A Good Storytelling With Well Crafted Characters!!
If you are familiar with Guo Jing Ming’s directorial style, then you must know that each of his narratives are delicately curated!!
The stunning costumes, settings designed exquisitely to match the tone of the storytelling and ensemble casting that blow your minds- all these truly encompass every show or movie that he directs. Guo Jing Ming is one of those directors who has no qualms projecting a grandeur, so much so, that other shows pale in comparison. “Veils of Shadows” follows the same formulaic depiction of mystical characters, their struggles and romance. Guo Jing Ming’s stories aren’t always focused on depicting love stories, they are more centered towards portraying characters that are intuitively intriguing and yet compellingly diffident. Each character has a story to tell, their past and present colliding into a perfect conjecture. However, this was my first time watching a main lead portray two different variants, a protagonist and an antagonist. It was shocking, sublime yet interesting beyond words. Words fail to express my delight while savoring this potboiler cooked with delicacy and moderation.
