    Promising Start 4 ep in

    Cinematography, costumes, CGI everything looks high quality. For a Fantasy genre , storytelling is on point . Plus I always liked the acting skills of the female lead. She is natural and I never get bored watching her. I will update my rating after 10 episodes.

    Best Sageuk fantasy romance

    The cinematography is beyond my expectation. With the cast who acted well and shown their professionalism, this drama is indeed a highly-recommended drama. The storyline is unpredictable, every ends of an episode made me felt curious on the next one. For me, this is the best historical fantasy romance. Hopefully, a lot of people recognized this unique and very beautiful drama.

    Perfect Blend of History and Fantasy

    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!

    Started out great, then got predictable

    Started out really promising and I was eager to watch the next episode each time it came out. The CGI was extremely well done. Around halfway through the series, it starts getting boring, predictable, and cliché. I didn't feel as though the main couple had much chemistry, and there are many things that are pushed to the audience without explanation. There are better historical-fantasy dramas in my opinion.

    Best therapy for me

    The sweet love and memories of childhood although cliché perfectly suits this genre and the CGI is also amazing and I just love the fact that the makeup and costumes are perfect.. Even deities are dressed up in a very aesthetic way and I am loving it. Btw I called it therapy for me because it is a source of comfort to me whenever I am down... When I have a bad day and want to cry it all out it helps me cry it all out and I feel better... anyways it is a total MUST WATCH!!!
