Phoenix Sky Five (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

In A.D. 690, Empress Wu Zhechen changed the name of the Tang dynasty to the main one and made Luoyang the capital. After receiving information that the Stone Palace is secretly restoring the 'Phoenix Heavenly Flower', an ancient Persian absolute weapon, Mujeokcheon immediately convenes the Black Army and issues a secret order to bring the weapon blueprint. Three years later, when lightning strikes from the sky, turning the Nanseong area of ​​Joju into ashes, Mu Zhuqian summons the Black Widow's President, Mu Yeon-woo, to investigate the incident thoroughly. Mu Yeon-woo discovers something strange while investigating the case and sends burnt remains to Tongcheongak to ask for an autopsy. When the fire and lightning incident is finally revealed to be the work of a person, not a natural disaster, Yeon-woo Mu goes to meet the largest merchant in Yeongju, 'Gokpilaksa', to catch the real culprit...

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
