    Default Tale of the Oriental Serpent 2009

    Just finished the 1st 7 episodes of the series starring Fu Miao, Qiu Xinzhi, Chi Shuai and Cecilia Liu. Quite enjoyable so far, but the English sub is enough to make you barf. When Greensnake, Qing, says she is going to avenge her 'sister', Whitesnake, the sub uses 'sis' when you hear Qing say Su Cheng. When the Dragon Princess says 'da ge', when referring to her dead fiance, the sub says 'darling'.
    I like Fu Miao as Greensnake, but not as much as Chen Zi Han in Madame Whitesnake. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes with my fingers crossed.

    Oh, I also watched this. In fact, it's quite confusing towards the end for me...that I still wonder about it sometimes. Fu Miao is not Chen Zi Han definitely...not that FM is bad, she just lacks this endearing quality about her CZH has. ::shrugs:: Liu Shi Shi was very sad, poignant, and beautiful in this series. She matched quite well with Qiu Xinzhi despite the age difference!
    I like me.

    I finished this series and was sort of disappointed with the ending. I suppose that with the reincarnation basis of the storyline, it sort of makes sense that the past life outcomes would not be changed. I do think Qingqing/Qing got a raw deal from the Gods, considering what Meng did to her and his murderous actions in the end.
    Bao Ren getting sent back to some undefined past [or present] sort of left the door open to another sequel.

    Seeing Fu Miao acting in some drama, I think she is very beautiful. I wish they would promote her more. She also starred in Return of the Condor hero, Moment in Peking and etc.
