  2. Kinda creepy, huh? Looks closer to the original spirit of the novel.

    Zhang Jizhong's adaptations of Louis Cha/Jin Yong's novels for TV have all been pretty well received from what I've read.

  3. I'd never heard of Zhang Jizhong, but I just found a bio of him on IMDB and he's quite a heavy hitter. Are any of his Jin Yong series out on DVD? (Not that they would have subtitles)
