    Saw it earlier. Looks good. While I don't mind adaptations taking liberty, some scene here scares me.

    Not sure about some of the casting either, but hopefully it'll work out.

    Edit: Thanks for uploading the trailer krabs. : )

    Thanks for the trailer, krabs. Still not very familiar with the characters.
    1. LHC looks too young.
    2. DFBB shows interest in Yue Lingshan?? By the way, does he has a proper name? DFBB looks more like a phrase.

    Also, full of admiration for JY. Is definitely talented to come up with the musical piece XiaoAo Jianghu.

    DFBB address himself as DongFang his surname.
    As the subtitles say ... he came to retrieve a BlackWood Order Tablet (representing sun/moon authority) ... but somehow came out top in "tribal competition for bride"
    The black robe needle shooter injures her with "get old poison"
    DFBB apologizes that he cannot have romantic feelings because it is a weakness for enemies to exploit while he haven't complete his masterplan.
    LanFengHuang says she is all his , from the moment he saved her (from the old poison)


    I'm surprised the black robe needle shooter isn't DFBB ! as seen in the first trailer.
    and later in the second trailer , DFBB gets injured in the 3v3 duel with shaolin abbot , not so invincible after all !

    It's not just you, it's like that on my end as well.

    I think the site forum code is broken, or rather not updated.

    Just copy the post, hit edit, paste into the blank, fix what you need and save changes. : )

    Finish ep1 and here is my opinion: this version looks too... weird

    Just some short comment:
    - LHC is so shy ?! Don't have any feeling that this character is the leading guy in HuaShan sect.
    - Yue Lingshan seems she's not interested in LHC but "loves at first sight" with LPZ.
    - Bad fighting scene. Character just came up, then... bump bump ... all rivals were dead
    - Background song sounds like ... music in online game ?!

    Finished watching the just released first 8 episodes. The poison lady has a much bigger role in this version. The acting is a bit stiff, it seems. Very little facial expressions...

    You can watch it here.

    I wouldn't recommend the series though. lol After 4 ep, I think it's a terrible adaptation. The story is almost unrecognizable. Everything just comes and go with no sense of flow. Characters are introduced very poorly one after another, you barely got time to know any of them. LHC is turned into a shy and quiet person. And boring I might add. In fact, all the characters seem pretty lifeless. Perhaps it's the acting. Everyone is so stiff. On top of all this, the music and fight choreography is bad. The music is like random music from some game that doesn't even go with the scenes half the time.

    Here I thought the 2013 version was poor. Can't anyone make a proper XAJH adaptation besides the 96 version? And that one was low budget too. Anyway, I probably won't be continuing with this.

    Finally, the opening, while paying homage, is very lazy and cheap.

    As for the ending theme, just no. lol

    I wonder why they killed off the Hunchback so early at the end of EP08..?? The timeline of events has changed significantly & the story arcs are intertwined differently as well... I think I'll see if the remake is interesting.

    I hope most will give it a chance as the actors/actresses are mostly less experienced and most likely cheaper to hire. Perhaps recent acting school graduates.

    This is my major gripe with the series so far. Not only are the events out of order, the tone is wrong as well. It's like the producers decided to take all the fun out of the story.

    Thanks, wuxiarocks for the link. Watched one episode. Besides the different storyline and "different LHC", I find
    1. Ep 1 ending interesting.
    2. YLS's skills could have been much better in fending off the attackers.

    They added the word NEW 新 infront of the title , which means the scriptwriter have the freedom to deviate the story. Same for 2016 Xin Xiao Shiyi Lang.

    I watched the first 2 episodes . I can see the theme of the opening song is ADVENTURE.
    It's alright , the production team put in some effort instead of easy filming "happy bright sunshine day greenscreen studio"
    1) rain
    2) night scenes
    3) real candle on closeup
    4) realistic fire effects , I can't find any fault
    5) decent fight scenes although LHC need to be more stiff on the wrist not droop the sword downwards


    YuCangHai is a japanese actor , thus his mouth doesn't match and minimum talk.

    I think we can observe how confident the actors are with the horses , try to spot any "helpers" holding the horse by harness when the actors mount/dismount.
    If they get this right , it's a plus point.

    Pardon me for my lack of command of Manadarin. Can I ask some general and character questions?
    1. Why is there a sudden interest in Bixie Swordplay?
    2. I read that Bixie Swordplay comes from Mount Hua. So, how did it end up with Fuwei Escort Agency?
    3. Why is the Five Alliance Sect (or is it only Mt Hua) visiting Fuwei?
    4. Who is the character from Sun Moon Cult at the beginning of the episode?
    5. Who is the guy visiting Fuwei (the cup of tea duel)?

    Thanks much.

    1) DFBB humiliated them in numerous fights , they all know SunFlower manual is the best. The other comparable skill is the Bixie Swordplay thus alliance leader ZuoLengChan want to learn it to be on par with DFBB. They all don't know about the cutting nutsack.

    3) ZuoLengChan sent his red team underlings to take it by force since persuasion failed numerous time. Mt Hua sect went there as LinZhenNan requested for help, he is friend of YueBuQun.

    4) the weak injured guy ? just a minor leader of WhiteTiger subgroup of sun/moon

    5) ZuoLengChan's underling
