This kind of reminds me of a Joseon Dynasty 'Goblin' mixed together with 'The Fiery Priest' (unless I am mixing up a different shaman KDRAMA). Either case so far, so good. Every episode has me wanting to watch the next one. Only up to episode five, curious to see if this drama will keep my ADHD hooked or will I lose interest.
Lately I have been watching more JDRAMA's again and this one is a nice slow burn. I enjoy the slice of life dry Japanese humor and how they incorporated it into a "sci-fi" storyline. If you're thinking that it has CGI aliens and flying saucers because of the poster and synopsis, don't fret because it's the complete opposite and give the first or second episode a try to see if your cup of tea.
I am on episode 20 but episode 15 is such a solid episode. If you enjoy anime, it's where after Goku, Naruto, Gon, etc. is always training and you FINALLY get a glimpse at how it has paid off. Overall all though, everything about this drama I find solid. It has great fight scenes (could have more, imo), romance, comedy, crime, mystery, etc.
The only thing that is still bothering me is how the storyline will play into what happened at the very beginning of the first episode. Per the synopsis (so not a spoiler), the main character gets transported to a fictional Chinese dynasty. Why, lol? So far there is zero logical explanation other than the author using this trope/niche to be included as a keyword or genre for the series. I hope this will eventually get addressed with a good explanation because it would be sad to see such an amazing storyline get ruined just because the author felt like more people would enjoy the series if people thought it was an Isekai genre.
I will make subs for this if I can't find any. They sell this series with ENG Subs DVD/VCD on eBay but can't seem to find them uploaded anywhere online. Please respond to my comment if you find it, as this show isn't on my priority list atm.
Lol, it took me a few minutes to find my own comment from the notification. I don't know much about the writers or the tv ratings but this series kept me entertained for awhile. Was debating on starting Desperate Mrs. Seonju or Cinderlla's Game next but lately have been hooked on Russian and Spanish dramas.
