I actually liked this. It was good till about the last 5eps -it's like they have to push the over the top melo and make it more makjang. I liked the FL duality innocent and cunning. The ML in ep.1 vs the rest of the eps was a total 180. I don't mind the ending, I think it's a befitting punishment for revenge - you get to live and suffer. I think the death of the allies was more sad for me.
There is this feeling that Miyazaki and Natsume Yujin Cho gives me - a mix of bittersweet nostalgia and melancholy. This show gives me the exact same feelings albeit this show is more direct. Such an overwhelming feeling.
This could've been 12 episode, some parts felt repetitive. but overall it was enjoyable and certain parts spoke to me about burn-out and depression. I liked the relationship between the leads.
I enjoy martial arts movies and they are entertaining but calling this a "fun watch" is a disrespect to the subject matter. It's a decent thriller. Just be warned before diving in
Would have liked to have seen more of Eun Yu's family in the future. They spent so much time on their past and impact on her, it would've been nice to see some of the effects.
