So beautiful it hurts
15 January 2023
First let me say I'm not Asian and I don't speak any Asian languages or know anything about Asian culture/myths. So I'm sure I missed a lot of important details because of this and I'm not used to this style of storytelling. But I've developed quite a fondness for Korean dramas recently which have now spoiled me and I can't stand Hollywood blockbusters anymore. LOL

With that being said, the story is a bit confusing at first but soon you get what's happening. The visuals are beautiful, the CGI is perfect, the action scenes are exciting but not overly violent or gory, and there is no nudity or sex. The acting is superb! Being used to over acting from Western actors with plastic faces, bulging muscles and blinding white teeth, this feels otherwordly in the best of ways. The soundtrack really transports you to a different world. The story is unique and I found myself invested in the characters immediately. I would love to see this as a series!

And OMG Asian men with long black hair are my new favorite thing (with all due respect).
