Worth watching
Honestly, I didn't read the summary of this one. I just saw the title and thought "it sounds kind of cool," watched and was not disappointed. I was surprised at what general met in the bridal chamber & half laughed in shock. The beginning feels a bit rushed, but the cast has great chemistry. Kathy Chow & Mark Du both portrayed their characters really well. I wouldn't have minded if this was a series and then we'd get to see if Princess Wang Xuan could find a solution - defy the odds girl! Don't know what I mean? Watch it & see. <3Was this review helpful to you?
DECENT FANTASY ROMANCE PERIOD MOVIE
I was looking for a horror movie and came across this and it's a habit of mine to dive in without knowing anything and since it was tagged as a horror movie I just dived inWhat I got was a romantic fantasy period movie
Even if my watched list contains only A handful of Chinese period themed movies...I have always loved period Chinese movies more than any other genre from the industry
So this time too visually it was too beautiful with the setup frames and gorgeous costumes and all but the special effects even though over looks okayish did felt weak to mea at certain places
Had no issues with pacing as the movie is barely over 80mins
The plot is something we have all already seen many times before
But it was the acting cinematography and direction that saved me from boredom
The action scenes were also just watchable
The scores were decent and loved the end credit song💖
Also the emotional scenes and tones were effective and I could empathize with the character
So overall its a good fantasy romantic period movie but just don't dive in thinking it's a horror movie...even if it has elements of the genre in it

Hint - It's only an hour & 20 minutes LOL
Do you know those really random and bizarre dreams you have after a late night curry that has you waking up at 3am in a haze wondering what happened? That's what this movie feels like.It goes off with a bang. No warning. No introduction. No reasoning. Just bam. Demon wife. Random General clearly in love and fought for her hand but she hates him and wants the prince. Cue the shortest quest for a cure I've ever seen ending in an anti climatic big reveal that's not really reveal if you any kind of foresight. And then it just kind of ends.
I guess it's meant to follow one of those folklore style stories that always seems to have a randomly depressing ending but hey, it was Friday night and I wasn't doing anything LOL But hey, it made me laugh so sure. 10/10 LOL
