Any minor differences really don’t detract. The storyline and scenes flow well and they didn’t cut out anything necessary. None of that weird creative stuff Yumama likes to experiment (and fail) with. And the hairstyles! Literally I was too impatient for the eps, so before they were online, I watched the frist ep of the ’83 version, I can say that the hairstyles so far are very on point and true to the feels. But otherwise, I really love that part of it so far too. The only thing they really do to make things “prettier” is use slo-mo, and obviously they use wires for the qing-gong. So far, the kung fu has been pretty awesome for me, cuz the moves are recognizable to me (which is important cuz Jin Yong gets very specific with his moves and styles of kung fu and their untouchably classic), and there’s minimal CGI. Everything just feels very true to the Jin Yong wuxia classics style. I mean, the background music, the sound effects of the fighting, it’s all so on point and REALLY helps set the mood and feel for the scenes. And I’m not just talking about the classic themesong. As we approached broadcast (and as I fell under Yang Xu Wen’s undeniable charm and charisma and skill - I had to check his name cuz I still only know him as Qing Long GeGe and Jing GeGe), I started anticipating more and more, and man does it not disappoint (so far)! The music is REALLY good and REALLY on point. I was worried about it at first cuz all the post 2009 adaptations of Jin Yong have been pretty much horrendous (even the 2009 Heavenly Sword Dragon Sabre is a little…eh pushing my limits of acceptable…I just happen to like Ady and Zhang Meng enough). Anyways, after establishing my many biases toward this, I still really recommend this! Bascially, all the adaptations prior to 2009-ish of Jin Yong, I’ve liked (at least, the ones I’ve watched and the others look good too from clips). At the same time, I’m definitely biased cuz I love (most of) Jin Yong and am especially fanatical about Legend of the Condor Heroes. Half a star = ½ĪHHHH! If anyone has seen my cbox spamming, you guys know I’m LOVING this so much. Our Seashell’s First Impression Rating Chart (added entertainment value b/c something can be bad but entertaining!)
