From its casting and plot to its cinematography and special effects, every aspect of this film was masterfully executed. Even with the lead actress's very unnatural, surgically-enhanced face, audiences could still find a certain beauty in it.
At first, people thought this was thanks to the styling. But then, makeup bloggers started posting tutorials imitating the looks of the main cast, and everyone was shocked to realize the truth: the film's aesthetic wasn't just due to styling, but to the acting of the main leads and even every minor supporting character!
With good acting comes good atmosphere.
While the film's atmosphere wasn't so incredible as to be legendary, given time, it would definitely be considered a memorable classic.
The key point was that it came from a new director—it was her debut film.
"Oh my god, what kind of Immortal is this! I'm crying!!"
"So handsome, she's seriously so handsome! I love Shen Lang, don't anyone fight me for her!"
