I rarely submit reviews, but I could not ignore this outstanding film series.
The story line was as exotic and wonderfully unexpected as the set environments and costuming. The casting was truly perfect! The humor, joy and tragedy kept it's magnetic hold on the audience.
Though I've worked in the TV Broadcast & post-production for many years, being a westerner (Texan), I am fully aware I lost a good deal of understanding and depth in translation as well as through my gross lack of knowledge of the Chinese history, culture, and beliefs.
However it did not hinder me from being enthralled with this saga and being enamored with the richness of story, acting, costuming, set design and SFX.
My hats off to everyone involved in this grand and glorious Chinese fantasy romance epic with great lively humor. And the music was amazing!
It indeed compels one to learn more about the history and culture of China and it's regions.
Thank you again for this awe inspiring work. I sincerely hope you make another series of episodes with the same cast, or at least as many of these most talented actors and actresses as possible.
