I got into the Battle Through the Heavens TV Drama recently.

i think people here tend to like classic Wuxia ala Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng (with JY is the most popular one).

currently, i am not reading any novel, but planning to read xiao shi yi lang by Gu Long in the future.
for comic/manga/manhua, i am reading battle through the heavens .
for drama/tv series, i just finished Novoland Eagle Flag, probably next is the legend of Chu Liuxiang 2013.

I've been reading the Shen Shengyi series by Huang Ying and the Snowblade Vagabond series by Long Chengfeng, two HK authors who primarily wrote for Wuxia World Magazine in 1970s-1980s. Just finished Huang Ying's Thirteen Assassins, the second book in the series, and The Golden Boat Bloodbath, the fifth in the Snowblade Vagabond series.

Though both authors were clearly influenced by Gu Long, so far I think Huang Ying has the tone and substance of Gu Long more than Long Chengfeng, who excels at the form, such as the short paragraphs (Huang Ying does this too), the eccentric characters, etc. His tone is more lighthearted than Huang Ying, but his novels also tend to lack substance. It's just some things that happen, fun entertainment that you'll forget about soon after you read it. Still going to continue reading both of them.
