Jingming has already expressed his excitement to Netflix when he knew he was going to be directing and writing the film.
“I’m excited that The Yin-Yang Master: Dream Of Eternity will soon be introduced to global audiences on Netflix. My biggest takeaway from adapting such an oriental aesthetics classic is how to work with the creative team to visualize such a mysterious, elegant, yet dangerous and challenging oriental world in all aspects. I hope Netflix members will enjoy the world of The Yin-Yang Master and find their own fun in this fantasy journey.“
For more than 30 years, the Onmyōji franchise has taken over Asia alongside its comic books, TV series, and performances. Recently, the franchise has adapted to making a mobile game and is currently standing as one of the biggest Asian ones in the world.
