Heaven Blade and Dragon Sabre
I have been watching yi tian tu long ji for the past 2 weeks. Must say that the director did quite a fair job in making the novel interesting, though I am not sure how many parts did he massacre. According to Dingjie, the hero Zhang Wuji was supposed to learn a couple of other skills before learning some ultimate one. Nevertheless, I personally find the show exciting. Quite rare, since I don't watch TV. The last show I watch was Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, though they change a lot from the original plot.
This is also the first time I have watched a show from Jin Yong before reading his novels. Thus I hate whenever the show ends in a cliffhanger for next week. Regardless, at least the show represents something for me to look forward to after every week. It's worth it watching 2hrs per show during the weekends.
Had to reassure my friend that the Desert Rose isn't I.U.H.I.A.J, though it's understandable for him to think so. After all, she's the ban hua (literally means class flower). No, the Desert Rose is another person, and her name sounds similar to the Mongolian Princess in yi tian tu long ji...
