Comments

blah May 28 2026 6:02 pm i rarely drop shows korean or otherwise. this is one of the exceptions.

it's clear as day ma dong-seok wanted to ride that eternals high for quite a bit longer when he co-wrote this and koreanized the mcu film's key properties. but this is just nope. no amount of acting can gloss over the paper-thin story and sloppy worldbuilding. intriguing at first, but falls apart the longer you keep watching

numerous commenters here and elsewhere share largely the same sentiments. the internet's judgement is right on this one. do yourself a favor and find a better use of your time if you still haven't seen it yet

Jojo Apr 16 2026 2:37 am I like the cast in this series... but the story itself lacked depth. It was really bad actually... I wouldn't waste my time watching this if I were you.

Ray Apr 15 2026 9:55 pm I just finished watching all 8 episodes. The best way I can describe the experience is,

Based on its premise and its first episode, the drama could have been great, however it wasn't very good!

bingingwhat Apr 02 2026 1:47 pm i didn't realize the male lead actor was involved in writing the script. no wonder the drama was so terrible

Not An Igutu Feb 01 2026 12:15 am Tried watching ep 1 many times little by little with the hope that after a while, i will come to like the drama. After so many attempts (and i not only at half of ep 1) i come here to rethink my decision. Looks like i can strop trying now. Thank you for all the honest reviews. Lol.

Arin Jan 02 2026 4:57 pm Worst tv show ever created in human tv history. 8 yr old kids will be able to make better tv show than this abomination

Anonymous Dec 10 2025 2:40 pm This is a very very bad bad bad kdrama of the year. They should felt ashamed if any of the staff or cast attend this year KBS Drama Awards.

This drama has interesting synopsis plot but it's nothing really. The drama got nothing. They don't have good script at all. Like at all! The whole drama is a filler!

Now i understand why they struggle to find channel to distribute this drama early. Because it's shitty!

K-drama Holic Nov 28 2025 12:32 am The drama isn't that bad. It has heavy action and fighting scenes, it makes me wonder if the drama purpose is to showcase the actors combat skills. Feels like the writers only give the casts "You're angel that has protect the humans" and leave them to do improvisation. It can be developed better. The acting of the actors/actresses are not bad but not good either. Well, if you like action packed drama and you like any of the casts, you should watch it. But if not, just skip it.

Noni Nov 16 2025 12:51 pm This drama is a colossal waste of time. Waste of money and waste of time. It's nothing but fighting and product placements. There is absolutely no storytelling. No plot, no point, no reason to root for the characters... just, Nothing. This drama was created to market a chicken restaurant, Kopiko and cell phones. Absolute rubbish. Don't waste your time watching this.

A complete waste of time, money and an excellent cast. Rubbish!

Huh Nov 15 2025 8:23 pm I’m on episode 4 and I still don’t know what this drama is about. I would say the story makes no sense but there is no story. Like zero storytelling. The episodes were filled with nonsensical filler scenes that added nothing to the non-existent plot. Angels in human form with no special powers? Why? Someone please tell me what was the point of this drama.

Nadia Oct 27 2025 2:46 am I almost dropped this drama because I kept seeing negative reviews about it. However, I decided to give it a chance, and it turned out not to be that bad. I surprisingly enjoyed it. The ending makes me think there will be another season.

Birthday Oct 26 2025 3:56 am Great actors but the plot is just... eh? i tried to like it, but it's just meh. i'm stopping at episode 4, 13mins in. it could have been a great story but it didnt live up.

Wendie Oct 06 2025 6:19 pm I had high hopes for this show because I love a supernatural concept, the ✨expensive✨ cast, and Park Hyung Sik’s visuals. Sadly I struggled to finish all 8 episodes because the plot was inconsistent, predictable, and lazy. The actors/actresses did try to salvage what they could but you can’t really hide poor writing. The characters felt really flat and their relationships (familiar, platonic, romantic, etc) felt forced. With just 8 episodes, I felt like the show spent more time on the product placement than the actual plot. And CGI on Ogwi’s wings were just a no.

