I may have liked Chor Lau Heung's character in the past but upon rewatching Miu Kiu Wai's version again there were some things that I didn't like about CLH's character. Maybe MKW's adaptation has misinterpreted his character but geez...he seems like a womanizer....not to a bad point like Ou Yang Ke(Ou Yang Feng's nephew) but it seems CLH LIKES to lead the girls who like him on as though he loves them.
As we know, he already has like three girls who can play Go(chess), cook and play the zither for him BUT who does he really love? He can't possibly love all three girls equally at all times.
I'm sorry but I'm not familar with the novels of Gu Long but I guess it would be an obvious statement to say CLH is quite a playboy hero?
I also wonder was CLH's friend Yat Dim Hong accurately portrayed in MKW's version with the actor, Austin Wai (I think that's his name, I'm forgetting ) He doesn't seem as too coldhearted even though he doesn't like to explain himself, hates asking ppl for favor. He likes handling his own business by himself. But under all that layer of coldness in the exterior, I think he's a character to admire, right? Can someone tell me of his character in the novel?
Also can someone tell me about Hu Xue Hua's character too? I thought the actor who portrayed him in MKW's version was pretty funny at times.
I think Ken Cheng or somebody months ago said that Gu Long gave his male characters very feminine names right? I agree, their names are very feminine(sp?).
Why does everyone call CLH, Heung Shui? I mean even the men called him that nickname. It seem a bit weird to me.
But anyway, it just seems CLH is such a clever playboy with so many women around him...much like JY's WXB character, however, CLH is the classy and suave guy while WXB is the mischivious pervert who is skilled at scheming and lying.
