By far the best storyline ever. My most favourite actors are Joseph Zeng (Wuji), Chen Yuqee (Zhoa Min) and Han Haolin ( 10 year old Wuji). Their acting skills is the greatest of all. I love the chemistry between Wuji and Zhoa Min that was so beautiful to see on the screen I even got goosbumps everytime they were together, just wonderful to watch. The scenery is amazing , the wardrobe ( clothing) is beautiful especially the farmer clothing. The music is much better then the former versions, especially the song heavenly sang by Zhou Shen. For me this is the best movie ever in 2019.
This was a great remake. Yang Xiao really stood out, he’s very charismatic and handsome. I just wished he had more scenes towards the last few episodes. I don’t know why they left him out, the character would’ve contributed a lot to the war against the Yuan.
