The best thing about this series is there are no annoying love triangles. Yes, there are some that like the main character but they don't go and push themselves on to the main leads. Instead, I should say this is a mature love story (I mean, the main leads' age added together is almost 80). There is no unnecessary jealousy or misunderstanding but focuses more on their jobs and their relationship development instead of conflict.

The main characters are also not perfect. The main girl is very short tempered, haughty almost. You might hate her in the first half of the series but as someone who is also short-tempered, I fully understand her actions. And who doesn't want a bff like Chen Shao Cong?

There are some mistakes in the medical part but f*** that. I'm not watching this to learn to become a doctor.

The music is fine and doesn't bother me in any way.

Personally, I was quite surprised to actually enjoy this. I was just dragged to the movie theater (never seen the teasers, never even knew this movie existed) but I loved this.

1) It's quite funny. So, Kim Jahong died a heroic death and was said to be a saint spirit(?) so, he goes on the afterlife with three guardians of death to go through trials to see whether he has sinned in his life. But the trials are like the normals trials in court in the real world and the prosecutors are quite dumb and funny. Heronmak is also quite rebellious and Jahong doesn't really listen well to the 3 guardians of death.

2) The CGI is great. it's almost game like (which I like) and the fights are epic. I must also point out the outfit designs are on point, especially the 3 guardians of death. Heronmak's weapon is also one of the coolest weapons I've ever seen in movies and games.

3) The actors were great and fit their character well.

4) The story also touches on the hardships of life and relationship between family, which I didn't expect at all but I pleasantly enjoyed it while crying nonetheless. There's also some twist and turns.

This is my review. Maybe I think highly of it because I didn't expect this at all but this is one of those movies that I thoroughly enjoy.

Why it's better than the drama series:

1) Xiao Nai is not a stalker.
2) Less shitty and dramatic unnecessary characters.
3) Better graphics
4) etc....

The story is still basically the same but Wei Wei is less of a goody two shoes and Xiao Nai is less of a stalker than the drama series. They also cut all the unnecessary drama (movie time limit but works well) and made the characters better. The progression between the main leads are more understandable and Wei Wei is quite funny and laid back in this movie. The graphics for the game parts are better but it's probably because the movie has a higher budget. lol

Anyhow, enjoyed it but will probably rewatch it after a year or so
