Reviews & Thoughts
"Twelve" is a South Korean sword and sorcery, supernatural mash up. Angels bestowed with supernatural animal powers, are tasked with defending humanity, from evil. Whilst not terribly original, this series is scripted competently, offering up a mix of action, intrigue and personal drama, that makes for an engaging, if not compelling, watch. Downsides include a mixed bag of action. Some is well done but others times, it feels lackluster. Special effects are only okay. In summary, "Twelve" is a watchable South Korean fantasy/supernatural action drama. It scrapes in, only just getting a 7/10, from me.
