episode 1 to episode 15 are worth 2-star at the most. get ready for an unimpressive, mediocre first 15 episodes. things pick up and get better starting from episode 16 onward. i almost gave up twice watching this series all the way to the 40th episode because the overall experience watching the first 15 episodes was such a drag.

these first 15 episodes suffer from terrible background sound/music effects, many poor/redundant dialogues, some poor acting from several different characters, long winded narrative (beat around the bush), and redundant screen time of some minor/supporting characters, and of redundant or non-significant story development. of these early 15 episodes, only a select few segments in episode 7-8 were barely enjoyable.

i think as a whole, the production should have tone down or manage the usage frequency, and the quality of the virtual effects or computer graphics a bit. they could also have focused better on the character developments, story, plots, directing, character screen time, editing, and background music/sound.

i am not too sure about the main female actor. it feels that the main female character is more like a supporting female character. i can see that she tries hard to portray the character and bring life to the character. on the other hand, her acting gives me the impression that it is either she is not as experienced in acting the role, or she has not received better guidance/direction/mentoring, or both.

in general, majority of the acting and cast of majority of the supporting characters, and their dialogues are better compared to a few of the supporting characters in the first 15 episodes. the supporting characters from episode 16 onward are more enjoyable and endearing. the acting and dialogues of a few of the supporting characters in the first 15 episodes feel (more) awkward/stiff(er).
