Maybe it's because this is the first version of Legend of the White Snake I saw, but I liked it. While it wasn't memorable and did not leave a lasting impression (what was up with that ending?!), felt that attempts were made with the cinematography, casting, and music.
Casting
- Good chemistry between the leads! Ju Jingyi is really beautiful -- fits these kinds of roles really well. I liked how they attempted to make Xu Xian more independent. I just wished they pushed him a bit more. He was a bit ... flat. One thing I need my characters to have is the ability to grow and develop. They did a bit for this one, but not what I hoped them to.
Cinematography
- Beautiful. There were just a few scenes that looked really washed out (I had to adjust my tv to accommodate this) -_-
Music
- Probably my favorite thing about the show. Beautifully positioned and composed. Give the music director a raise!!!
Overall a good version, 8/10!
