I hope they at least use good cgi for dragon palms and big dipper moves etc.
Hope so. But i feel a good action choreographer is still very much needes.
Action choreographer Yuen wooping's brother Yuen CheungYan was cast as sweeper monk.
I hope Mr Yuen will be the drama's action choreographer.
The Yuen brothers choreographed the 90s first version of Water Margin. Those fight scenes are still classics, clean cut and beautiful till this day.
OT: This is quite interesting. Bring back a lot of good memories.
Any picture of Xixia Princess and her maid (wife to be of DY)?
An OT thought came to me this morning after watching HSDS. Initially, I do not understand why JY change the third edition storyline whereby DY married a maid of Xixia Princess. Would it be due to XZ in HSDS (supposedly a maid too)?
Just like Hua Zhen and ZM story which Ken first suggested.
Maybe that's why in the latest adaptation, DY only marry MWQ and HL but not the maid Xiao Lei. Not sure who he will marry in this adaptation.
Looking forward to a better fighter in MRF in this adaptation and less dependent on his cousin WYY for pointers. In previous series, he seems to lose to XF easily.
These are the TV adaptations to date.

Interestingly, find this HSDS song to be very suitable for the three brothers in this series too.
