Exactly what I thought too. I couldn't finish the series mainly because of the boring plots/story and lame'-*** cheesy jokes. Tried as I might (just because of Gao Yuan Yuan) but just couldn't continue watching it. Which is why I didn't immediately get QWLSM when it first came out late last year...wasn't sure if it was gonna be like another Miracle Healer... But thanks to some of your opinions (like those of Lady Zhuge's and Sunnysnow's), I bought it and started watching it today and you're right, QWLSM is fast paced and enjoyable! Hope it doesn't disappoint later though.

right there! luckily i only rented mh and didnt waste my $$ to buy it. i managed to finish like 15episodes in a day cause i had to return it...but with loads of fastforwading of course. i practically ff since episode 13onwards and i still know wads going on and the basic plot...which proofs that the plot's predicatable and the twists are weak. now there are certain pretty draggy and boring parts in qwlsm as like in most cctv series but if u ff like i did for mh, u wouldnt have a clue wads going on

I just skimmed the serial and watched only scenes with GYY

(My only major disappointment is that there weren't enough love going around)

agree w wad most ppl say that the romance btw gyy and lu ching was way too rushed, cause they look really compatible. the dumb director should have made gyy's character give up on zwz much earlier and add in more scenes btw her and lu ching. but its expected since they're only supporting casts while the main relation focuses much more of the lead casts, alyssa and zwz.

[Lady Zhuge]

It seems like all the Alyssa fans really like MH whereas GYY supporters don't. I watched one episode when it first came out, but still haven't had the chance nor felt the urge to finish watching it.

i think so because that series was mostly giving Alyssa time on screen with ZWZ. GYY had a sucky role

[Kai Lien]

Yeah, too bad MH wasn't a good role for 00. I'm a fan of both 00 and Alyssa and I really liked that show.

While watching the later scenes of the serial, I bit my nails and held my breath hoping that Liu Ching would be GYY's knight in shining armor, swope by and rescue her from her torments, but this yearning never happened. Very disappointed, indeed!

It seems we Asians lack depth in our dramatic (story-telling) aptitude (or maybe just style). I have, yet, to watch a decently done serial. The plots & twists in these series still reminds me of the old Wuxia movies (or worst, B rate porno flicks).

I hope that as the industrial develops, directors and movie companies take more time thinking through their presentations and make the characters more dynamic and have fuller plots. But I digress.

Getting back to MH, I would have liked to see Lu Ching to be the one taking out the "trash"

Awww, 00 ( GYY ) is playing a bad person in Word's finest..... now more pl will hate her.

Maybe not. We'll see how her role plays out. If anything, it'll demonstrate her versatility.

Besides, with that emotionless dead stare of hers, I think she'd do great as an evil character

I still want to see her as Xiao Long Nu before gets too "old"...though, I think she'd be fine in the next 5-7 years...heck Carman Lee & Idy Chan weren't exactly "young" when they reprised the role.

[Kai Lien]

From what I've seen of TXDY, I like her so far. Not as much as I like her in YTTLJ. Anyways, me too I wished they didn't have to have her pining of ZWZ for so long. OR at least give her more of a romance with Lu Ching! There should be a sequel of just them two! he he he

[crimson18]

MH is a comedy-like film. and ya, i don like gyy character in there. too weak. and i also dont like the part when she stabbed xiang and say, i finally wreak vengeance for the hatred of shan-er and i. i think it wud be better tat liu xuan stabbed his evil-turned brother, then gyy appear and ask liu xuan if hes alright. or she could have said "even death could not compensate for his crimes".in comparison to xuan and his sister, wat he did to gyy was but a little harm. even xuan was shocked when she stabbed his bro.
i prefer her zhou zhiruo, tho...the hairstyle suited her more than that of the princess, i think.

I wanted OO to be XLN, not li Yi Fei, but oh wells.

I don't get how so many ppl compare OO to Alyssa. THis is like the whole RUBY vs Vicki thing before.


