Just out of curiosity, which of the three is your favourite by story, characters or even recent productions..........
Can't really say until ZWZ makes another remake of HSDS. Hopefully, he'll have beautiful ladies. Hard to beat HSDS '03 though. GYY and AC were good looking ladies.
Yep, I can't vote 'til I've seen the new ROCH.
Based on the 3 books i've read..
i choose ROCH
story: ROCH
characters: ROCH- Yang Guo, Gong Sun Lu'er, Guo Xiang
productions: LOCH by far, and like crazylife and Lady Zhuge, I'll reconsider once the adaptation's finally out.
LOCH fan here.. sorry.. never really liked ROCH. I am not really romantic at all. :D
for me, it's hsds (the 03 version with gyy and ac, they were just awesome!) follow closely by loch (with li ya peng and zhou xun). i'm not really a big fan of roch.
LOCH for me..
after reading LOCH, i went to read ROCH but i feel smthin is lacking as compared to loch.. in fact, i was quite bored when i was reading ROCH... LOCH, to me, is more exciting and every pg is like an adventure
i like all of them :)
Zhang Wu Ji... I HATE what he said in the 2003 version!!! Gr... Why won't he just make up his mind!?!?! Save all those girls the pain and suffering! Especially Zhou ZhiRuo... Oh well.... I can't change it I can only detest it.Quote:

Character-wise I used to like Zhang Wu Ji based on Tony Leung's portrayal now I have a soft spot for Yang Guo based on what I seen of HXM's portrayal and outlook of yang Guo thus far
LOCH is the best story ever among all 3 of them. LOCH is mainly about Country and less focus on love. Whereas ROCH, it focus more on love and HSDS is similar to ROCH but focus on love less a little bit than ROCH. Voted for LOCH.
What did ZWJ say in the 03 version? I only saw bits of the beginning and don't think I want to finish it. So, don't mind the spoilers.Quote:

LOCH was an adventure.
ROCH was a love story.
HSDS was a battle of Good and Evil.
i used to own all three novels, first edition. but while i was a way at college someone stole them from my room. now i don't know where they are. except for ROCH, i took it to college with me so i still have it. same though. cos each set cost over a hundred dollars.
in remakes favorite LOCH right now is the 94 one with julian cheung since the 83 one was very long and the dubbing in viet was bad.
ROCH would be 95 one, even if i thought the actors did poorly and it was so low budget. didn't enjoy the singapore or taiwan one, and didn't like the 80's one for the same reason as LOCH 83. have yet to see 2006 so this could change.
HSDS would be the 2000 one, i really liked Damian and Michelle and Joyce Tang in that version. didn't like the 80's one for the same reason as before. didn't like both of taiwans makes, Alec's and Steven's one.
I think i liked Guo jing and Huang Rong's relationship best! They're not as unrealistic as HSDS... Guo jing wasn't perfect, Wu Ji WAS. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of Guys liking multiple girls or girls liking multiple guys (i'm a guy btw). in LOCH you SEE CLEARLY that Guo Jing can't live without Huang Rong, and Huang Rong can't live without Guo Jing. HR's the brains, GJ is the power as well as the morality element. Wow... i feel like such a girly guy...
i like in order:
ROCH(the best love couple:D)
HSDS(the main guy can pick any of the 4 girls:D)
LOCH(i have never watch one of this series b4.....odd isn't it?)

and to Dao Bao- I don't find anything wrong with ZWJ. U know , i think reading the Jin Yong novels or watching the series, u have to accept the fact that they are in a differnt time period. Back then, men are more chauvenisitcs.. and loving more than 1 girl at a time wasn't wrong. Like the saying, " Men can have 3 wives 4 concubines) Personally, i would like ZWJ to have all 4.. but i think ZM and ZZR would just kill off each other. :D
i haven't read the novel. the last scene were zzr captured zm...did she really wanted to kill zzr or test zwj's feelings?Quote:

LOL...yeah the would kill each other...but then again, ZWJ is there, if the kill the other he won't be with them. so they won't.Quote:

ZZR was cold, HL (poison girl) was crazy, and she is his first cousin, are they even allowed to marry? while the servant girl TS got on my nerves, so understanding and...passive. Louis Cha liked her the most though, he said if he was ZWJ he would have choosen her.
because she was like a slave/servant girl...she'll do whatever he ask her to do.Quote:

every time our family have a wedding...there would at least 500 people...i always look around just to make sure that i wont date any of my 2nd cousin and so on...even if it's legal...it just feels weird.

and i have to say i didn't like ZM all that much. I don't know why but i idolized ZZR when i was young. Maybe becasue she coudl kick arse, not the typical damsel in distress, does things to get what she wants, manipulative, and all the above :D
test ZWJ's feelings. tho a woman's heart can be fickle.. she could have something in her heart that made her want to kill ZMQuote:

yep, i did not like zm in hsds. somehow i blamed her for most of the deaths. and i love zzr's character. i pitied her when she's troubled yet understand that she didn't really have a choice. one of my fav in hsds.Quote:

Actually, come to think of it, i disliked almost all the characters in HSDS when i read the book, however after watching the 2003 adaptation, I started to like all the female leads (who were all extremely beautiful...) In fact, i liked ZZR best in the adaptation, despite hating her character in the book....... which just tells you how much adaptations influence our liking of characters and stories, probably why its a good reason to wait till ROCH 06 comes out before deciding which is the best

omg, i kan't even remember what LOCH and ROCH is about :( n there's probably like 10 different adaptations of it already..how sad haha. but uh..zhao wen zhou is going to be in an upcoming HSDS..!!??!?!!

Oh. I think he meant ZJZ for Zhang Ji Zhong, not ZWZ for Zhao Wen Zhuo.Quote:

The three series are my fave stories above all. In the order of pref:
HSDS
LOCH
and
ROCH
i love all of them, but i loved hsds after watching the 2003 version, looking forward for the next version in a couples of year, maybe tis time, zzr will get zwj....hahaha.
No second thoughts... HSDS the best i like. The movie version i mean starring Jet Li and Cheung Man. :)
n Gigi Lai Chi:DQuote:

If you think about it though, ROCH hasn't come out yet......... imagine how biased the poll could become after its release.........Quote:

As for story, I still like LOCH.
