Thanks for this one, bringing some of my old day memories (of youth, not the series XD) back. I only watched an episode of this due to my studies (Junior High School days SUCK!). But the show's 18 Dragon Subduing Palm special effect is one of the wierdest I've ever seen.

TLBB from CTV Taiwan, 1990 (Incomplete). This series deserves a mention because the cast is quite great. It has Austin Wai as Xiao Feng and Eddie Kwan as Duan Yu. The leading actresses IMHO were a wonderful sight. And then the whole plot seemed like a parallel universe with the original works (according to an article on the net, the screenwriter said he felt bad on copying the plot, so he made up stuff). According to the web this series was nicknamed 天龍掰部 (Tian Long Bai Bu, a rough translation could be "The made up Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and the "Viewers Mail" section on the newspapers those days constantly had people complaining about the plot. For starters, the "Fairy Sister" sculpture was actually Li Qiu Shui in some frozen dormant mode. Not weird enough? Later on there were some new organizations, and Duan Yu practiced some lucid dream technique in which he was able to meet with Wang Yuyian, and then in his dreams he was harmed by Jioumozhi, causing him to lose his memories, and got saved by the abbot of Shaolin. Therefore Duan Yu became a monk with his Dharma name, Xu Zhu. Oh and did I mention that Wang Yuyian was also the princess of XiXia? So was there still an illegitimate child of the abbot of Shaolin and Yeh Erniang in this series? Yes. Murong Fu. Ok, then what happened to Murong Bo's son? Well he became a monk in Shaolin, Yuan Geng, who was actually in the novel, the one who gave Xu Zhu a hard time when he returned and was receiving his punishment. This Yuan Geng, after learning the truth about his birth, went to Murong Fu's home to win his rightful place, and of course was killed. (Mu Wanching and her mother were also killed off pointlessly by Murong Fu in an episode I think, at that time I finally got my hands on the novel and my parents started restricting my TV time I stopped watching the series). www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxFPsrEhIJrGqY9X18SnlEJ3C1F_FCnqH

yenchin o.O O.o W...T...F... buhhhhhh... that's even more attrocious than the treasure island-esque ping zong that mainland produced! it almost seems as if the screenwriter wanted to GL'ize the story! it's a good thing you read the novel! i was already surprised at the changes (esp the ending) that TVB made compared to the original story, but nowhere near this level of OMFGness.

Yes. If you have this in your collection, don't take the plot too serious and enjoy the show Could you tell me what happens in the 20th episode and if it's really the last one, please ? I got it supposedly complete with 24 vcds, but when I received it, there were only 20 vcds and when I asked for the 4 missing dics, suddenly the seller said that it was the Vietnamese version that had 24 episodes but the Chinese one only 20. If it was true, when would he have described his item as complete with 24 vcds and in chinese language ??!!
I just took a look at the last episode and saw that Austin Wai kills himself and that the other hero (the actor's face is familiar to me, but I can't name it ) talks with his girlfriend in the forest and they leave and then it's the credits, so, I don't know if it's really the last episode of the series or not.
Thanks for any answer.

Xiao Feng commits suicide in the end of the novel, all of the adaptions would have this scene near the ending. Someone has uploaded the Vietnamese version on Youku with 24 episodes. The Vietnamese version has shorter episodes, resulting in more episodes to watch.

This is what happens when you research too hard on your article. More series! Cold Moon, Lone Star, Sword (冷月孤星劍, 1984, TTV) www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgJOmvdapXSYZSVIGWzWkEHcVejkviu3YLook at this quality. It's hard to believe someone made this in the 80s. In Taiwan. (Though to be frank, this is one of the so-called "Taiwanese made Hong Kong Drama")
