Duke of Mount Deer

[pannonian]

I've been watching the 80s version of Lu Ding Ji (subtitled), and it's cracking me up how all the Confucian and other ideals get heartily overturned in this. The hero and his friends indulging in massive corruption, general acceptance of immorality, and the bit that got me laughing the most, Prince Kang saving himself by taking his own father's name for granted.

"How am I going to explain the sudden appearamce of the sutra?"
"I've got it! Get your father to help."
"You must be joking. He's been dead for decades."
"Exactly. If he wasn't dead you'd be dead."

Cut to court scene, where Prince Kang explains to Kangxi that he'd opened his father's tomb to find the sutra.

hehe, I just finished the series--it's pretty awesome. But I was wondering: How faithful is it to the novel? Feel free to post spoilers (but please use the spoiler alert function)

Too much threads on LOCH, ROCH, DGSD, SPW, and HSDS and very little on the novels about the Qing dynasty of the 17-19 centuries so is these novels like DOMD and Book and the sword not good enough or the fighters is too weak compare to the others.
