I really enjoyed this one. It started on a slightly confusing note as the story was introduced, but with each episode the drama weaves an increasingly engaging sci-fi narrative, and it only got better as it progressed. That said, I was initially disappointed by the creatures. However, as the story developed, the intrigue and depth of the plot made up for that, because it quickly becomes clear that the story isn’t about the creatures' presentation.Instead, it becomes more focused on its mythology and the broader history behind everything, shifting away from first impressions into something more layered. It was enjoyable to watch the traditions and customs unfold, along with the intricate setups and battles between the two forces as their backstories were revealed.

Having said that, I’ve seen negative reviews from viewers who expected more romance. This is a creature feature, though, so any romance will follow a different formula or have a lighter presence than in a true romance drama (and rightly so). Personally, I thought there was a nice balance that helped broaden the plot layers. The buildup felt natural and fitting, and my only real critique is that the beginning includes a few repetitive misunderstandings that didn’t quite land for me.

Overall, I enjoyed this watch. While it isn’t a top-tier favorite, I would definitely watch it again, as the script is smart and includes several sequences filled with mysteries and Easter eggs. I hope they continue the story with a season two.
