The makeup artists, editing, and cgi could have been better but the producers probably just needed more resources to work with in this series. So the production of The Taoism Grandmaster seemed low to moderate budget.
Acting ranged from poor to good for most of the cast. There were some exceptions that gave very good to excellent performances. Xu Hao (Liuli) gave an outstanding performance. I think she is very talented and underrated as an actress.
The story was entertaining and i binged watched it fairly quickly. I think it was good but there were aspects that could have had been improved on. I didnt like the male lead character some of the time especially his attitude and treatment of Liuli during their interactions throughout much of the series.
I don't really remember the soundtrack other than the opening song.
Although there were many imperfections in this series i was more entertained by it than some other series i have recently watched. So i think it had good entertainment value. However, the last several episodes were not a good way to finish a series or story imo. The final episode alone would need to be completely reworked to not be awful.
Overall this is an okay series and worth watching. Unfortunately some of the issues i've mentioned held down the overall rating.
I doubt i will ever fully rewatch it but i think there may be others happy to do so.
