Post-Mid season Impressions: *sighs* I mean, it's still good, but the plot is being indefinitely dragged. I've also been seeing myself skip more and more every episode. The first couple episodes were really good, but it seems to have lost its "wow factor" in the latest 12 episodes.
First Impressions (Well, mid seasons impressions since they dropped 12 episodes on us) Plot (Minor Spoilers) The plot is about how a girl one day sees her ex-boyfriend who vanished 5 years ago. But when she goes to approach him, he doesn't recognise her and he seems like a different person. You later find out he lost his memories, and they both encountered a strange green eyed beluga whale 5 years ago. It is a story about their love, their mission to find out what exactly happened 5 years ago and the quest to retrieve lost memories.
The acting is good. Nothing impressive but nothing bad.
Honestly so far, this is a simple, enjoyable watch, which the only complicated thing about it so far is its plot.
It's just that from my experience and from all the dramas I've seen so far, most naive characters are rather weak or become completely broken and vengeful. I do admit, I have a bias for naive characters, especially when they go vengeful, but I also cannot deny that half the time it's not executed properly. Just take a recent c-drama for example, The Legends. Your main lead is actually quite naive, but it seemed he had the perfect setup for a successful character, yet they were able to screw up the last 15-ish episodes due to the characters naive nature. It's simply hard to balance a naive character without using overused tropes. Honestly, I do see why you like them, and I personally have a bias towards them, but I gotta agree with the general public that most of them aren't good characters.
Half season impressions: It's... really good. The cast has done wonderful so far and even in the span as short as 14 episodes you can see progression in acting (especially Bruce He, the actor for Wei Ya Nei). It makes you laugh, yet keeps you on the edge of your seat constantly. The characters all have strong points but are all flawed and seem pretty human (except for your main-lead, who's a bit more overpowered, but it works for him). The fight scenes are choreographed nicely, and it does get serious and bloody even with it's humour (though I do admit, most of the humour in this show is kinda dark), which is a nice balance and constantly triggers your emotions. I don't know how many times I wanted to laugh yet knew that it probably wasn't appropriate in the scenario lmao . --++{I highly recommend}++-- 16/36 episodes have been released by the time I'm writing this.
I still don't quite understand the prophecy, could someone help clarify? Is it something along the lines of two brothers were born on the day of the comet (doomsday) and they became cursed children and stuff, and one of them will end the world while another will save it? And to properly end the world, three artifacts need to be used for Arthdal's destruction?
Can't wait for season 2 honestly the male lead being replaced isn't a problem for me.
Yea same, although I do agree with most that Arthur should have stayed the lead, I don't mind Dylan Wang at all and it does have its justifications unlike some Chinese dramas where the cast changed just because it did.

(But seriously, all jokes aside, there's like a 60% chance that that will happen)
