This show is completely misguiding some Jin Yong fans on many levels.

There are some that say this show is exactly like the original novel which is false.

How can it be closely to the book if DFBB is a female in this show?

YLS and LHC grew up together is not worth the friendship of someone as evil as DFBB who took the sun flower manual from his former cult leader and exile him from the cult and than took over the cult.

The film producer of this 2012 series seem very unethical toward education, tradition, and moral values.
At least film producer Zhang Ji Zhong put all these values in his series.

While reading the book, you can imagine what most places are like but in this 2012 series, all they did was turn all these great places into CGI scenery and even with that, they failed to perfect the CGI.
At least Zhang Ji Zhong tried to show the authenticity of the scenery rather than CGI effect.

I think when Jin Yong wrote his novels, it was meant to be as a form of education for the tradition of the Mainland but so far in this 2012 series, it just been lacking of everything from his book.
