Cinematography, costumes, CGI everything looks high quality. For a Fantasy genre , storytelling is on point . Plus I always liked the acting skills of the female lead. She is natural and I never get bored watching her. I will update my rating after 10 episodes.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lovers of The Red Sky. It was different from other historical dramas I have seen lately because of the blend of fantasy and realism. The last drama that I enjoyed as much was Mr. Queen. I thought Ahn Hyo-Seop did a wonderful job portraying the blind scholar. He played the part with much dignity and reserve. I look forward to seeing him in future roles.

The best thing about this show is the fantastic acting of the leading actress, she shone like no other when the script gave her opportunity ( not many times unfortunately) This script was extremely slow and I missed passion and emotions all around. The drama is well executed and has quality effects but it doesn't quite do it for me, I was expecting more.

It is still enjoyable to watch as a light something.

I loved everything about this show! The plot is interesting, different, and well done. The cinematography is gorgeous, and the CGI is very well done, adding a wonderful other-worldly element. The acting was great across the board, from the leads to the secondary characters, and the writing was well done, giving all characters just enough importance to make the viewer care about them all. I thought that Ahn Hyu-Seop did a fantastic job portraying a blind person, and while the realism of some of the things he could do was a bit stretched, they gave enough of an explanation to move past it. There are no boring spots, and I particularly loved the attention given to the art in this show - it was fascinating to see how they used to paint so long ago, and the art was gorgeous and so much fun to see as it was created. The leads have great chemistry, and the ending was very well done and wrapped things up nicely (although I thought the epilogue was a tad unnecessary). I only took a star off because I'm not sure how much re-watch value this has, although it was a fantastic once-watch!

The cinematography is beyond my expectation. With the cast who acted well and shown their professionalism, this drama is indeed a highly-recommended drama. The storyline is unpredictable, every ends of an episode made me felt curious on the next one. For me, this is the best historical fantasy romance. Hopefully, a lot of people recognized this unique and very beautiful drama.
