This is a rather dark aesthethic for a K-drama. The mood is a mix of The Fortress and Brotherhood of the Wolf.

As usual, Cho Bo-ah delivers a compelling performance (the well scene was poignant), and she looks absolutely exquisite. She's such an underrated actress! Please give her more roles.

There's undeniable chemistry between the leads, but their time together is too short. The ending was a bit rushed, and two of the villains didn't get what they deserve, which isn't something you usually complain about when it comes to K-dramas.

Without giving away spoilers, I'd say this isn't for the faint of heart, but it's definitely binge-worthy.

More sageuk pieces, Netflix!

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf should have aired before the first season of The Witcher. Maybe then the latter would have made some sense (I haven't read the books or played the game).

This animated movie is so good, it should have actually been a series; it is gripping from beginning to end, the action is top-notch, and it's filled with interesting characters. And I actually enjoyed the main Witcher and Geralt's future mentor, Vesemir; I'd like more of him, please.

Because of the movie, I will be watching season 2 of The Witcher, in the hope that the editing and mood are better than in the first installment.

I don't care what color the actors are or even about the inclusion of modern music, but I do care how the characters are completely butchered compared to the books. I'm a huge Quinn fan and this series, although welcome in theory, fails to capture the subtleties of each character and the humor of the narration. I want more period pieces on Netflix, yes, but please don't call this one Bridgerton. I wish I hadn't read the books, perhaps I'd have enjoyed it more.
