Oh, HELL yeah.
Gaksital (aka Bridal Mask) hinted at action, intrigue, excitement, and thrills. Right off the bat, the drama delivers—but even more than the slick fight scenes or the gorgeous cinematography, the show manages to imbue the story with heart right away. Not an easy feat to get you invested and caring, heart pinching in sympathy, almost immediately; usually we need some time to fall in love with the characters, but I’m all-in right from the get-go.
It’s also got an intriguing setup in that our hero isn’t the drama’s hero—at least, not yet. What a great conflict.
