Spoiler-free review since there are no others and more people should watch this
What I liked:1) The action scenes! They were phenomenal and amazing to watch. Kudos to the choreographer or the person who was coming up with the moves since the fighting scenes felt fresh and not over the top.
2) The comedy! I wasn't expecting this movie to make me laugh but it did. There were awesome situational jokes and also a few running gags and I loved all of them. "The emperor wants me to go buy him onions!" was one of my favourites (it doesn't make any sense but watch it and it will :D).
3) The detective trio! They were all strong and it was nice to see a sword-fighting woman in this. Also the case actually made a lot of sense as there were clues scattered throughut the movie.
4) The OST! Honestly, I wasn't paying much attention to the music but during the credits, there is a great catchy song that is supposed to be sung by the characters of the movie and is so much in their characters, I loved it.
What I disliked:
1) The CGI was... weird at the best, but it was only there for around ten seconds so all good (and on the other hand, the make-up effects were great!)
(Next paragraph is slightly spoiler-ish but nothing major about the plot, most of this happens within the first ten minutes of the movie.)
2) There was a female sect of really cool ladies at the beginning but they all died within the first five minutes. :/ Also the FL was a strong woman, who could protect herself, but her biggest motivation troughout the movie was to marry the ML so... I wish we could see more sides of her. And this is a nitpick but I think she was dubbed as she had this over the top pitchy and whiny voice.
***
This movie earned 8.5/10 rating from me and I hope for a sequel!
Fun fact: This movie first caught my attention due to its long title, not this offical one but one of the names of this movie is "The Brocade Mouse Royal Cat Nine Deep Blood Wolf". Yes, there are no commas. No, I have no idea where the the word "nine" comes from since the word "wolf" is singular and it makes no sense either if if belongs to the "Royal Cat".
