Decent drama but over-hyped

Goodness.
Where do I start with this show.

So it's not the worst I've seen but I definitely don't understand all the hype that has surrounded this show. In my opinion, the chemistry was average and the story wasn't terrible but definitely had a lot of draggy bits and some ridiculous moments.

I would say the worst part of it all was the characterization of the FL - pretty much 80% of the show she is gullible, manipulated and basically used as pawn for everyone's selfish motives. You think things get better when the plot changes a bit and she realizes what she is but NO - she's still manipulated and basically has absolutely no autonomy over her decisions, destiny and life in general. It's super frustrating as a viewer because I can't help but be mad at her the entire time and groan every time she starts waving that ridiculous sword.

The ML was great in the acting department and he kept the show alive and carried it - in my opinion.

I'd watch this if you have nothing better to do and want to watch some new actors on your screen.
