Didn't expect much here but was pleasantly surprised the more episodes I wateched. Acting is decent and the story developes at a reasonable clip. The cinematography provided nice visuals and while the 'monster' might appear far fetched, I do give the writers credit for an interesting twist on Japan's occupation of Korea before liberation. There are some sub-plots of survival during of the darkest times in Korea's history so you might have to dig a bit deeper to find some of these underlying messages, but overall, am enjoying it thus far. I gave it a chance and as I headed into this with an open mind, I'm being rewarded.
