Very messy first episode. Direction is choppy, lots of information dropped in too quickly without the chance to absorb it adequately. There is obviously an elaborate backstory, but not enough has been given to make it compelling. The visuals are opulent, but very small scale. I expected to want to binge the first 5 eps but have paused after the first in favour of watching other dramas I have on the go, so not invested at this stage. Will still give it a go for ZLH. I hope it improves for his sake!
