I like the way it shone✨
To be completely honest, I personally love this movie. Despite all the criticisms it received right after releasing the trailer. The CGI is very well constructed, such as the monsters, the backdrops, and when they use their skills. I may feel this way because I haven't read the novel or the webtoon, but even if I had, I wouldn't say this adaptation is any worse. Certain points include how much effort the crew has put into this project.
For such a fantasy-packed, well-written source material to turn into something visually believable isn't an easy feat. The whole time watching ORV, I felt like I was literally drawn into their world as a bystander, watching everything unfold; how they tear each other apart due to greed, how people became the actual 'monsters' in the world when faced with life-and-death situations, and how there's still hope in humanity as long as we change...one after another. The CGIs and the ensemble cast's brilliant acting made this all happen.
Talking about acting, I would give my utmost praise to all the cast members, especially our adorable Lee Gil Young and the steadfast Jung Hui Won. Oh, and not to forget our soldier guy, Lee Hyeon Seong~ Na Na did an exceptionally great job here! Her action choreography is top-notch! Additionally, our little Gil Young is so cute whenever he does that pose to call forth the insects~ XD
Another unpopular opinion of mine would be about Pil, the Goblin. He's a cute chap in my point of view. He's the "cute, but can k!ll" type of existence. His 'cooperation' (kind of) with Kim Dok Ja was interesting, and I love him getting confused whenever Dok Ja mentions something that the new 'players' aren't supposed to know. He could become a good partner lol XD
My only dissatisfaction is that there were so many unanswered questions for this movie, and although it wrapped well, I hope there will be a continuation. The open ending has hinted at new possibilities, which could take an intriguing turn (hopefully) in the future. However, I doubt there will be one with how the reactions were.. :'D It's quite sad though...