Jk Oct 05 2025 10:09 pm This is not bad as they say, the graphics and effects are superb, the casting is daebak! the actors are still great as they always are. I dunno if the eps were shortened due to ratings but if this has more eps this drama might been so great, the story of each characters could've been more emphasized, the love story between Mirr and Ogwi should be more elaborated and the powers of each of them should be emphasized more as well. I still give 8/10 for this for the sake of actors. This is still not a waste.

K0ki Oct 05 2025 3:02 pm I had high hopes for Twelve because of the amazing cast — Park Hyung Sik, Seo In Guk, and Sung Dong Il — but it turned out to be a confusing mess. The plot made little sense, the graphics were poor, and the writing felt self-serving, with the writer giving himself the best role but delivering weak acting. What could’ve been great ended up being a disappointing, chaotic show.

King Pup 1722 Oct 02 2025 9:07 am “Twelve” takes a familiar fantasy setup, zodiac angels battling ancient evil, and gives it enough spark to keep you watching, even if it never quite soars. The drama follows Tae San, the Tiger angel, as he gathers the other eleven zodiac protectors to seal away O Gwi and a horde of dark spirits. The premise promises high-stakes battles and cosmic lore, and the show delivers on both counts, with slick visuals and well-choreographed fight scenes.

The acting is solid. Ma Dong-Seok as the brooding Tae San brings a grounded touch, and supporting performances by the rest of the zodiac team give the ensemble moments of genuine warmth. The chemistry among the twelve feels real, and their banter lightens the gloom.

On the downside, the plot can feel simplistic and predictable. Many twists are telegraphed, and the pacing drags in the middle episodes. Some characters could have used deeper backstories instead of surface-level motives. Still, the series never becomes a slog. Every showdown builds anticipation, and the finale ties up the main threads satisfyingly.

“TWELVE” isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s a fun, watchable ride for fans of mystical action. If you enjoy lighthearted teamwork and magical battles, this average but entertaining series is worth your time.

Olya_1004 Oct 02 2025 1:55 am Still have 3 episodes to watch and hopefully I can get to it soon but this drama was a major disappointment. All this huge cast and big names and a story that is overly rushed and all over the place. The fight scenes were so cringe,like they moved so slow and barely know how to fight when they are a few thousand years old. It was jumping all over the place and considering the drama is called 12, 4 of the signs are not even there. It could have been promising and was highly anticipated but fell very short with just the way the direction went

anna Oct 01 2025 10:28 am the show is good. the park hyung sik is so handsome here.. we need second season and a prequel.... this series is more good than american bullshits.

Chavo Sep 28 2025 11:39 am It could be spectacular... Great actors... But it wasn't any good... I only kept watching it because of Kang Mi-Na. That's the only reason.

Darey Sep 24 2025 8:41 pm I'm sorry, the drama is so boring. and the introduction at the beginning is like marvel's 'Eternals', which gave me a bad feeling. and it was true, It's a waste of the actors. and to be honest i don't feel the chemistry.

pinkerton Sep 22 2025 9:40 am Good actors...But the story, script, location are bad. Character build up is weak. The story does not gel.

justafan Sep 20 2025 10:13 am I need prequel of this kdrama

Tililing Sep 18 2025 10:31 pm With this kind of ending, there better be a Season 2. But please more practice with the action scenes. Mirr’s action scenes are too soft considering that she was one of the 12 angels who vanquished evil from the world.

