This is a good quality wuxia with awesome fighting scenes!
There are good and bad points but I would recommend for traditional wuxia buffsWhat I like:
- Fighting scenes choreography
-Overall production value including soundtrack, cinematography, real scene location, minimal use of CGI etc
-great acting by most of the cast, I especially like XF and LYS
-likeable main roles especially CLS and MRF. Honorable mention to LXM, HF, YZY
-story never went off track and romance are restrained
What I dislike:
-TGN and NL love making sessions, and they are very whitewashed in this drama compared to novel
-ending is rushed esp in ep 39
-some important role was forced to die under unimaginable circumstances, and the body or death scene was not shown at all???
-why spend so much time for the bad poison junkies in ep 40?
Overall it's a decent quality wuxia despite the not fairytale hea ending. I would recommend for wuxia buffs who love beautifully choreographed fight scenes ??

Not A Classic Remake, Just Another Chinese Action Flick
Average movie, almost nothing in common with original novelFirst of all, if you have read the original Jin Yong novel and are expecting this movie to follow at least 60% of the plot, then don't, A LOT of things and premise have been modified although they retain the character names.
I came in for the producer Lu Yang, as a standalone movie, I think this can be watched as an average Chinese action flick, almost everything is average and to fill in your wuxia craving, and the only well known actor to me is Ray Lui of HK 80's wuxia camp.
Personally not recommended, the quality is farrr below Brotherhood of Blades by Lu Yang years ago, and it has almost nothing to do with the Jin Yong novel except borrowing the characters and background, but it's up to your own tastes.
