I found the cinematography to be amazing, also the set design. It's just gobsmacking.
I'm absolutely certain the Lan Clan has magic related to keeping the whites blindingly white and the headbands straight (see also that charming drunk scene with Lan Zhan trying to check his headband).
Lan Zhan's actor is just brilliant with the microexpressions in contrast with Wei Wuxian's macroexpressions. :)
There are set photos floating around somewhere of all of them dying in the heat during filming. The actors are all excessively tiny and skinny boyos -- I have no idea how they buff up Jiang Cheng as much as they do, for instance. The juniors especially are all so smol.
ACRES and ACRES of fabric and hair, EVERYWHERE. It's amazing.
