I was hooked on this drama in the first half of the series; it was lighthearted, funny, beautiful actors, and some interesting fantasy/mythology/supernatural elements. The visuals are breathtaking in some scenes and though it's tropey, if you enjoy that kind of thing it's compelling and entertaining. The pacing in the first half moves quickly, with the characters are introduced well, a couple of different plotlines and personal stakes established, an engaging romance, and it felt well balanced and bingeable.
Unfortunately the good parts started to slowly fall away in the second half of the drama, when the character development took a back seat to more murder mystery / crime solving exposition. It just felt like the focus shifted too much and it became a bit boring and hard to finish. It was still worth a watch even if it was underwhelming at the end, because I did enjoy myself for most of it.
