An Epilogue

A ten minute epilogue (not so much a prequel) of how the two main characters (couple, CP) spends the rest of their days together. On episode 41 on Tencent/WeTVA portrays a century later, where the CP spends their marriage life as sword spirits. Based on how the drama “ended” (episode 40), it led viewers to believe both of the main characters had sacrificed their lives to the save the realms.

This epilogue is much needed for the happy ending I needed. It’s a wrap!

Superstitious or Not

Dropped the movie after 45 minutes into it. This movie is said to be “based on a true story”, so I did some researching. Read several articles regarding the actual event that apparently took place and how the general public felt. As summarized above, this movie portrays a woman being cursed as a result of committing a religious taboo. I am not a superstitious person, but I also don’t want to disrespect and meddle in religious practices that I’m unfamiliar with.

I’ve come across reviews stating how immersive this movie is; it gave viewers the impression as if they’re included and part of the events occurring. With that being said, a large population of viewers in Asia (where the depicted religion stems from) felt that the movie guides its audiences to unconsciously perform/re-enact rituals leading to being cursed. Those who are superstitious or believers of these rituals felt that they were tricked into committing the religious taboos and cursed.

A solid 7-7.5/10 based on the acting, plot, and production. Excellent cinematography for a found footage film.
