Heavenly sword and dragon sabre remake7/29/2023 ![]() In this version Deng Chao’s Zhang Wu Ji becomes extremely free and open with his affections. The 2009 Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre remake is extremely successful in intensifying all my hate for Zhang Wu Ji. ![]() Too bad that instead of finding Zhang Wu Ji’s redeeming quality I keep seeing new scenes which drive me even madder. 为什么? Why? I guess the answer is because I’m desperately looking for a version where I could at least hate Zhang Wu Ji less. With the way the male lead’s character irritates the hell out of me I shouldn’t bother. If the other girls die, leave, or turn evil, I’ll marry you!’Ī friend asks me why do I watch all the remakes of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre and whatever version that will come later when I already know its story by heart. But I already got myself a wife.’ Or ‘Er.…I need a little bit more time. So how about the five of us live together happily ever after.’ Or ‘What? Sorry honey. I know his character is written that way – so perhaps I should blame Jin Yong instead and agree with those who accuse him of being sexist – but I still long to hear him saying things like the simple ’I love you too ’or ‘Thank you for loving me but there are three other women who love me too. No matter what time you’re in – Zhang Wu Ji was centuries behind this permissive age – or what culture you’re from –he’s from old China that was very strict in its rule of conducts between men and women – it’s wrong for a man to treat women as nicely and familiarly as he treats the women around him, and not expecting them to fall head over heels in love with him. I would like Zhang Wu Ji much better if he could be honest and straight forward with those girls and himself to prevent the heartaches and him looking like either a player or a man without honor. With her temperament does he think she’ll let this out of this world beauty to stick to her husband and her ugly self?Įven Guo Jing the stupidest hero in Jin Yong’s trilogy from The Legend of Condor Heroes knows how to make the hard decision when it comes to the women in his life! Is he stupid or what? Does he think it’s fine to have this incredibly beautiful girl with him for the rest of her life and his for that matter without her ever marrying anybody else and just be his faithful servant? And if he marries won’t he consider how his wife would feel about this girl who is obviously in love with her husband? Let’s not forget that he’s already declaring himself as Yin Li/Zhu Er’s husband. When she says she wants to spend the rest of her life serving him and asks him to take her along with him wherever he goes, he is happily accepting that ‘forever’ request. Well, whatever it is, I’m sure you’ll have at least something to say.īut our hero Zhang Wu Ji doesn’t feel the slightest alarm or inclination to clarify things when he hears declaration of love and devotion from his servant Xiao Zhao. I mean if you know someone loves you –in his case it’s four women – and they declare their intentions to spend the rest of their lives with you, if you’re not freaking out or thanking God for his blessings what would you do? I’m not blaming him for the fact that they all love him, at least not 100%, what turns me off is that knowing they all love him he chooses to do nothing about it. The fights of five women over one wussy man. Otherwise I could just imagine the kind of fights that we’ll see. And it is only four because Yang Bu Hui whom he’s saved and taken care of along their journey to find her father decides early in the game that she wants to marry his sixth uncle instead of him. Unless he considers women less important than men hence not worthy of the same courtesies.Īs I already mentioned above, Zhang Wu Ji’s interpersonal skills with other men are excellent but I hate the way he behaves around and deals with the five, okay, not five but four women in his life. I mean if he could be considerate yet decisive in his dealing with other people – should be read as men – all those admirable traits should also be applied when he is dealing with women. ![]() His one and only weakness is women.ĭespite being a great hero and all as a man I don’t consider him as an admirable one. He has everything a hero should have: the looks, the lineage, the superior fighting skills, the big heart and the die-hard followers. The one and only thing that I don’t like about this great series is its male lead. No matter how many Wu Xia series I watch I think I would still love Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre the most. Amongst the Condor Trilogy by Jin Yong his last the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre is my favourite.
