Prinxess, I finished watching the entire series and I like it very much. Since I haven't watch any other versions of "The Book and the Sword" made before, I can't compare the new one with them. But I do read the novel and I feel that QZY's CJL fits perfectly to the characters of CJL in the novel, in both charisma and appearance. There are some changes in terms of the plot. It expanded the stories of Qianlong and Yu Wanting---the former leader of the Red flower society. It also added the plots about the teenage life of Chen Jialuo. How and why did CJL learn Gongfu from his master Yuan Shixiao at Mountain Tian, how did he meet HQT and fall in love with her, how did he become the new leader of The Red Flower Society etc. These changes make the character Chen Jialuo more plentiful.
There are many magnificent plots in the series. I specially love the Episodes 18 and19 in which they shown the three confrontations between CJL and Qianlong at West Lake, Hangzhou. The performance of both QZY and Zheng shaojiu is wonderful and impressive.

Melanie, you are not the only one who has this feeling. Many people don't like the character Chenjialuo in the novel but they found Chen Jialuo is very likable in the new version after watching this series.
If you like QZY, I strongly recommend you to watch it. You wouldn't be disappointed. His acting is very impressive.

Oh, I can't stand for it.
When I quote a post, why is there always a font size thing in my post?
[quote=Prinxess19;885550]Dogwood if u can teach me how to register I would greatly appreciate since I cant read chinese.
No problems.

How can you go to QZY's blog without being able to read Chinese? I am just curious. Can you listen and understand Chinese?

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS u r the best!!!!!!!!!!!
I will give it a try and thanks for sharing the MV. I actually saw it on Tuduo. I go there reguarly to find clips on QZY since youtube is not much help.
I am so excited to know that QZY CJL is not a jerk. Like Melanie I like him so much I dont want to end up hating him hehe.
I went on the forum for Legend of the book and sword here at Spcnet and from what everyone that read the book said the CJL in the novel does sound like a jerk. The version I watched he wasnt that bad but yet he did choose PF over HQT.
Anyhow from the episodes I seen so far. Since I saw a similar version I got an idea what going on but just staring at QZY entertain me that I didnt need to know all the details. I also speak Cantonese so some of the Mandarin I can pick up. I cant understand completely but I get some of it. Hehe I think I been hearing too much Mandarin lately especially since I been trying to catch up with QZY wuxia dramas. I love him as CJL. First of all he is so dashing in Qing Costume. I love watching him and his sifu. They r so silly together. He is way too cute when he stare at HQT. I will totally fall in love with him if he stare at me like that hehe. I also enjoy watching him and his "brother" (7th brother wife). Hehe the way they tease each other like real brother and sister is so cute. Most of all, from the MV all his fighting is so cool.

Thanks dogwood for sharing those links about QZY & Yang Rui. Yang Rui is so cute I just wish she can pair up with QZY again in another series as a couple again. I think they r so cute together
So do you think QZY CJL is devoted to HQT only or does he really like Princess Fragrance. From what I seen it does look like he likes only HQT but sometimes the way he looks at PF I dont know. What do you think?

Thanks for sharing those pics and MV's of Qiao Zhen Yu and Yang Rui! I love that couple in Spirit of the Sword. Here's another MV of them I found on youtube.

Also, here's a MV of Qiao Zhen Yu and Li Qian in another series.

Here is another mv made from the drama " The princess of Wuyou".
haha, there is a big debate on this in the website. Two different types of love. i think he loves Qingtong but with lots of respect. he treat Princess Fragrance as his little sister as she is so pretty, adorable and innocent he wants to do anything to protect her and make her happy.
But with lots of respect? Care to elaborate
Anyhow but if it really up to the viewer to decide who he likes hehe being completely bias toward HQT haha I will go with that he loves only HQT. At least this one, CJL is not such a jerk and misunderstand HQT and treat her poorly. I always want to curse JY for creating PF and making HQT suffer so much but anyhow enough of my venting
I heard there is a huge debate on who he gave the jade to. QZY mention something on his blog and I ask my mom to read it out loud to me but I still dont understand what he said. Care to translate

It's quite here.
Recent news: the shooting phase of the TV series Chinese Style date finished a couple of days ago and QZY went back home for a break.
In the series Xiangxiang has the jade but Qiao said they never made a scene telling about how the jade is given to Xiangxiang. So it's a big bug.
but i don't think it's a big deal. After all, there are more important themes and scenes in the series which are worth appreciating besides the triangle love.
Some pictures from a live show "Super Star."
