Recommendation Challenge feb 2025
Watch this 2 times. 1st because of Neo & all the CGI & cast, but drop it cause I don’t feel this is my vibe. 2nd because of the Recommendation Challenge from Hanshu. And since it’s a Challenge, of course that means I need to get this done… Haha… But till the end I still stand with my first impression; Great drama, amazing CGI, amazing cast, but still not for me. Haha…
As usual, story first…
Story about a great demon, Zhao Yuan Zhou (YZ), who visits & was captured at the demon-hunting bureau. At the same time, the demon-hunting bureau suddenly received the task to unravel the mystery regarding the water demon. And with the Chong Wu Camp order, they formed a team; Wen Xiao (WX), Zhuo Yi Chen (YC), Pei Si Jing (SJ), Bai Jiu (BJ) & lastly YZ.
YC started the journey with a huge grudge against YZ, cause YZ is the one that killed YC’s family, YC & YZ also had a pack that YZ will die in the hands of YC. But with this journey their feelings toward each other also changed.
SJ started the journey with a huge scar regarding her younger brother. BJ started the journey with a mission on his own & problem with his dad at home.
WX turns out has a special status. After searching, they find out she is the reincarnation Bai Ze goddess. But with the revealing of this fact, their journey just began to a whole new level…
Together they embark the journey to bring peace for humans & punish the demon that made the chaos in the world. Before the journey started, each of them had a burden on each of their shoulders. But this journey finally teaches them how to hold it together, how to share their burden to each other & not only think it as their own burden, cause now they have each other.
That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Great CGI, great fighting choreography, great acting, good story
+ Great friendship between all our lead
+ Good nasty old villain. The villain is one of the most evil in the Xian Xia story.
+ The ending... Where the cast dancing... Oh yeah that's quite a show to watch...
What I don't like:
- I don’t know what, but it just doesn't really click with me.
Overall this is quite an interesting story to watch.
