On January 7, "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" officially aired on the iQIyi platform. Contrary to expectations, Bach Loc's film was far inferior to "Quoc Sac Phuong Hoa" and "Dai Phung Da Canh Nhan" because of its unattractive script, unreasonable character setup, and distorted views.
In the first episodes, the film made a good impression on the audience thanks to the beautiful effects and the sparkling appearance of the cast. It can be seen that Bach Loc's acting has improved significantly compared to previous films such as "Di ai vi doanh" and "Ninh an nhu mong". The 9x beauty is also considered the brightest spot "carrying" the entire film.
However, the later the film's script reveals more and more obvious weaknesses. "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" follows the path of the immortal genre when revolving around the journey of female lead Bach Thuoc (Bach Loc). During this journey, she meets Phan Viet (Ngao Thuy Bang) - a Demon God with great magical power. From here, both fall into a complicated cycle of love and hate.
The plot of the film was commented to be boring, predictable, fast-paced but not attractive. Even many scenes in "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" were suspected of plagiarism from "Thuong Lan Quyet" and "Huong Mat Tua Khoi Suong".
The psychological development of the female protagonist of Bach Loc also caused fierce controversy. Because of her passion for cultivating immortality, she forgot her mother's death anniversary and was even willing to cut off relations with her father.
In the original, Bach Thuoc is described as a stubborn girl who often causes trouble but always cares about her family. The inconsistent plot about the character makes "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" lose the audience's favor.
Currently, the film has surpassed 40 million views, accounting for 13.4% of the online film market share, behind "The Great Phoenix" and "The Legend of Fuyao". Although the number of viewers has not increased, it has not decreased compared to previous days. The popularity of the iQIyi platform maintains 9,000 points.
Audiences hope that in the near future, "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh" will have more interesting and remarkable details.
Bach Loc himself previously revealed that the film would have many changes in the final episode: "Our film is not relaxing at all, there are many sad scenes. In the later episodes, there are a lot of sad scenes, crying from the end of episode 31 to the first half of episode 33. The first part of the film is also not relaxing because we have to overcome challenges continuously...".
The actress said she once had to record 6 crying scenes in one day, signaling that the upcoming "White Moon Fan Xing" could bring many tears to the audience.
