Thoughts on Gyeongseong Creature Part 2
The leading man previously mentioned in an interview that the drama is the story of the people of Gyeonseong; the story lives by the statement the relationships of the people, their principals, and the political themes are well emphasized, but the prolonged drama remains a setback. The team have done an impeccable job with the true-to-life VFX; the creature crawling within Myeong Ja’s face to the blast appears incredibly realistic, which makes the drama a must-watch.
