Director Dong Yi’s Insights
In a recent statement, Director Dong Yi reflected on the challenges faced during the production of the first season, particularly in creating authentic Chinese art styles and maintaining intricate details in character expressions. The director shared:
“Creating the art settings was quite demanding, especially since we needed to depict different locations as the main character, Tao Yao, travels. Each episode required new backgrounds, and capturing the nuances of lighting added to the complexity.”
He also mentioned how the narrative structure of the first season, which paired two episodes together, presented its own set of challenges. For the second season, fans can expect longer episodes with deeper storytelling, with some arcs extending over three or more episodes.
Highlights to Watch For
Director Dong Yi emphasized that viewers should particularly look forward to episodes 1 and 2, titled “Ousei,” and the final episode of the season. He aims to tackle complex themes like the struggles faced by women and the impact of dishonesty in relationships, presenting them through a unique narrative lens.
The final episode promises a compelling conclusion that allows viewers to reflect on the entire season while uncovering new insights and discoveries.
Conclusion
With the first season set to stream soon and the second season just around the corner, now is the perfect time for both new and returning fans to immerse themselves in the world of “Hundred Demons.” Mark your calendars for the release dates, and prepare for an enchanting continuation of this captivating series!
