Netflix’s: The Letter For The King Thoughts *Spoilers*

I give it a 5 out of 10

 It had all the elements you want in a story but it fell short

Beautiful shots and the music score is pretty

You’ll enjoy it and probably be hooked within the first few episodes but likely be disappointed with the end

It’s good but I can’t see it having a hardcore fandom like GOT or the Witcher (though if people would like to prove me wrong and write fics fixing it I would not object)

After all it has the key foundation for every good fic: AMAZING CHARACTERS!

I would die for Tiuri and he must be protected at all costs

Andy Serkis is a treasure

I kept noticing the girl playing Lavinia, his daughter, looked a lot like him

TURNS OUT IT IS HIS DAUGHTER! (Great actress)

I called Jussipo and Foldo liking each other from the start

THEIR KISS WAS SO PURE AND PERFECT!

BUT NETFLIX TOOK IT AWAY

*sobs*

Can the film industry please stop killing off gay characters?

It’s not woke, just tragic

Also, what up with that death and funeral scene? No one, not even the brother, cried! Yeah, the singing was sweet but no emotion. At all. 

Justice for Jussipo (also couldn’t Lavinia have healed him instead of just starting? I would have at least appreciated Tiuri or Foldo begging her to heal him and her saying she overexerted her powers with a wobbly voice)

Killing Piak would’ve been more emotionally devastating to me and for the characters because he’s the true symbol of innocence and purity. 

Instead, I’m just pissed off

I hate/love Iona

Point for not just being a badass female character but also a complex girl who just wants to be someone and prove she’s better than others only for it to be her downfall (plot wise at least)

The father-daughter dynamic between her and Jaro though is my fav

The scene where he spares her life and where he runs after her are pure gold

Arman is a pain in the ass but his redemption journey is well executed (similar to Draco except his father is an uncaring ass)

Btw, couldn’t someone have punched Fantumar? OR at least show him being branded a traitor. 

Monastery episode is my favorite

I really thought Prince Viridian was going to kiss Jabroot

Honestly, if you think of those two as love interests the scene where Jabroot tries to kill him its more emotionally devastating. Like can you imagine their story? Jabroot hating the man he works for but at the same time with all the time they’ve spent together, he falls for him? And he tries to break through the Stockholm but he can’t? Someone write it, please. 

I have no emotional attachment to any of the royal characters. They’re all boring. 

Faramir/Dilios (Sir Tiuri) clearly cost the show too much and that’s why it was only 6 episodes and why it was rushed. 

Sorry, this was long but part two will focus on the plot twist and finale because it really deserves its own section.
