As an ancient detective film, "Duong Cung Ky An" is considered to have broken the prejudice about the audience pickiness of this film genre. The cases in the film are built according to an independent partial structure, each case has its own content and climax, and is closely linked in the overall storyline.
Besides the crime-solving element, the film focuses on exploiting the status and fate of women in the Tang Dynasty, thereby receiving many positive feedbacks on the approach to the topic as well as the quality of production. Many viewers also highly appreciate the dramatic pace of the film, the structure of many reversals and the meticulously invested costumes.
However, the film also recorded mixed opinions. Some people think that the film's pace in the early stages is still slow, and supporting roles are not really necessary. In addition, strong support from the fan community has also sparked some debate about the real value of the data.
In the near future, the historical drama "Mac Ly" starring Bach Loc, expected to be broadcast on Tencent Video, will continue to be closely watched by observers.