Lily Sep 18 2025 8:25 pm maybe I was expecting too much, but I dropped out of this show after the third episode. It was very cringe-worthy, idk why with all of these cast and idea, the writer and director failed to execute the story into an interesting story

El In Ah Sep 18 2025 11:51 am I really dissappointed.... Watching the whole cast is Extremely Talented. But because of the poor writing, and directory, they were like.... Clueless actors. I am so sad to see those actors wasting their talent for drama like this. Is it because you dont have more budget? Or you just want to finish off the filming quickly and get it air on time? I dont know who your main sponsor, but this is absolutely tiring and saddening to see. I try to find a good thing i can for the entire episode, but i cant. The theme is lacking here and there. I mean, Devil Should Be Meaner, Even Their Minion. And i dont know why angel could be like a clown. Atleast give only 2 or 3 angel who have funny character. Its like, Are You Trying To Make Sci-Fi Comedy drama here? I laugh out loud when jwidol eat bangwool herbs and end with mouth fill with poison. But thats all. Thats all. Please. Please if you really want to make for season 2, consider finding a good director and strong storyline.

kanin Sep 17 2025 8:26 pm I know it has low rating, but the story is good. And I'm waiting for season 2. Hope Ogwi resurrected and join the team.

Tandokazi Sep 17 2025 6:43 am They have imitation of Immortals [Hollywood series] and Old guard movie.. the entire time I could see the resemble but still poorly written . The demons were weak no brutality at all.. My Demon was 100 times better than this.. I don't like that guy with Tiger clothes ,why everyone likes him ,he is always putting his signature where ever he is , was it necessary for him to be on this series or maybe he is the investor ..truly disappointed. I only watched because of Park Hysik .

Ogwisux Sep 16 2025 7:30 am Ogwi: stall for me while I recover

Recovered Ogwi: fights and dies in 2 minutes

Elvy malazarte Sep 16 2025 4:28 am Is there a season 2 of twelve? I'm excited.

Jeryl Sep 15 2025 7:48 pm Dropped this in episode 3. Nothing happens! Fight scenes are luckluster. Waste of good cast and viewers’ time!

Drey Sep 15 2025 7:19 pm Is there going to be session 2, I feels so disappointed with what happened at the end of episode 8, it’s really confusing

Shin Sep 15 2025 7:06 pm Proof that even the best cast can’t make a show good. I was really looking forward for it to be released but I was greatly disappointed, it must be the dumbest show I have watched in a long time… I just finished the 5th episode and I only expect it to get worse. No wonder why the ratings kept plummeting after the 1st episode. Writing is so bad that I wholeheartedly agree with someone else who said it must have been written by AI

Spoilers warning!

So apparently in the 5th episode we can see Sung Dong-il waving his little wand and vanquishing the evil spirits with ease. So why didn’t he use it during the previous episodes?! LOL He only used it during that underground parking lot fight scene but instead of vanquishing them he just froze them for a few seconds… SMH And this is just the tip of the ridiculousness iceberg. I’m guessing he could use it to cure the old lady as well but whatever…

CourtyGirl Sep 15 2025 1:52 pm I watched it just because of Mirr and Ogwi's story; they ended up messing up. Nothing really happened, 8 episodes of a great cast, but no plot, and no development. And as it seems there will be a season two. Really?

Rebecca Bruce Sep 15 2025 9:14 am This KDrama was a hot mess of a lame script with a nonsensical storyline which made the acting woeful. Zilch character development with little or dumb back stories. This was either a botched AI production or it was made by students in the first year of film school.

The costumes and hair were from an 80s rock band mixed in with road kill. The sets and scenery looked cheap and thrown together by either a low budget or just lazy film crew.

The director, writers and the producers should be really embarrassed for even allowing this to air. The actors should fire their agents as no wonder none of them really promoted this.

Kate Sep 15 2025 6:32 am After finished watching this series, honestly all I can remember is Park Hyung Sik's handsome face

Mr Critic Sep 15 2025 3:31 am I just finished watching the whole episode, and honestly, there was no real character development. Viewers only get about 5–10 minutes to immerse themselves in O-Gwi and Mir’s love story, which makes it almost impossible to feel any real connection.

