So this had all the elements that should have made me absolutely love it: An historical fantasy staring Shin Min Ah and the lovely Lee Joon Gi, who have a sweet chemistry. But there were things that in the end just fell kinda flat. Maybe it was the over the top villain who's every wide-eyed 'look at me I'm eeeevil' scene grated to the point I wanted to stab something. Maybe it was the resolution of Arang's plot that felt very patched together and all deus ex machina (and maybe that was the point but it still doesn't feel earned to me). Still, what really did entertain me, besides Lee Joon Gi's smolder, was the side characters, particularly Dol Sue and his hilarious interactions with Bang Wool, and of course the back and forth between the Jade and Hades (by the way, wasn't Jade extremely pretty? Those eyes...).
