    What did TVB do? Was the ending changed on subsequent broadcasts, after the initial one?

    Yes, I was what I saw in the 1978 series when I was a kid - the series ended with zm jumping off the cliff. So I think everyone presumed that she died.
    But according to a few forumers here (e.g. Ken), TVB lengthened the ending to show that zm did not die. Indeed, it is true as there is a video to show zwj meeting zm at an "inn" at the end. Possibly the same inn where they first met for drinks.

    Anyone remember this scene? at 3.11 - why zwj is crying? Is it because he just visited the graves of his parents at Wudang?

    To think about it, this amended ending in 1978 seems strange/fairytale like. Why not have one whereby zwj meet zm at the usual inn.

    Maybe there was another ending somewhere. This wasn't an official TVB ending for the serial, it was done by the K-100 show, and while they obviously got Adam and Lisa to reprise their parts for the sketch, everything else was setup separately from the serial. Hence the fairy maiden who nobody saw before (when the official TVB studio could have gotten the Yellow-Dress maiden or someone familiar to do it), the laughable cartoon effects, and the outworldly plot.

    OT: Because this thread is supposedly 2019. :-)
    First, I wonder who actually watch the alternative ending. Ken can be one.
    I have posted this video earlier. This could be the alternative ending whereby zwj pulled zm up.

    Always wanted to ask this question:
    Kabby Hui is actually quite a slim person. The producer may have piled up the clothings to make her "chubby". Indeed, I remember XZ in the 2003 and 2009 series is quite chubby too, Is it stated in the novel that XZ is "chubby"?

    Thanks. In that case, 2009 XZ will be the closest.
    I think the prettiest XZ is either Jet Li's movie or 2019 XZ.

    Going through the departure of the various XZs, possibly 1986 and 2019 versions will have a chance for a further meeting between ZWJ and XZ. In the 1986 version, ZWJ noted that "till we meet again" while in the 2019 version, ZM told zwj that they can visit XZ in Persia.

    Which series depict ZZR as genuinely loving ZWJ and not as competing against ZM?

    I wonder anyone find this scene contradicting in 2019 series. After zwj saved jhpp, the latter noted that she and her daughter will be "slaves" to zwj. On the way back, jhpp was angry when xz noted that she is willing to remain as a servant to zwj. Isn't both the same?
