Underwhelming

The premise was quite good and the CGI is good too but after the first half, everything just felt so underwhelming and disappointing. The drama is not scary at all if anyone is concerned. Also the series doesn't know whether to promote thenleads as bromance or a BL because they keep hinting and dancing around fate and connection. Figure out what the show is and stick to that instead of trying to mislead the audience.

My main issue is with the plot itself. It is a very slow moving show so I had to watch in 1.5x minimum. The scenarios of illusions was boring, the main fight was a dialogue, the spirit world was boring (although I liked the emotional moment between the leads), and the ending was confusing. I expected more from the ending but no action was happening. And the physical fight scenes were also a bit sloppy. I could give details on all of it but it would be major spoilers.

Overall, the acting was good. I liked all the characters. The male leads are good but I didn't like the hints suggesting they might feel more deeply especially after being yelled at by their fans that this is bromance. Suddenly everyone is saying it's not bromance. Sometimes fans do nothing but ruin a show for others.

Anyway, there is no romance just the writer director playing mind games.

I also want to make a quick note about the intro theme which I loved. Other than that, the show is okay for it's genre. A bit overrated. You might enjoy it if you are a fan of the leads otherwise you're not missing much.
