I think the idea of incest works best in Wuxia series because back in the ancient time it is common to have more than one wives (like the king) so it isn't easy to know "all" your siblings. Some relationships might be private too.
but isn't cousin relationships also considered incest? it's quite common in wuxia...wonder why though

Only relationship between cousins with same surname is considered incest in ancient china.
Please understand that values and traditions and common practices change with times and differs according to culture.
So, please do not fault TVB (as some viewers tend to do) or wuxia writers when they write about this relationships because it existed in ancient world and is still a non-issue is some chinese communities even now.
Actually, I myself never thought it is an issue and never thought anyone would have problem with this kind of relationship before I read hoo haa from the viewers about the 'incestious' relationship in RDOV in the forum. I still don't think there's anything wrong with it. I bet most of the viewers who have problem with it are ABCs who grow up in the US.

But cousins, no matter same surname or not, have similar DNA to you, and have a higher risk of having children born with X-linked genetic abnormalities - you get a higher risk of developing illness than other people, like congenital cataracts, cancer, cerebral palsy, etc...Originally Posted by kidd
I didn't like the cousin-cousin relationships, and I was born in HK.

LOL Hehehe, this topic never ceases to stop Lol, I won't comment much about the relationships...don't want to get all confused again. Lol, as I was reading all the comments regarding this, I couldn't help but think that its limiting the "selection."
Lol, to a "happier" place now. Lets talk about Raymond and Mimi then, lol. They weren't related Hehe, very cute couple!

I wanted to watch Blade Heart, most because of raymond! I really want to see his performance in this series. I couldn't download the series due to a flinch or video stores didn't have them. Will anyone be willing help me out, upload the entire episode of Blade Heart series on you tube? I really want to see raymond's character.
Please reply! I'll be grateful.
Unfortunately I don't have this series, so I can't help you. Now that this thread popped up again, maybe I shall leave a comment about this series. Gosh the story really sucked! It's a waste of such a good cast! I really loved Raymond's performance here, and his chemistry with Shirley and Mimi later on. A good cast, a huge budget, beautiful fighting scenes, no CGI, why can't the producers just put more heart into the story and make this the perfect series? Mmm
Eat the sweet, eat the bitter as well

Agree. This series is very depressing, but I still like it. It's actually one of the better series that came out in 2004.
