EPISODE REVIEWS

I have said this before, still not a fan of CGI, but for this one episode, it was utilized nicely. They portrayed the skills and the number of assassins. Beryl is still using his honed skills, and there are no overpowered skills in any of the fights. Looking forward to the last episode.

Episode 11 did a nice job raising the stakes while keeping the focus on Beryl's strengths as both a swordsman and a mentor. I appreciate that the series never relies solely on flashy fights. The quieter conversations still carry a lot of weight.

I am absolutely loving the craftsmanship in this episode. The action was so thrilling and intense that it gave me goosebumps. The direction was also put together beautifully. Story-wise, while I was surprised by the sudden development, it wasn't entirely unexpected. My gut feeling and some visual hints from the last episode already pointed toward it.
