This year we are blessed with some visually good drama but lacking good plot .
Lovers of the Red Sky fall into the category (as Doom and gumiho) .
It starts well with Ha-Ram ; for a change male lead has good spy network and more than intelligent to keep his enemies in back-foot under his palm, slowly as rekindles his relationship with Cheongi he becomes passive and his brain freeze so makes insensible decision and story goes nowhere ; the usual rut of the Seaguks surfaces
Kim You-Jung as Cheongi was wonderful as usual she brings her positive charm to the show and balances the morbid revenge driven Ha-Ram . My only regret she yet again finds herself into an ordinary plot although no controversy ; like Backstreet rookie ; this time. Hope she chooses a better script or famous director next time.
The other princes and king are usually one-dimensional and boring with no character development. The Baeksung artists bring out some comedy and the finale was delightful ; except for last 2 minutes .
Overall this was a passable watch ; as I have binged through first 8 episodes I found it more interesting than watching it weekly (I was not waiting for new episodes).
