these are the list of dramas from year 2000s that i have watched
other than Handsome Siblings, i also like :
- The Lost Swordship 2017 , based on Lingering Fragrance in a Rain of Swords, the last 3 episodes are bad, but overall is good , maybe not as good as Handsome siblings, i warn you the ending is sad ending, avoid if you dont like sad ending.
- Xin Xiao Shi Yi Lang 2016, based on xiao shi yi lang or treasure raider, the ending is also very sad , not a happy ending
what i watched but i think the quality is only average:
- the legend of flying dagger 2016 , based on xiao li fei dao the fifth book (the story about Li Huai, the grandson of Li Xunhuan)
- the spirit sword 2007, nicholas tse version, based on Cleansing Flowers, Refining the Sword , the white robe samurai is become the main protagonist here, unlike the novel
- meteor, butterfly, sword 2010 , actually the story is very good, many intrigues , betrayal, etc , i just dont like too many scenes of depression and misery
what i watched but i dont like:
- Border town prodigal 2016 , based on xiao li fei dao the second novel, too many "catwalk show" scene that killing a screen time
- Magic Blade 2012 , based on xiao li fei dao the 2nd and 4th novel
- Detective and Doctors 2015, based on Lu xiao Feng the 1st book
- the legend of chu liuxiang 2012/2013, based on chu liuxiang 4th-7th novel, very faithful to novel
- the legend of chu liuxiang 2007 , based on chu liuxiang the 1st-3rd novel
- sword master 2016, this one is movie that based on the sword of the third young master