Some people just keep hating OO for doing evil roles. THat is totally unfair. Some people dont' understand that ppl hate the ROLE of the character , not the actress. i just went to some sites and all was like, " I hate GYY so much. SHe killed so and so." blah blah

[sunnysnow]

well some, or actually many ppl are not matured enough to differentiate btw the role and the actress/actor. ive come across this situation countless of times, ppl hate the actress cause they acted in an evil role and ignoring whether the actress acted well in that role or not, they juz hate the actress. theres a big difference btw hating the character and hating the actresses who portrays that character.

i watched txdy abt a few weeks ago and i think gyy did a great job in there. in fact i liked her character as well as that of her sister the most.
gyy's character is a very unique and complex 1 and even if most ppl brand her evil in this series, i think she's juz a very pititful and unfortunate character. she's not exactly evil..she loves her husband and son and respects her father alot. she even kills herself to repent for the sins she UNWILLINGLY commited.

gyy's very versatile in her acting here. she starts off as a young japanese gurl, highly skilled in martial arts(her stunts are quite good) and is somewad cheeky to li yapeng but later very devoted to him when she falls for him and she turns into a serious and loving wife and mother after she's married. her domestic role is portrayed v well when u c how she worries for her family's safety endlessly. but later when her true identity is revealed by michelle, her emotions turn cold and icy...the switch in personality is done very well by gyy, shes juz brilliant with those cold, hard and emotionless stares. her confrontation and dying scene was also rather touching...in fact i was more saddened by her death thn michelle's.

but as expected as like in hsds and mh, ppl still hate her cause shes supposedly evil. the most ridiculous thing was tat i came across a review for this series written by a HUGE michelle fan who hated gyy juz cause her character kills michelle's character and that gyy frames wallace..blah blah and tat michelle could have lived happily w wallace had it not been for 00. i was like????..i dunno how dumb can some ppl get...theyre unhappy tat michelle dies and blame it on 00 instead of the scriptwriter and they hate 00's character and the actress herself juz cause she killed their idol in the series????

anyway gyy's acting is gd in txdy but the predictable and weak plot makes the series rather boring and draggy. she also appears quite little in the series since shes not the lead which is a pity since her acting and looks wins michelle's hands down.

carman was 25 and i think idy was also ard that age when they acted as xln. 00's abt 25 or 26 this yr which would b the perfect time for her to act as xln since she doesnt look too old nor too young. to b fair, i wont comment abt her acting skills but her looks and image really suits the role. i dun think shell ever get a chance to act as xln if the next remake is 5-6yrs later cause she'll b abt 30 or so then. by that time, she'll b too old as xln since the character's quite young at 18. also by thn, there'll be more younger talents to choose from.

I doubt there'll be anymore remakes of ROCH in the near future. Old Jin Yong is pretty possessive about all of his novels and so far the only person who's recently gotten licenses for his works is Zhang Jhi Zhong. So don't keep your hopes up about GYY being XLN...

[sunnysnow]

hey guys, heres the hilarious and very childish review i was talking abt...

THE FACTORS
- Dislike Factor
Gao Yuan Yuan
I hate her because she was the one killed Michelle! I hate her because she was the one framed Wallace! She is responsible to harm two of my favorite characters in the show, so I have no choice, but hating her! Well, at the beginning, she was evil! You might not realized it, because you will think that she is a very nice girl. However, her true identity was revealed (Michelle found it out, poor Michelle...), then you will realized that you got fooled. Well, the good thing is that, she actually felt in love with Ya Peng, but she did so many things that we will never forgive her!

Well, there's always hope.

I also hope that GYY age gracefully. If she does, she can still reprise the part.

When Carman or Idy took the role, neither looked "18", both look much older--more like they're in their 30s. Could just be my eyes or bad makeup artists.

i thought carman looked a little too matured for the role but she looked in her 20s, definitely not in her 30s. however, age aside, she fited perfectly into the role as xln...her acting, emotions...everything. i haven seen idy so i wont comment.
