, the length of the tape over the eye patch is just WRONG.

I'm getting Dr. Coto's Clinic vibes.
