Snow Fall - Well don!
I feel the storyline was wonderful. And I am unsure whether these are your typical vampires. I don't think so. I think they are different, since they can reproduce, so there must be a human element to them. I found the cinematography, plot and majority of the acting to be refreshing. The costumes, music and special effects were all well done.
Unlike some, I love the chemistry between Gao Wei Guang and Ouyang Nana. However, I feel that that they needed to step it up a notch and they didn't got far enough cinematically, as well as in the storyline. I have a feeling that has to do with the May/December romance and the inability of the production to handle it well. Lest we forget that these people mentally and emotionally were aging whether their bodies were or not. Honestly it is hard not to feel a romantic anything when we are talking about Gao Wei Guang. I think those of you who didn't feel the attraction between the characters are a bit repressed, but that's just me. I do think however, it would have helped if they had allowed Mi Lan to mature a bit more in her role.
I found a few were miscast. Like Wei Lian was too young to play that role. It should have been played by someone who was in their early 30's and looked it. While his acting was very well done, Visually, I found it difficult to believe him. Ryan Ren who played a role younger than him looked older than him. If Shen Zhi Heng had aged to around 40 in 100 years and was not a pure blood hybrid of whatever these people turned into, than Wei Lian his younger purebread brother should have been around 32 in looks.I also thought that Liang (Ryan Ren) acting was a bit over the top at parts.
All that said, I cannot give this a 10 because I think the characters should have been more developed, and gone to the next level. But all is all it was great and interesting.
