Another point of contention is the performances within the series. While Lee Jung Jae has been praised for his delivery, most other actors come across as unconvincing and formulaic. The cast appears to be reciting lines rather than inhabiting their roles, leading to a lack of immersion. This is particularly evident in scenes where character motivations and emotional stakes should be clear but are undermined by poor execution.
Additionally, the depictions of certain characters—like a young, seemingly inexperienced Anakin-like figure—fail to evoke the depth or gravitas needed for such pivotal roles, making it difficult for viewers to invest in their journeys.
