I have concluded that literal wizards made this show.
The question here isn't "Is it good."
The REAL question is "HOW is this so good."
I have thought a lot about this. And I think I've figured it out. Now hear me out, I know it sounds crazy. But it is the only answer that makes logical sense:
There was a group of wizards that got into watching c-dramas, and they were like "Dude, we should make a c-drama." So they gathered around a magic cauldron and were like
"We found this hair stylist we could use, what do you think."
"Good enough. Throw em in the pot."
(other wizard throws stylist in the cauldron, POOF! big burst of light)
"What about this director?"
"He's pretty good. Throw him in the pot too. And that ML, close enough, he's fine, throw him in."
(Other wizard looks at ML skeptically) "You sure?"
"Yeah, throw him in. "
(POOF!)
"We picked up these costumes whaddya think"
(Barely looks at them) "Sure. I trust you. They seem fine."
(POOF!)
(They throw all the other stuff in the cauldron, cameraman, lighting, music, makeup, script, actors, etc etc...... point their magical staffs and start chanting 'mekka lekka hi mekka neinie ho.... mekka lekka hi mekka heinie ho....' and then BOOM the cauldron explodes in a blinding light)
(wizard raises his hands to the sky)
"BEHOLD! FOR WE HAVE CREATED PURE GOLD!"
Because I mean how else do you explain it!? How did all B+ ingredients turn into an A+ drama?!?? Magic! It has to be!!
* How am I this addicted to a show that doesn't even have a spice factor, with an ML I don't think is that hot? Magic
* How am I not put off and distracted by the dubbing? Magic
* I don't care that much about the salt trade, the politics, the romance, the intrigue... so why tf is this story just GRIPPING me and not letting go? Magic
* If the production quality isn't anywhere near as good as Rise of the Phoenixes, why am I so enchanted by it? Magic
CONCLUSION: This is a TOP-TIER BINGE WATCH, created through actual sorcery by literal wizards.
CAVEAT: There's a very slight ramp-up till it truly gets going, you need to give it like maybe 2 or 3 episodes before the addiction begins to set in. But after that it's like pushing a snowball down a hill, it packs it's own momentum before too long and then boom you're up at 2AM with dark circles under your eyes like "Just one more episode!"