In one of the episode, Geum-Soon gets captured by the evils, and I remember Marok protecting her like a helpless human while the angel was fighting. Maybe in the same episode or the next, right before Marok was about to die, he suddenly became super powerful, defeating tons of evils and showing off his strength. I was like, seriously? While the angel was struggling and nearly losing while protecting Geum-Soon, Marok was just standing there. Later, they tried to explain it away by saying Marok needed time to heal his power and couldn’t use it continuously which honestly just felt like lame writing.

The whole show comes across as a weak “angels vs. darkness” setup, with Ma Dong-Seok portrayed as the great hero swooping in to save the day. The plot is extremely straightforward no twists, just the same cycle of fight → sudden power-up → victory. Then they try to add suspense in the final episode to hint at a possible season 2, which I highly doubt will ever happen given how weak the script is.

I also remember the part where Samin used dark magic on the dead zodiac body, letting evil possess it. After Samin died, the dead zodiac suddenly came back to life. Like… why? How did that even make sense? Did I miss something?

I seen some comments defending the show, but honestly, if you think this is good quality, it probably just means you haven’t watched many shows before which is understandable.

Geo Sep 14 2025 10:36 pm Thats a really bad directing... Dropped after 2 episodes... Not worth your time

Anita M Brown Sep 14 2025 9:13 pm Loved this. Great actors, but wish they were better with martial arts. Some had great skills, but the fight scenes were just a bit soft. Loved the mythology and traditional Asian elements. The special effects were fantastic. Totally loved Park Hung Sik, wow...he did a stunning job making his character both feared and pitied. He was fantastic. The whole set, photography, costumes, script, and direction was great. Totally loved this. They better have another season...we need more of Park Hung Sik...just didn't get enough.

mike Sep 14 2025 7:14 pm underperformed. had good theme but most actors/actresses spent entire episode doing nothing.

quite disappointed.

Mail Sep 14 2025 11:22 am At last bangwool can talk?

kdramalover99 Sep 13 2025 4:42 pm Thank goodness there’s only one episode left. I had to fast forward through the latest episodes. Really disappointing drama! The first two episodes showed potential but it gradually got worst as time went on. Even a huge star like Ma Dongseok couldn’t save this mess of a drama.

Amira Sep 12 2025 1:48 pm Lots of wasted time in the episodes, shooting actors not doing anything.

Christina Sep 10 2025 6:27 pm So let me ask this.... Were these slow a$$ episodes meant to be? As it is definite for a 2nd season? I Love, Love, Love the cast! I am confused as to why the story is a dog chasing it's own tail. I pray we get an understanding next week for the "conclusion".

 So much potential! So little story telling... It's all beginning and middle, beginning and middle...

Anonymous Sep 09 2025 11:00 pm I felt like this show had really great potential. But i felt like each episode was just a combination of one introduction episode that just dragged out everything just to essentially get no where. I really was wanting to like this show, but i felt like it wasted the talents of phenomenal actors/actresses. I also felt like throughout the whole drama some things were just missing that should’ve been there but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what they were supposed to be as if they were left in limbo. Kinda like portions of the storyline were missing. Idk, i just felt a bit bored and wished they done more with park hyungsik’s character as well. Him just standing around talking and staring most of the time just pretty much is a waste of his acting.

James Sep 09 2025 10:36 pm Was really looking forward to this but after the first two episodes really disappointed. Has to be the worst directed drama I've seen in quite a while. They even cast a Taiwanese actress that doesn't speak Korean and says nothing. The fight scenes are so sad that they have to shake the camera just to make it look more exciting. The acting is terrible in this from most of the cast especially Ahn Ji-Hye who usually isn't this bad.

SamCEst Sep 09 2025 9:44 pm The cast looked promising, but 6 episodes in, 2 episodes left, plot is going nowhere ? The acting is so bad as well. Especially the graphics and effects omg.

Sooo disappointing.

