'Gyeongseong Creature' Review: Netflix’s K-Drama Plays Monster Peek-a-Boo

While all monster stories must withhold their central creature at least a little bit, this series keeps it in the shadows to its own detriment.

Gyeongseong Creature falls short of its potential, feeling drawn out and lacking energy and fun.
The series struggles to balance its historical backdrop and human drama, often seeming to forget its own monster.
Moments with the well-designed creature are highlights, but the rest of the series lacks impact and fails to fully utilize its monster.
