Covens, Cabals, Conspiracy, Costumes and Compelling Characters.

If you want to watch a series that looks like it was shot with the cinematography and production values of a big budget movie, this is the one. A supernatural drama with 4 main leads (2 males and 2 females), Tientsin mystic starts with some dead bodies being fished out of a river, which becomes a huge conspiracy to kill / convert many many people even resulting in an international incident! So the plot starts slow and when it gets going there are revelations everywhere!

The acting by all 4 leads is stellar. Li Xian's portrayal of Guo De You is so convincing I became a fan instantly. Similarly the other 3 leads also embody their characters. What I loved the most is how they all interacted with each other naturally, and the women aren't stupid or hiding in the background. In fact, Gu Ying (Cici Wang) is the best fighter among them all, and kicks a lot of ass. Xiao Lan Lan (Charlene Chen) is as smart as both male leads even though Ding Mao (Zhang Ming En) has had the advantage of having studied overseas.

As previously mentioned, the production values are stellar. There are very interesting shots, and very well done underwater scenes. The way the camera pans drawing in the viewer is phenomenal. The costumes are gorgeous and unique to each character, even the supporting roles. Also, shout out to the action choreographer for the many many well shot action scenes of mass battles and underwater shenanigans.

This drama really ups the standard of what is possible even with a low budget and a short filming time. Thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to the sequel. Note: Tientsin Mystic Season 1 was the winner of Best Visual Effect & Best Direction at the 2018 New York Festival World Best TV & Films Competition