LetsEatPopcorn Sep 08 2025 11:02 pm I dropped this drama at 2nd episode. The character setting is so ridiculous. The leader so called "Angel" hates humans and doesn't want to do anything for human. Instead of secluding himself from humans, he's still living among them and lends money to human as a loan shark. The plot itself is so predictable. The Angel teams will fight against the devil to save the world. And the plot twist will be the relationship between the "Dragon" and the "Devil". This is a K-drama, of course there's a need for romance. Someone needs to tell Ma Dong Seok that he doesn't have talent for writing.

yedewi2762 Sep 08 2025 10:33 pm The cast was impressive, but unfortunately, the storylines fell short of expectations.

Kangji Sep 08 2025 8:58 am its giving twilight 2011. lol. too much plot holes and unnecessary action scenes. ma dong seok please back to ur lane ?

i just feels sorry to all the actors who join this project, i know u guys can act well. thank you for keep being professional ???

Lee Sep 08 2025 7:04 am no wonder this series falls flat. not only flat, i feel like this series should be Buried Forever And Forgotten. Because the writer and director in here has barely to no experience in writing or directing. nothing under their name. their portfolio is zero, i think they just made this series a Training Ground. poor thing. they should have hired a rookie actors/actress because they are super wasted in here.

I was expecting so much from this series, but to be honest, i feel so disappointed and sleepy. Concept good, execution Worst. Ma Dong-Seok, you should stick to acting and hire Good Writers And Directors Instead.

Cool Down Sep 07 2025 9:53 pm The Regina role is so usl_es$

Elza Sep 07 2025 7:45 am Writing a long epistle of say of this series is just another waste of effort and energy, in a nutshell It’s Sucks, felt so cringe watching the four episodes. Brr this series lack everything that has to do with a proper korean drama, the plot and everything that it’s entails sucks. Damn!!!!

Jojo Sep 07 2025 4:47 am Fell asleep on the couch watching this drama.

Stop watching the next episode, Don't waste my time on this suck drama. One of the worst in 2025

How can it got high rating nationwide in Korea. So lowest taste...

Kik Sep 07 2025 12:44 am What a waste of Park Hyung Sik’s acting. I feel like he hasn’t had many lines and most of his scenes are of him standing around pondering and thinking. Kinda frustrating

Dime a dozen Sep 07 2025 12:07 am Wait...what did I miss? Demons are out... let's go glamping?

Namj Sep 06 2025 12:35 pm The action scene is less. Ths kdrama known for fantasy-action drama so i expect powerful action scene... But just kick, punch, kick punch - normal action scene- gang action scene is more interesting than this

So i think if this kdrama show us fantasy action like scene fighting, it will hook many viewer... For example... The uncanny counter . More powerfull- hook viewer to keep watching- exciting. .

But for this drama, i think its boring.. even there have many popular actor / good actor in there.

Thats all.

Ne Sep 04 2025 9:18 pm Episode 1 nothing much happen, episode 2 nothing , episode 3 nothing… the whole drama is so boring , all they do is gather on dining table and talk , not much action. Stop watching it … boring to hell

Cahhh Sep 03 2025 10:57 am I don’t see anything wrong about this drama, if you look deep into the first 4 episodes you would understand that the yeah they were 12 angels and the four that were laid down were killed by someone if you watched the drama very much well so I hope to see more exciting flashbacks if you don’t understand the flashbacks then you can’t understand the scene moreover the angels lost there powers probably when trying to seal the Hellgate More flashbacks more exciting scenes

Yuna Sep 03 2025 7:26 am All those who are complaining about this drama here are just seeing the surface and not the deep story. It's another type of drama where the events are not in the right order but going back to the past and making us understand things smartly without explicitly telling them! Only smart people can get this and follow. I agree most of the good actors are not even talking too much, and everything is slow! But, there is a story and feelings and feelings It's a battle drama and not a family or romance drama, more like a video game. So please stop wasting your time by watching it and stop commenting here..

