Plots(1)
A certain country in the demon world. The Demon King was defeated by the hands of one of the heroes, and a competition was held for the title of the New Demon King. The Imperial Four Heavenly Kings Vermilio, who is in charge of the tournament, is furious at the participation of the human hero Helck, who is supposed to be his enemy. After receiving news of the fall of the castle of Urum before the final, Vermilio sets out to retake Urum Castle with Helck and other finalists. With a smile, Helck says, "Let's destroy humans." Are those words true? The truth behind the smile is... (HIDIVE)

I'm torn about giving Helck 4 stars considering the series just doesn't fully click with me. The hero is a standout character, and his relationship with Vermilio is truly engaging, but beyond that, there's little that grabs my attention. Visually and musically, it strikes me as average, with battles that feel bland and lackluster. The pacing is another issue; the series seems to stumble in some areas while rushing through others, leaving certain parts feeling underdeveloped. The blend of drama and comedy also falls short for me. At times, these elements clash awkwardly, and the creators struggle to evoke the intended mood. Yet, amidst these shortcomings, I can't help but sense hidden potential. I wonder what a more skilled team with a larger budget could achieve with this premise. Additionally, I'm curious to see how the story will conclude, which might make me give a potential second season a chance. However, I'm also considering exploring the manga, as it might work better for me. To sum up, Helck has the potential to be great, but many aspects strike me as average, and there are moments where things just don't quite click. While I'd like to award it 4 stars, even if they'd be generous, it ultimately falls closer to a 6/10 for me.
