    Default Legend of Daiyu [黛玉传]

    The other version of Hong Lou Meng starring Ma Tianyu and Min Chunxiao.

    This is a good production with proper plot, beautiful art direction and refreshing scenes. It's hard to say whether this surpasses the 86 version because this was taken in a different direction. The plot focuses more on the development of relationship btw Baoyu and Daiyu in a more elaborate depiction where the 86 version lack.

    I could not understand why Baoyu would love Daiyu in the 86 version, but in this, it makes more sense.

    Music is nice and everything was decent. Daiyu's acting was average, but Ma Tianyu was quite charming and cute to watch.

    Dialogue could be better written as I felt some conversations were too simple or easy in a modern way.

    Yes! I just bought the DVD of Legend of Daiyu after becoming a fan of Ma Tianyu in Strange Hero. Definitely worth watching just for his great performance.

    I agree. I feel I like Ma Tianyu more than the Baoyu in 86 version, even though the 86's Baoyu was quite solid in his acting.

    Ma Tianyu has that charm and sweetness, plus he's subtly charmismatic. He's also the right age and size to be playing Baoyu.

    There are lots of under-rated series like Legend of Daiyu around. I actually prefer Legend of Daiyu to Hong Lou Meng.
