This is not a bad movie, but, the manga office part of the movie should have been left out. The Legend part was just fine on its own, that modern office romantic nonsense was just pointless. The special effects were good, but the story was pretty generic for a Chinese movie. The Legend scenes did remind me of the panels in a manga/comic book. If they had made that as the movie without the office nonsense I would have given it at least another star.
Plot summary
Working as an ordinary artist on Bai Ze's comic project The Legend of Demon Sea has aspiring artist Feng Xue feeling like wasted talent. To vent his frustration, he begins another version the project, filling the illustrated adventures of an alchemy master with mythic parallels to his daily grind. With his comics Feng takes vengeance whenever he's slighted or passed over in the studio, drawing his colleagues and boss into unflattering scenes. But when Bai Ze discovers an illustrated version of himself suffering under Feng's brush, he's far from angry. He praises Feng Xue for his originality, and takes the new draft to his boss. This is when Bai Ze also learns what it means to be frustrated at work, challenging him to choose between what he believes in and what his job demands.
