i haven't read all the books in the series, maybe two of them. i'm really glad WRA's works is getting adapted--he has an interesting perspective on the whole wuxia genre. like GL, he went through a transition phase from traditional wuxia (as represented by the LYS style) to one that is distinctly his own, wherein he showcases more of the darker side, the pitfalls of the wuxia world.

official release date : may 23, 2022 on Tencent WeTV and CCTV-8 total episodes: 40
@siuyu: usually sad ending (like Liang yusheng) or good ending (like Jin Yong) ?

atumiwa more sad and bittersweet than happy, esp his later works. his four constables series are more upbeat, as far as i know (i haven't read them).

Joseph Zeng looks more interesting here than in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
BTW, not all LYS works end in tragedy. His is more of a blend of happy and tragic relationships. The writer who writes about mostly sad relationships is Wang Dulu.

i just watched ep 1-2 , it's good so far.
but the intro/prologue has given a hint about the sad ending.
10 years advance... An oldman sang a song, wang xiaoshi came and stopped to hear
Wang Xiaoshi: in your lyrics, some are my friends some are my enemies, they are all gone. An oldman Singer/ Storyteller: then what does your box contain, a friend or an enemy? Wang Xiaoshi: the most important person to me, i have journeyed very far, in search of a serene place to bury this box
back to 10 years ago, the main story begin...
--- Someone on internet who reads the novel said that the ending of 英雄谁是英雄 is actually a cliff-hanger, not really finish.
i havent read the novel, so i dont have any comment.
