9/10
Perfect Blend of History and Fantasy
26 October 2021
I loved everything about this show! The plot is interesting, different, and well done. The cinematography is gorgeous, and the CGI is very well done, adding a wonderful other-worldly element. The acting was great across the board, from the leads to the secondary characters, and the writing was well done, giving all characters just enough importance to make the viewer care about them all. I thought that Ahn Hyu-Seop did a fantastic job portraying a blind person, and while the realism of some of the things he could do was a bit stretched, they gave enough of an explanation to move past it. There are no boring spots, and I particularly loved the attention given to the art in this show - it was fascinating to see how they used to paint so long ago, and the art was gorgeous and so much fun to see as it was created. The leads have great chemistry, and the ending was very well done and wrapped things up nicely (although I thought the epilogue was a tad unnecessary). I only took a star off because I'm not sure how much re-watch value this has, although it was a fantastic once-watch!
