Da ren wu

Finally, finished watching this wuxia drama. My first ever review on its kind. Spend about a week watching this online at My Soju . Attached link for English Review that I thought would be similar with what I'm going to write in Malay. Although I wouldn't agree on some of it especially comments on Nicholas Tse as Yang Fan. I feel that Nicholas suited Yang Fan character really well, the major problem is the whole story itself. Some parts of the scene, for me is just ridiculous. Some are unnecessary while others important scene to smooth the transition between scene missing. I kept thinking ''what the hell is happening?'' and the story seems lost.

This drama adapted from wuxia novel written by Gu Long. Although the character is similar, the drama writer had twisted the actual story, somewhat for me is rather interesting than the novel itself ( I couldn't finish reading it, it got really boring at the beginning, maybe it'll get interesting towards the end but the boredom killing me to continue). What lacking is, if they are going to change the chronology of the story, they had done it badly mostly on the later episode of the drama. The main characters ( Yang Fan and Tian Sisi) were missing in some of the episodes and other example:-

1) they meant to keep Yang Fan identity a secret, why must tell it to ChuChu and Chuchu to Tian SiSi and even the Shaolin's Monks Wuxin.

2) am I mistaken?, when the masked man invade the Shaolin temple doesn't he reveal his true self in front monks Wuxin?.. later, they met at the alliance meeting, looks like they completely a different person... wierd???

It's hard to watch if I'm thinking so much about it. It's interesting to watch Yang Fan and I personally like Commander Chu LiuXiang character. A gentle and free spirit person.

Erm...I thought the customes is really nice and again not agree with the English review,being grew up with reading wuxia comic/manga translated in Malay written by Tony Wong and Ma Wing Sing, what Yang Fan wearing is not copying from Matrix, it's just the opposite, the qipao/changsan that's normal in wuxia world. By the way, It's outstanding on the body of Nicholas Tse...hihihi...

SINOPSIS

Bila Tian SiSi diarahkan untuk berkahwin dengan Yang Fan, dia membuat segala yang boleh untuk melepaskan dirinya. Tambahan pula dia menganggap dirinya cintakan Qin Ge, seorang hero celebriti yang digembar-gemburkan oleh Meteor Clan untuk mendapat pulangan untuk tabungan menjadikan Clan itu nombor satu dalam dunia kungfu.

Sebagai ahli keluarga general Yang, Yang Fan ditugaskan untuk menjadi pengintip ayahnya bagi pihak istana. Rahsia yang diketahuinya menyebabkan nyawanya diburu pemberontak, dan dia cedera teruk 2 hari sebelum perkahwinannya dengan Tian SiSi. Diselamatkan oleh seorang yang gila tapi mempunyai skill kungfu yang tinggi, wajah mereka kemudian ditukarkan untuk meneruskan risikan. Lelaki gila itu ( Tie Jun) dihilangkan memorinya dan wajahnya ditukarkan dengan Yang Fan yang tiada harapan lagi untuk hidup.

Apabila Tian Sisi berkahwin dengan Yang Fan, dia juga secara tak sengaja terjerumus dalam konflik yang menyelubungi suaminya. Walaupun mulanya dia yakin cintakan Qin Ge akhirnya sedar dia semakin sayangkan Yang Fan.

Drama ini bukan hanya Tian Sisi dan Yang Fan, karakter lain juga seimbang dengan watak mereka. Paling menarik adalah semasa di Snowy Mountain apabila Chu Chu bertemu Lui Qing dan pertembungan di gunung itu untuk mendapatkan Snowy Lotus yang dikatakan dapat meningkatkan kuasa kungfu.

Permulaan drama ini menarik, rasa tak boleh berhenti menonton. Apabila memasuki separuh epidose, watak utama ( Tian SiSi dan Yang Fan) hilang, beberapa episod langsung tiada hanya dipenghujung cerita, ah! pada saya, rugi sangat, pelakon hebat, cerita hebat pelaksanaannya gagal..
