A fény árnyékában

There were plenty of moments where I was excited, but unfortunately a few towards the end where the plot started to feel drawn out. Fortunately those never lasted very long and I could count them on one hand. But of course that also disturbed my overall impression. I don't think I'll be the only one who felt that at the beginning the plot was more playful and the plots more interesting. Towards the end, I didn't feel the passion as much and at times it became an ordinary tug of war for the throne. But it doesn't change the fact that most of the characters had nicely developed personalities, went through some decent transformations, and definitely did not amount to a game of black versus white. If I were to discuss the acting qualities, it would take a very long time, as at least a third of the cast would be worth mentioning. So I'll cut it short and only give one bit of praise, and that's towards Ha-nui Lee. That woman is one incredible lady! Or at least she can play one incredibly well... A strong 4 stars. (2017.06.25)
