Stunning, Thrilling, Classic Xianxia
First of all I must gush over how visually stunning and well put together this whole movie was, like wow. The CGI, the sets, the costumes every single frame was just beautiful and don't get me started on the action scenes. Every fight was beautifully choreographed and elegant, really candy for the eyes.
The acting was also phenomenal.
I'm a huge fan of xianxia and wuxia, I read tons of xianxia and wuxia novels and I don't often see such high quality xianxia on Netflix so I was really happy when this came out.
For those who aren't familiar with the genre, or stories like this, they may not have understood the high fantasy concepts, the universe, the world building or the drive behind most characters. Admittedly the story doesn't go out of it's way to explain the setting too much so for the unfamiliar layman who decides to watch it they might be confused.
As a hardcore fan of the genre I already had that background knowledge so I was quite blown away with the whole story and excited by everything.
It also helps that I've read the source material that this film is based on "Onmyoji" by Yumomakura Baku.
For fans of Wuxia and Xianxia this is a must watch!!!
