She diao ying xiong zhuan

Among all the TV Series of The Legend of the Cordor Heroes, the 1983 and this one, 2017, are the closest to the oroginal novels by Louis Cha. Out of all the Jiang Hu sagas of Louis Cha, She Diao Ying Shiung is the most complicated to translate into the small screen, even more difficult to big screen, due to theany characters, locations and side stories ot has.

I gave big time advantage for the 2017 version due to the CGI effect that enabled the directors to shoot the battle of Hua San at the end of the stories which resulted in the shift of 5 top martial art masters with the addition of Cordor Hero Kuo Jing.

For westerners and first time audience, The Legend of the Condor Heroes is most likely described as too long and over dramatized. However, to Chinese people this story illustrates what a good young man and a good young girl are. At the same time, it illustrates the worldly temptation that will take them to a darker path.

Acting wise, it's interesting to see Michael Miu played Huang You Shi. Michael Mie also played Yang Kang in the 1983 version and he was, IMHO, the best actor to played the lost soul called Yang Kang.

Louis Cha cleverly implanted the continuation of the novels into the story without campaigning it. Qiao Feng of Lay Pang used 18 Dragon Palm, the same style Hung Qi Gong and Guo Jing. Yang Kang and Mu Niancinare the parents of Yang Kao, the main hero of The Romance of Consor Heroes. Guo Jing and Huang Rong made Dragon Sabre and Heaven Sword to hide Wu Mu book and Qiu Yin Cin Cing, which became the main weapons in Dragon Sabre & Heavenly Sword (Yi Thian To Lung Ci). And so on.

For Chinese people, Guo Jing is our Superman. His character and behavior is the example of patriotism and how to behave in society. Huang Rong is the example of how a girl should be, smart, independence, not afraid to serve and always respects the elders.

Very good series. Exciting and engaging. But seriously need great patience to tolerate the utter dumbness and clueless Guo Jing. Saving grace is his sense of honor and right

Yes, i watched almost all condor heroes trilogy remake and i can say that this one is the best of them all. there are two things that i really like about this movie.

first is there is minimal exaggerated fight effect or so called chi. of course there are still some this inner energy burst, condor heroes movies believe that martial artists have inner energy they can burst out to attack enemies or defend themselves. but it is on the right portion, not too much and not too little.

second, there is no kissing scene. yes, in my opinion this represent ancient chinese culture. this also add some kind of romantic feels that i immediately lost on kissing scene.

Cons: some storylines don't make sense, too much departure from original book, not as loyal translated as the 2003 remake. I also have to appreciate 2003 remake for overall acting and scenes... Though including classic 85 theme 'Tie Xue Dan xin', still too lazy to pass without any new theme songs. Pro: compared to 2003 remake, improved kongfu fighting scenes, as well as CG processed beauty setting, everything looks neat and shining! Of course, the most handsome Huang Yaoshi of Peach Blossom Island. Actually none of those remakes are perfect to match legend of the original novel. I personally prefer 2003 remake despite a little room for improvement.

Legend of the Condor Heroes is one series that can never get old. This version proves that with good actors, good fighting choreographery and good background score, a modern series can genuinely compete with their 80s versions. Main leads are top notch, supporting casts are all very good, especially Old Beggar (guy gave me young jackie chan vibe) and Huang Yaoshi (kudos to Michael Miu for his charm). Special effects are used but havent been overdone like 2003 & 2008 version. Initial Mongolia storyline is made brief but based on viewer feedback that portion is the most boring part of the story, so cutting that portion would not invite a lot of complaints. Overall, a worthy series for your time. I would rate it one notch above 2008 version and at par with 1983 version.