Sheenigummy Sep 03 2025 4:54 am I really wanted to like this drama but the script doesnt do any of the big named actors justice. The plot seems messy and there's a lot of action scenes but the substance is lacking. I'm not sure how long it will take before I abandon this drama.

ScottW Sep 02 2025 10:32 am Wow what a train wreck of a series! The script is bad the directing is terrible and the acting worse. Considering I like most of the actors in this series and all have done great performances in the past I can’t believe how bad the chemistry is between them all and nothing seems real even the implanted advertisements are hammed up so much it’s hard to watch. I agree with previous comments that there is no character development or real plot development to get you engaged with the story it just seems like the whole production was not well thought through and the actors have been left nothing to work with. As a result they are all just standing around wondering what’s going on here. How it has a rating of 94 so far is beyond me as most of the comments are very negative, there is a disconnect there. My rating would be 70 which is very low for this particular site. If it was IMDB it would be around 3.4! The last time I felt duped by a kdrama like this was The Uncanny Counter 2 which was so much worse than the good first season of that show.

Dozen Sep 02 2025 2:57 am Might as well be Zombies coz the stars put up such zombified performances

artalicous Sep 01 2025 3:38 pm After the first episode, I had mixed feelings about this drama. The story seemed promising, and the cast was full of actors I genuinely like, so I expected one of the best KDramas of the year. The opening fight scenes with Ma Dong-Seok, especially the slow-motion touches, felt different and gave me hope they were trying something new.

But four episodes in, disappointment set in. The plot is scattered, the “12 zodiacs” mostly sit around having meals, and the so-called villains just show up occasionally to stand around without real impact. The story feels aimless, with pacing so slow it kills any tension. At first, I wondered if my expectations were skewed because I had recently watched more intense action dramas, but reading other viewers’ comments confirmed it wasn’t just me; the show really is dragging.

The biggest letdown is how wasted the talent is. It feels as though the production paid for a star-studded cast but forgot to give them a real script. With Ma Dong-Seok co-writing, the lack of structure makes sense. He’s a brilliant action actor, but storytelling clearly isn’t his strength. Even the fight scenes, which should have been this drama’s highlight, fall flat.

What could have been bold and exciting instead turned into a failure. Ma Dong-Seok should stick to what he does best on screen and leave the writing to more experienced hands.

G Sep 01 2025 7:39 am Utterly duped into believing this show would be focusing on the 12 zodiac signs and the supposed powers they would be showing off. It might as well just be about Taesan and his henchmen. It’s like a typical Ma Dong Seok movie where he is the main person who does the punching and the rescuing, because the others (younger and fitter and more physically attractive) are all fodder. No character development, no real plot, no sense of urgency in anything. With only 8 episodes, time is wasted on supporting characters who aren’t even part of the angels group. Who cares about the old lady and her old male friend? Seriously one of the worst fantasy k dramas I have ever watched. Can’t believe it’s being rated so highly here.

Anna Aug 31 2025 10:09 pm Pathetic epic fail - this drama

tom Aug 31 2025 9:37 pm such a joke! waste of talent. no chemistry between characters. 80% eating show. 20%flashback.

ZaddyMama Aug 31 2025 10:25 am I had watched 4 episodes so far and I really don't agree with everyone saying that this is a waste of time. Many seems to be agreeing for the sake of agreeing. I am watching it because of the star-studded cast but I simply keep an open mind and watch how the story unfolds. The CGI is great, the acting so far has been ok. the only thing I didn't get is why call it twelve when you are only going to do the show with 8 angels? From Ep 3, we see that 4 angels had been killed which made Taesan so protective about his family and refusing to help humans. for those complaining so far, I suggest you stopped watching and not waste more time writing silly comments like this.

