    Default better xu xian

    xu xian in the new version was better than xu xian in the old zhao ya zhi version. ATleast this time xu xian is acted by a boy this time!

    I just ordered this series online. How is this version compared to the 90's version? Is the storyline different or did they change it?

    haha you mean the male main character, xu xian? well, according to legend, he was the kind of very hesitant and uncertain person. in this version however, i think the actor that played him did a very good job. he wasnt TOO wimpy and i could actually see why bai su zhen would love him. he's cute

    i'm at the part where they get married. i still think the female lead is more "manly" than the male lead

    haha yeah. she's usually the man who makes the decisions and takes charge in important types. but oh well, they're still very cute together!

    oh, and Ganryu, btw, your icon/avatar thing is really scary!

    Just finished the series! Great series overall even though the last episode was a little bit rushed. it's a refreshing take on the white snake legend. i highly recommend it if you like a romance story mixed with chinese fantasy. The series looks very smooth. Special effects were awesome. The music was also great. Although the main character is a bit wimpy, i admired his loyalty. I just submitted a review for this series

    Just watched this series and mostly enjoyed it. The female characters were quite strong compared to the male characters. It also made me aware of how a character is acted can affect how you view an actress. I despised Chen Zi Han as Guo Fu in ROCH and loved her as Green Snake. What an expressive face she has [her character has to display every emotion anyone could experience, good and bad].

    Now I'm going to watch the sequel 'Tale of the Oriental Serpent' featuring Qiu Xinzhi, Fu Miao, Cecilia Liu and Zheng Min.

    I don't think Xu Xian was particularly 'weak' or 'wimpy' per sec. PAM's Xu Xian demonstrated strength and courage in the non-traditional sense. He was sensitive and courageous for the one he loved (he jumped off a cliff to prove the point!). He was loyal to his own ideals, despite what everyone thought. I believe it's tougher to be a consistently good human being rather than the odd moments of heroism. That makes Xu Xian a strong character in my eyes.

    Also, the ladies and monk has fantastical advantages. I would be heroic too if I had those sort of advantages.

    It's strength displayed by the weakest, consistently, quietly that seem truly impressionable.

    I was very intrigued by writers adding a Fa Hai infatuation into the plot. A morbid side, but fascinating nevertheless.
