Male kpop is like the reverse of the hair bands in the 80s. Its as if women dressed up as men and formed a band. Not to mention the generally "clean" image.
I feel like this (given the same production value/actors) would have made a way better series than it did a movie. For as long as it was I don't really feel like much was accomplished with the story.
They need to get back to AC's roots (which sounds like they are). I hate the leveling, I hate the gear, I hate the gear with levels. AC 1 and 2 were great. Couldn't get into 3 and I loved the shit out of 4 due to the fun sea combat complete with shanties.
