Good plot, good acting
The plot is fresh and engaging, with a touch of the old-school supernatural charm reminiscent of classic Liaozhai-inspired stories. The characters are well-developed, and even the supporting roles are portrayed with depth and conviction — each with their own compelling backstory.
Visually, the film is impressive, with strong investment in both art direction and special effects, creating an immersive and atmospheric world.
The only downside is the altered ending, which feels less impactful and leaves several early story elements unresolved. It’s a pity, as the film had built up so much momentum, only to lose some of its emotional payoff in the final act.