Mr Critic Aug 31 2025 2:55 am After 3 episodes, I can see why people say there’s no real character development. None of the characters feel engaging, and even the zodiac vs. darkness concept is poorly executed. The plot feels flat, with no emotion, and the darkness side isn’t even threatening just vague. For an 8-episode drama, I doubt they can tie everything together. It’ll probably stay slow, then rush at the end. With so many good actors, the weak script feels like a waste. Also, revealing in episode 3 that the zodiac has no powers killed my interest. If they suddenly gain powers in episode 7 or 8, it’s just going to feel forced and lame.

Christina Aug 30 2025 9:02 am I 100% agree with Cathy! I rarely watch American TV shows now .. 8 episodes is not enough to get the plot points across. Come on Disney... Do better!!! Lov all the cast they are super stars given this wonky script.

DustYi Aug 30 2025 2:20 am the cinematics dont feel compelling. everything feels raw and unprocessed. the fight scenes are off and they dont give off that adrenaline kick like theyre supposed to.

First Ep si ok!! Mid to last bits are the only good ones tbh cgi is wonderful (for now, i hope they keep pushing out good effects :) )

i hope it gets better and better as time goes on :,( i literally ove seo in guk w my life, and the cast is so beautiful i really hope this ill be good :D

Cathy Aug 29 2025 12:27 am I love stories like this. But the script is vague and dialogue poorly written. The acting is Americanized with fast short scenes, no real conversation and no real character development. Nothing is natural and everything is scripted. You dont know the characters enough to care about them. It is sad, because these are amazing actors with nothing to really work with. With this many characters, this needs to be 20 episodes. It's from Disney, a failing dynasty, which explains a lot. I am american, rarely watch American shows. Korean directors do not need to copy bad. Your much better.

Yuna Aug 28 2025 12:24 pm I can't wait for next Saturday !!! It's amazing so far! Please stop complaining the whole time and have faith in such amazing actors!!! Stop watching if you will write strange comments afterwards.

Netty Aug 28 2025 6:48 am For me Seo In-guk is perfect for villain carracter

may Aug 26 2025 12:14 pm waiting for na in woo, han yeji, bae yoo ram, han jaein?I hope ogwi go back to the team, be a good man?

Luna M Aug 26 2025 12:48 am based on the character so far:

tae-san = tiger won-seung = monkey (wonseung means monkey) mirr = dragon (mi-reu means dragon) do-ni = pig kang-ji = dog jwi-dol = mouse (jwi is mouse) mal-sook = horse (mal is horse) bang-wool = snake (assuming they used snake venom for theatment) yangmi = goat (yang is sheep) dalgi = rooster

only left with ox and rabbit but heard that they will only be the guest role so

mypark09 Aug 25 2025 10:59 pm story and dialogue sucks. What a waste of talent on these incredible actors..

mypark09 Aug 25 2025 10:57 pm @abraham based on the character's name: won seung = monkey, do ni = pig, kang ji = dog, jwi dol = mouse, mal sook = horse, bang wool; = snake (i assumed since there are many snakes pictures in the clinic), but i'm not sure about the rest.

abraham Aug 25 2025 8:54 pm i dont know who is dragon, ox, horse, goat, monkey, dog etc.. yes, i know only tiger is ma dong seok

Anita M Brown Aug 25 2025 7:23 pm Perfect for me. Love mythology, hate anime, so this is the characters coming alive. I miss the Ox/Taurus, me. Great, stellar casting, the best photography and special effects, costumes, the whole package here. Agree hand combat could be better, but wait a few eps and they will be better. Love the cast and yes, the bad guy is so very Dashing.

Otome Aug 25 2025 11:46 am Too many characters that don't stand out and are forgettable. The fighting scenes are laughable, the plot is weak, and the acting is a joke .I was yawning and could not focus at all during these two episodes. From the moment I saw the synopsis, I thought it would be bad, and I was so right. I doubt it will get better.

jojo Aug 25 2025 8:26 am worse.... how can don took this part..

much much better moving than twelve

disappointed

mimimomo Aug 25 2025 7:45 am Half way through ep1, almost fell asleep. So not sure if im gonna continue.

