In the 90's TVB produced what most fans believed to be the best adaptations of some of Jin Yong's most popular wuxia novels. LoCH '94, although not as memorable as it's 1980's counterpart or as great as the 2003 Mainland adaptation, it did follow the novel closely and was a pretty good series. RoCH '95, DGSD '96 and SoD '96 were perceived as the very best adaptations of their respective novels and a classic by many wuxia fans. Which lead me to this question: How did TVB f'ed up HSDS '00, Crimson Sabre, and Flying Fox '99? At the time when I first watched Crimson Sabre and Flying Fox, I did not read the novel, but I could definitely tell that it did not follow its source materials because some of the twists and turns in the plot made absolutely no sense at all.
