I don't know about others experience, but I 100% enjoyed the series and the actors in general really did a great job. It definitely wasn't cringe to me.. I re-watched it like 5 times and I really, absolutely LOVED it!!, I can't wait for season 2 tho, I highly recommend it to someone that would love seeing two worlds collide, and someone who's willing to be able to read subtitles as well because some parts are in Hangul . But all in all it was very exciting and unpredictable as well ๐