Poche Aug 25 2025 6:05 am As everyone says this series is boring and a waste of time. The script and dialogue also sucks. Imagine don lee asking for pain medication from human doctor yet he have 2 healers in his group that treats humans of all kinds of ailments.

The actors also doesnt have chemistry with each other. The taiwanese actress doesnt have a dialogue probably bec she isnt fluent in korean lol

Ant Aug 24 2025 2:35 pm OK, I had huge expectations about this drama, but it turned out to be very disappointing. Two episodes in and we barely know what’s going on. Was the dog scene really necessary? It was like 10 minutes of nothing relevant to the storyline. Characters are not being developed. I haven’t connected with anyone. It feels like they’re going in circles and actually giving us nothing. In the last minute, they give us a fighting scene and it was very cringe to watch the transitions were not good and almost felt like a choreography that didn’t well landed. Oh my God, I was so waiting for something similar to judge from hell from last year, but I don’t know if I should keep watching this.

Fai Aug 24 2025 12:12 pm Still waiting for the angels to show their full potentials/powers. I saw it somewhere that the Ox (Na In-woo), Goat (Han Ye-ji), and Rabbit (Bae Yoo-ram) are guest roles. I'm curious who is the Rooster, because they're just 8 plus the 3 guest roles who might be cameos.. and who is Dal-gi?

Prisca Aug 24 2025 11:34 am Wasting of data, time and everything. Boring story

Yoori Aug 24 2025 10:27 am It's so boring,.I'm crying. It was a good cast but I'm so disappointed by the storyline ?

G Aug 24 2025 9:06 am 8 episodes of 45 to 48 minutes each, and 25% has already been shown… AND we are wasting time with cringey scenes eating fried chicken and interacting with lame attempts at comedy, with repetitive scenes of ML beating up thugs.

Luc Aug 23 2025 1:15 am Hahaha! It's also on Disney+

Power of the zodiac signs.

PANDORA Aug 22 2025 12:11 pm Man I wish this was releasing on one of the Big 3's platform. The cast is stellar so I'm not worried about the acting but popularity wise it would've been better to if it was released by Netflix; Disney; or Prime. Nonetheless, anything with Ma Dong and I'm sat!

idleatwork Aug 20 2025 10:40 pm ohmygod song song il and seo in guk reuniteddddd

itsnottoday Aug 15 2025 3:44 am can't wait for this drama !

Rebecca Donaldson May 12 2025 3:15 pm What station will twelve air? Will the movie have English subtitles? Please air the movie on Netflix or Disney

tim Apr 03 2025 4:16 pm This Cast! Lee Jubin, Seo Inguk, Kang Mina, Ko Kyupil, Ma Dongseok, Pak Hyungshik, and of course veteran of bizillions of kdramas/kmovies Song Dongil.. Hope I can see it sooner rather than later!

Leah Lewis Mar 27 2025 2:17 pm Please include Ji Chang Wook …. He will add such a huge dynamic to the KDrama ….Please!

Natty d Dec 25 2024 2:46 pm OMG - Cast - chefs kiss

Jillibean Dec 25 2024 5:05 am Sounds interesting though generally I am leery about dramas that are about an evil spiritual world. Can't resist this cast, however, it is loaded with favorite actors. :)

Gemini Nov 28 2024 6:39 am Park hyung sik is not a villan. He is one of the zodiac angel to fight against an evil beings.

HanDju Nov 20 2024 9:50 pm WoW Daebak Chang

binnie Nov 18 2024 1:09 am another year, another new project for yoobin! very excited with this!! hope our Bin got many screen time in this drama~

Halogen92 Nov 16 2024 3:54 pm Hoping Kang Mi Na features in a lead role

Edna Nov 05 2024 11:09 am Definitely anticipating this drama. Wow, Park Hyung Sik in his villian era. Fighting Fav Oppa?

Miles Oct 24 2024 5:57 am Park Hyung-sik in his evil era? I'm sat!
