Reviews
trashy/throwaway film
I stumbled upon this randomly and from the poster alone, I already know that it's going to be a throwaway film. Still, I decided to give it a watch since I'm bored.The story is pretty much bog-standard. I love watching trashy Films because I want to know what bad and good media are. The Fighting scenes are good, paired with good camera directing. Whoever the Art Director and Choreographer in this film are, props to them since I can see the vision that they want to show. It amazed me because my expectations going into this film were so low that it shocked me. It came out of nowhere.
The characters are entertaining. They didn't make me laugh, but I could see someone laughing at the things that they were doing. Both the FL and Antagonist FL stood out to me because of their emotional scenes. I felt the emotion. The ML, I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I know him from 'Lighter & Princess' so that's a plus because I know he can do comedy. The Taoist is obviously written to be quirky. He's entertaining, loved his fighting scenes.
Overall, a trashy/throwaway film. If you're looking for a good-written story, then this is not for you. You have to turn your brain off, if you want to give this a watch or be drunk I guess. Set your expectations very low then you will find this entertaining.
