For anyone that doesn't know about "Legend of White Snake", it's a famous Chinese Mythology depicting of a tragic romance between a mortal (weak scholar) and snake (a White snake who's close to reaching enlightenment to become a deity).

my childhood hero
when i was a child, about 7-8years, i waited, watched, record, rewatch this serial. I love the costume, FX (at that time the FX was pretty cool), acting, and mostly the OSTs. I was amazed. When i was in 30s i rewatch and i thought i would be bored but then i was still amazed.. now im 40s and still can remember all the lyrics. this white snake is my legend hero. the story teaches me the importance to respect family union, unversal kindness and piety filial. I also love the anciet Chinese culture here, the architect, the nature, the temple, the BuddaWas this review helpful to you?
NOT A FEMALE LOVE DRAMA!! A 1000 Year Old White Snake, & A 400 Year Old Green Snake Becoming Humans!
1ST I WANTED TO SAY THIS IS NOT A FEMALE LOVE DRAMA, And For Those Of You Thinking Why Is The Female Lead Playing The Male Part... The Reason Why The Female Lead Is Playing The Male Part Is, Because This Is A Taiwanese Drama, And Back Then Taiwanese Were More Conservative, And For There Convenience, They Chose Females To Play Male Parts As To Not To Let The Female Feel Embarrassed, Or Uncomfortable As To Being Touch Or Held By A Male And What Not... At Least That Is What My Understand Is From Taiwanese Opera!!! (Although In My Taiwanese Opera, The Females Were The Only That Knew How To Sing The Opera Parts. Men Were Very Rare, And I Only Knew Of 3 Male Taiwanese Opera Singers. The Very 1st One I Think Was Only In 1 Or 2 Taiwanese Opera, And Was Never To Be Seen Again... Another One Was Only In One Taiwanese Opera That I Know Of, And Disappeared. So Technically Only One Continued Working As A Taiwanese Opera Actor. ***"YANG WAI MING"!!!***)2ND I Watched This Drama When I Was The Age Of 13 Or 14, So I Bearly Remember Very Much Of This Drama, I Watched Over 30 Years Ago...
I Do Remember Liking The Story Line, And How A White 1000 Year Old White Snake Could Turn Into A Pretty Lady, And Her 400 Year Old Green Snake Friend Could Turn In To A Human Too... I'm Amazed That I Still Remember How Old The Snakes Were. As Far As The Female, Playing The Male, I Can't Remember If She's A Student Of Some Sort Or A Monk, But He Falls In Love This The White Snake, And She Falls In Love With Him. OH AND HE DOESN'T KNOW SHES A SNAKE, UNTIL ONE DAY HE'S IN BED ***JUST SLEEPING TOGETHER*** AND SHE TURNS INTO THE SNAKE, AND SCARES THE LIVING BEEP OUT OF HIM. SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE MOON, I BELIEVE WHEN EITHER THE MOON IS FULL OR THERE IS NO MOON, SHE'LL BECAUSE A SNAKE!!! Ever After Her Turning Into A Snake, I Don't Think He Finds Out She Is A Snake Yet. All The Signs Were There, But Yet So Clueless... How Blinding Love Can Be!!!
***Sadly I Can't Even Remember What Happened At The End, If It Was A Happy Ending, Or Sad Ending!!!***
THIS ALL I CAN REMEMBER, AND TO BE HONEST I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF I AM CORRECT ABOUT WHAT I WROTE ABOUT DRAMA IS CORRECT!!! Because Like I Said I Watched It More Then 30 Years Ago, And I Only Watched It Once.
I Will Say This Even At The Age Of 13-14, I Thought That The Female Playing The Male Lead Didn't Act Very Will, And She Lagged In Personality, And Just... I Don't Kbow, She Just Didn't Do A Great Job. I Don't Know Who She Is, And I Have Nothing Against Her, Or Anything Like That, So If You Are A Fan Of Hers, I'm Very Sorry!!! Maybe I'm Comparing Her To My Taiwanese Opera Actor, But... The White Snake Female Lead, And Green Snake Lady Did Great, Except For The One Playing The Male. Maybe She Was Nervous Playing A Male Part Being A Female... She Just Doesn't Look Confortable At All, LIKE IN THE DRAMA PICTURE!!! SHE KIND OF LOOKS TERRIFIED, AND SCARED IN THE DRAMA'S PICTURE WHILE WHITE SNAKE LOOKS ALL GITTY, AND SO HAPPY... Hey They Do Say Opposite's Attrack!!! No, I'm Just Kidding, But I'm SERIOUSLY Thinking It Could Be Her 1st Time Playing A Male Lead Part That's Why.
I Was Trying To Remember If The Drama Was Spoken In Taiwanese, Or Mandarin, And I Can't Even Remember... Anyways This Is My Review, I Don't Think I'll Ever Watch It Again, But If I Do, I'll Update My Review For Now This Is It.
