Good first episode overall especially with the way it established the main premise and characters so far. Well at this rate, Yona is going to have to get stronger if she wants to live in this world.

I don't like Soo-won much though.

Spoiler for Episode 1:

Pierrot kicking things to the max again with this series. Visuals are perfect with all the vibrant colors and a marvelous setting reminiscient of ancient China with a bit of feudal Korean feel to it. The cast is well-done and I liked what they did to Yona in the adaptation. I can't judge much things yet even though I have read the manga, but I can say that Pierrot did a good job handling the fights without resorting much to a series of still frames compared to others. Looking forward to watch the rest.

Yona's music composer, Kunihiko Ryo, is a ethnic Korean raised in Japan. Under his Korean name Yang Bang-ean, he's done quite a few music contributions for Korea's music.

One of his composing acheivements is his rendition of Korean folk song Arirang, performed at the inauguration ceremony of South Korean President Park Geun-Hye in 2013.
He also performed his rendition at the handover segment of this year's Winter Olympics closing ceremony in Sochi, Russia, to mark Pyeongchang as the 2018 hosts.
(Kunihiko's playing the piano. The singers are jazz singer Na Yoon Sun(in red) and soprano Jo Soo Mi(in white)).
