A strange one

It's hard to give an opinion on this show... I liked it but at the same time I didn't.

First lets set something straight, the CGI was really bad, people saying that's very good haven't watched a proper CGI movie. While I know that the budget in such shows is not so massive as Hollywood it's no excuse to use bad CGI and call it good in current days. In the first episodes the monsters looked really fake, but as the show continued they were "fixed" a little to look more mashed in the scenery and with proper lighting.

The story was interesting... but at the same time dumb. How can I describe it... it's like giving a great script but to people who don't understand how to implement it. The show was trying to be too cool and it felt like it overdid so it actually looked like an elementary kid playing a "hero" game.

So it's really strange... I didn't hate the story but the way it was portrayed was too childish.

The music... I know they love to reuse the same song on k-dramas but I think the specific song selection was not proper for a lot of the "epic" scenes with that "warriors" song on repeat. Each time I heard it, it killed the scene for me...

The ending of the first part (I assume) was all over the place, so I don't consider it to be a "good" one.

While I don't consider it a bad show if I take in consideration the bad CGI, bad director vision and the strange music choice I can't give it more than 6/10, while I have given 6 to a lot worse shows than this and I don't consider this one to be equally bad to them.

Or to break it in other terms, as a SciFi show is really bad, but as a kdrama is OK.
