      It's not bad, but the special effects are much inferior to "The Lord of the Rings" and so on.

      Indeed, as some comments, many are unreasonable. It's a little bit badly edited. Except for the two protagonists who are ugly, the women are ugly. Finished watching this season. Episode 13 was a lot of fun, watching Nemuhn get hit by lightning, and then it actually exploded. This drama changed Arthur's story to a stalemate, and the fairies in the lake are dead, so how can we fix it.
