I believe it was the recently concluded one telecast by Channel U on Sat & Sun.

That version... I think its more CGI based... Watch part of it on DVD stores after its launch in Singapore, but never thought of watching becos all these novels were being read before, only some parts of the stories were being changed. Different versions have different ending anyway.

you got read wu xia?

i think jing yong (the author) is the best wu xia author out there. liang yu sheng, for one is not bad, but is way too draggy for a tv series. also incomparable. gu long is another one, but i dislike all his stories, very nonsensical but that's just my opinion, of course.

Some of the best Gu Long's stories are written when he was very poor and he need to be financially supported by his first wife.

After he become rich and famous, he start drinking heavily and dump his first wife for another woman. Then his story standard start to drop to very low level.

I am still coming across innumerable versions of the Jin Yong novel adapted for TV and/or movies. The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. 倚天屠龙记.
The story was very well written (in 1955) and imaginative. But audiences cannot keep watching it in various incarnations with different sets of actors/actresses.

How is it that all the other Chinese Wu Xia authors have died?
Why are movie and TV studios remaking...and remaking... and remaking... the same old story for TV and movies.

Can we have some new stories.

Some originality, please.

Normal..

If the story makes monies, it will be remade just like 'Robin Hood'
