Oh all the old versions of HSDS, such nostalgia. I tried to find the Liu De Kai version to compare to the rest but couldn't find it. Here's a link for some videos I found a while back when I was trying to compare the dif versions of HSDS.

It's a comparison of the same scene from each version shown one right after another. It's interesting to see the same lines said, yet giving such a different effect in each one. After watching these videos I still definitely like 86' better- Tony Leung just gave off such innocence that none of the others conveyed. Adam Cheng as ZWJ just seemed confused... I loved the wedding scene where the ZM tells him to come with her and he's like now... and she's like yes now. It made me laugh so hard.
I liked the 86, 00, and 03 versions of HSDS for dif reasons. Tony Leung and Kitty Lai portrayed a sweet young love. Gigi Lai was cool and Lawrence worked well with her, even though he was a bit too old to play ZWJ I don't think he did so bad. Alec Su and Alyssa Chia had probably the most sweet/romantic scenes I thought- I do like that scene where he hugs her from behind.
This person does a song comparison too, it's a really long video though, but I was surprised by how many songs the 86' had considering it didn't even have a different ending theme.
Now I just need to wait for the Deng Chao and Ady An version to come out so that I can watch it and compare to these. HSDS is like a hobby for me.
