Episode 1 Review

Episode 1 contained a lot of action scenes without deterring the introduction of the plot line. I was pleasantly surprised by the action choreography and by the pacing. Although the producers have decided to start with back story, the pacing of it is manageable because the action scenes are placed strategically well. My biggest complaint is the writing at certain parts, as I questioned some of the decisions they made, but everything should become clearer in episode 3 or 4. For those speculating, let more episodes come out and read episode reviews/recaps and base your decision from there. This drama doesn't deserve criticism primarily because they decided not to start off with the adult cast. Besides, the back story may not be flawless, but it definitely is worthy giving a shot.

Night Watchman's Journal - Episode 1

So far so good. It's unique, at least for what I've seen in Joseon Era dramas. There is a lot more Fantasy going on that I had expected, but I quite enjoyed that aspect of the first episode, and the effects are actually pretty decent.
The plot feels a bit confusing at first, but things start to fall into place as the episode progresses. The first episode is the background of the characters, and none of our main actors have appeared yet. However, the actors I have seen are really quite amazing, and I can only expect as much from the main actors for the rest of the series.
I can't see any reason not to continue watching this drama.
