Rhonda SG Wow... thanks for pointing us to that thread. It sounds like Da Chang Jing is very interesting! And now that I know it has to do with food, cooking and medicine, I'm even more curious!! The DVD set is selling for $99 now though... kinda pricey.
the Bear SG what seems like a few hundred episodes for $99? it's not expensive.. considering i paid $250 for Rurouni Kenshin
Rhonda SG I already know that you love to watch these series. I love love love watching wu xia series!! I have watched all the older remakes of the Condor Heroes. It's a really fantastic series! She4 Diao1 Ying1 Xiong2 Zuan4, then there was Dong1 Xie2 Xi1 Du2, then erm... Shen2 Diao1 Xia2 Lu3... eh... like one part missing. I remember one friend talking about the ''Condor Heroes" so fast, she mispronounced it as the "Condom Heroes"! So I asked, "That one is an XXX-rated one, ah?" I also love 'Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre' (Yi3 Tian1 Tu2 Long2 Ji4). I love the Hong Kong version with Tony Leung as the male lead. I watched the Adam Cheng version, the really old '70s version and it was more comical than anything! The kung fu fighting in there was soooo amateurish! Do you remember this Ping2 Zhong1 Xia2 Ying3 Lu4 series waaaay back in the '80's? Sooooooo nice!
the Bear SG the only series i can barely remember was xiao li fei dao.. and only because the dude wore one facial expression throughout the whole series... that of sullen dejection
the Bear SG yup.. that series is now with dennis... it's the whole 95 + 1 episodes of the anime... and it's WONDERFUL
Rhonda SG Yeah, he sure did! I still remember the theme songs of some of the Cantonese Wu Xia TV series I watched when I was in Primary One onwards. I still remember Roman Tam's Xiao2 Li3 Fei1 Dao1 song! I also remember the Dao1 Shen2 song. And etc etc etc. Even the non-wuxia Cantonese drama that starred the late Leslie Cheung, Fu2 Shen1 Liu4 Jie2. littlestream, you remember that one? I remember having this huge huge crush on the Xiao2 Yu2 Er2 character in Jue2 Dai4 Shuang1 Jiao1. I was soooo in love then, that my ah ma would always yell out, 'Oi! Oi!! Di eh Xiao Yu Er de dian xi kee liao! Kami lai kuah!!' I often daydream that I'm some wuxia character one. When I was younger, lah!! I even dreamt of new scripts and designed my lead actress' costumes and hairstyle!!
littlestream SG Hmmm....no leh. Who's in it? That yi tian one right? I know many prefer the older productions but I like the 2002 production starring Lawrence Ng, Gigi Lai and Chermain Sheh.
Rhonda SG Sigh... dreaming of earning a much higher disposable income again. At a very optimistic increment rate of 5% per annum, I'll probably draw the equivalent of my last corporate income by... let's see... 2009!!! Which means, it shall take me SEVEN years to reach my last-drawn corporate income through nursing!! And that's provided the annual increment is 5%, which is kinda unheard of. It's more like 2.5-4%. Oh man... it might take me more than 10 years!! Now, tell me why I shouldn't migrate!
Rhonda SG Hmm... I might have watched that one. It was pretty ok. The girls were very pretty, but, they adulterated the original story very very badly! Not sure if it's the same one I watched though... Too many versions of it available! heh!
the Bear SG well, you're almost there in other news.. I am the Lizard King.. I can do anything Jim Morrison, Mr Mojo Risin' rocks!
Rhonda SG Erm, excuse me... SEVEN to TEN YEARS is NOT 'almost there'! Oh darnit... Now, I'm feeling super-duper depressed, thinking about it! Sigh, I used to be able to afford a good life, and still have pretty good savings and all.
stellazio SG Izzit the one where they had some local actors like phyllis quek in it too?Yea the zhao min was super pretty..
Rhonda SG Yes!! That's the one!! Our Phyllis Quek was very pretty too! And yeah, Zhao Min was not only pretty, she was very convincing. But y'know, they totally screwed up the storyline. I hated that! These wuxia classics should not be amended in any way!! The authors did a great job of writing them, so I always hate it when they take the liberty of adulterating the plot! I was cursing under my breath each time I saw a 'wrong' scene. I watched the series with my ex-flatmates so they had to shush me!
Rhonda SG Erm... you can have one soon! With that big bad wolf of a boss transferred out, you shouldn't have any problems!
