Being a remake is never easy- being the 6th version to hit the small scene is even tougher (1979, 1984, 1986, 1994, 2000 being the previous versions- not to mention the numerous movie versions, including the 1978, 1983 and 1993 ones). Not only do you have high standards to live up to, you also have to distinguish yourself from all the other versions to avoid the knee-jerk “Not another Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre!” response.... read more

Overview: I'm sure you guys know the story so I'm skipping the sypnosis part. This is my first time watching this show, and although I've never watched the previous versions, I think this '03 series has a great cast and I've been addicted to it since watching episode 1. Zhang Wu Ji: Initially I had reservations about Alec Su playing the hero due to his small frame, but I was later convinced by his... read more

However, if I'm not wrong, the ending does differ from the original story so I suppose by right, Zhang Wuji was not meant to end up with Zhao Min. Characters: Zhang Cuishan/Zhang... read more

Being a huge fan of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber" (HSDS), I waited for this series excitedly. I watched the Hong Kong 1986 version of the series (starring Tony Leung), which made me have high expectations for this version as well. Basically, there wasn't any big miscast in this version. The first misfit is Alec Su as Zhang Cuishan. With his baby face, it was not very convincing to see him with the other... read more

Heavenly Sword Dragon Sabre (HSDS) is the third of China’s latest Jin Yong adaptations, following hot on the heels of the excellent Legend of the Condor Heroes (LOCH), and as such expectations are naturally high. Given the favourable reviews on the Smiling Proud Wanderer 2002, HSDS always had a very tough act to follow, and it managed to deliver in spades. I believe most people here already know the story of HSDS, and as such... read more

This version of Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre Sword (HSDS) is the newest version of the popular novel Jin Yong wrote. It still revolves around the love triangles between Ming Sect leader Zhang Wuji, Mongolian Princess Zhao Min, ErMei's Zhou Zhiruo, Wuji's cute servant Xiaozhao, and Wuji's cousin Chu Er. I have only watched TVB's HSDS 2000 by Lawrence Ng, Gigi Lai, and Charmaine Sheh, and this version, so my comparisons will only be... read more

This is one of CCTV’s Jin Yong productions. I have only seen State of Divinity and I thought that was an excellent first attempt to produce Jin Yong’s novels into a TV series. This series is also very good. There are a few minor dislikes but overall, I think this series is worth watching. Plot Any version of Jin Yong’s 14 books is excellent. Although I don’t remember the oldest version of Heaven Sword... read more
