Another Mystery of Song Ci
NOTE: After much confusion I discovered the title in iQIYI and the title here in MDL is different. This movie has a different title in iQIYI - Work Vain Song Ci. My feedback and rating is for (titled here in MDL )as Forensic Scientist Song Ci: The Fraud
I enjoy Dee Renji and Song Ci movies and surprised that there's no review for this movie yet.
Plot is around Song Ci - SC assisting the emperor get back his throne after being plotted against by his trusted Shaman.
The production is not a huge budgeted film. It is simple yet perfectly done for each scenes. The location shoot was minimized but it didn't affect the way the story was relayed on the screen. Wardrobe was perfect for each scenes and each character that you won't feel slighted as a viewer. Even though it wasn't elaborate, the focus was majnly on the story.
I like that the simplicity of this movie still provided a satisfying watch.
The artists who played each character were professionals. They portrayed their character well enough even tho there are couple who probably could have rendered their lines and facial expressions better. This didn't impact the overall outcome of the movie anyways for me.
I am recommending this movie for anyone interested in period, costume and mystery movie.
Was this review helpful to you?
