I haven't watched the anime or read the novel.All opinions are from watching the drama.

I liked the pacing of the plot. It really allowed the watcher to get to know all the characters. And the acting of all the actors was great. Hope to see more character development though in the next seaon especially Tang San. The fights could have been better but i understand why it was. As this drama was originally shot with a low budget. The music was irritating at times but overall an interesting and bingeworthy drama.
