So Much Potential, But It Didn’t Deliver: Needed More Underworld and Demons

It pains me to say this, but this was just okay for me. The beginning is strong and immediately engaging. The storyline is compelling, the characters are dynamic, their backstories are poignant and easy to connect with, and the color palette is visually stunning. Unfortunately, around the midway point, the drama stopped developing some of these strengths and shifted its focus more heavily toward the central romantic storyline. Much of the initial thematic depth began to fade, and several characters felt less present or were given less satisfying narrative attention, which left me wanting more from their arcs. By the later stages, the story felt less impactful than it initially set up, and the overall resolution didn’t fully match the strength of the early build-up for me. Even moments that could have added emotional weight didn’t quite land in the way I expected.

I’m genuinely sad that this is how I ended up feeling about this drama, because it had so much potential that it just never fully delivered on it for me.
