my favorite swords movie
this is a drama about swords that I like the most, the roles are very good and the story is interesting every time and the cast is also very impressive and also beautiful and handsome.
This film is also very tense, especially when they fight fiercely, it makes me crazy and excited to watch, my whole family really likes this film, even my 65 year old grandmother is crazy about this film.
and also in this story there are some motivational words and words of wisdom and it involves a love triangle which is very exciting to watch when the main male and female players feel jealous of each other.
This is my favorite film but unfortunately it only has 37 episode
love this movie 💓💓💓

I love Ryan Ding as Dongfang Bu Bai
I watch this version of The New Smiling, Proud Wanderer just because Ryan Ding is there as the legendary Dongfang Bu Bai. And today is Ryan Ding’s birthday so I write several reviews just for him. This series is my tenth Ryan Ding’s drama.When Ryan Ding played Dongfang Bu bai, he was still a new actor but he already did a wonderful job as Dongfang Bu Bai. He has his own interpretation of Dongfang Bu bai and he did great. I am surprised that Ryan can play a villain perfectly.
To all people complaining why Dongfang Bu Bai is a male, I think all of you need to read the books first. Dongfang Bu Bai is a male that is being castrated just like an eunuch. Dongfang isn’t a female and at that time, there is no hormonal therapy or plastic surgery so his appearance should be still male. I am not completely blind when I watch this series. I have watched several versions before, and I also watch and read other Jin Yong’s works including the famous Condor trilogy. So if people still complain about Dongfang being male or female, please go back and read the books!
Okay I will be back to this series. Ryan Ding looks really young here but he already showcased his talent as a wonderful actor. He portrayed the charismatic Dongfang Bu Bai perfectly. I can feel his struggle, his pain, his emotion so well and I think he is much better that several actors that played Dongfang Bu Bai before. This is only my personal opinion. His acting outshines other co stars here including Ling Huchong.
Amongst Jin Yong main characters, Ling Huchong is my least favourite. He seems weaker than the antagonists including Dongfang Bu Bai. My favourite main characters from Jin Yong works is always Zhang Wuji because he is so strong. And my favourite character from The Smiling Proud Wanderer is Dongfang Bu bai. I am so happy that Ryan Ding was casted as Dongfang Bu Bai instead of Ling Huchong.
I will recommend this series to Wuxia fans and Jin Yong fans. Maybe they change the story quite a lot but the essence of the story is still the same and I enjoy my experience watching this version of Smiling Proud Wanderer. This is my second favourite adaptation after the 1984 version.
Story: 10/10
Acting/Cast: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Rewatch Value: 10/10
Overall: 10/10
Happy Birthday Ryan Ding / Ding Yuxi. I hope you will be more successful in the future.

its actually a great novel story by Jin Yong BUT THE BACK GROUND MUSIC SO ANNOYING
This is a very good story , but poor cast and screen writer. I know this story well, its a one of my favorite, one of the best story drama of all time. I watched State Of Divinity 2000 Drama series is a damn good drama. then follow with another good remake Swordsman 2013. Its a pity a good story like this but with a poor quality in act and capitalized the story into this drama. Look so cheap and rushed the story too fast compare to state of divinity 2000 or swordsman 2013.I wish that would be another remake in the future for this drama, a better one . Don't rushed it ( 37ep) , State Divinity is a great example how you make a drama story based on the Jin Yong , Xiao Ao Jiang Hu novel.
Very bad fighting scene and the art of fighting is soo bad, really a cheap trick in a martial arts fights. And the back ground music is even worse. Is very disturbing , no class at all. Anyway i still give the story 8, may be because i know this coming from a first class novel, only poor director who made this movie looks so bad. AND THE BACK GROUND MUSIC SO ANNOYING , ITS SO BAD, make me crazy.

Such a waste of time
The music especially the back sound when there was a fight was really disturbing!The act and performance of the casts was so so. The fights were like a joke. I saw people were rehearsing for a show instead of giving the reality looks a like. one hit or a few, everyone got internal bleeding and kept going from one fight to another. Why are they all so weak? Its just not make sense at all. Really bad delivery in many aspects.
I read in the other preview someone depended this series by saying many people complain because of the stars are not their fave. NO! I dont care about the stars. I watch wuxia to see the good fight in good stories and great plot and delivery. I could disagree with the story line a few wuxia but its because of the personal taste. But this one.. yeah 4/10 is the best i could give.

Crash landing a luxurious flight.
The drama started on a slow pace which after a while caught quickly and reached real peak of the story around episode 20s which, unfortunately, 'crash landed in the Hudson river'.The acting were okay except some places as some shot really didn't match the flow. The production was also quite good as they brought out the spot sense. Cast could do slightly better in terms of some characters. Even then they did a great job and I enjoyed most of the drama.
The drama had a great flow of interesting events which later the story's lack or because of the direction they messed it up towards the end. Overall It's very interesting to some extend in the drama.

ストーリーはドラマチックです
音楽はたしかにうるさいです。笑しかし私はそこまで気になりませんでした。
それよりも話はずっと複雑に展開していきますが、その展開のさせ方に少し無理があるように思えました。
主役の令孤冲がずっと色んな人たちに巻き込まれるのは運命だとしても、彼の周りの人たちが様々な意見に振り回され証拠もないのに彼を信じず疑ってすぐ殺そうとするのが陳腐でした。
キャストの主要メンバーはもっと演技を頑張ってほしいですが、東方不敗役の丁禹兮は素晴らしかったです。
私は元々彼のファンなので、このドラマを見始めたのですが、東方不敗は他のドラマでは女性が演じることが多い中、今回は丁禹兮が演じています。
この難しく中性的な役がぴったりでした。
しかし、東方不敗はその名の通り敵なしなくらい強いはずですが、このドラマの東方不敗は全く違います。やたらとピンチになります。
物語の核となる無敵の剣技「辟邪剣譜」を巡る戦いと欲望の話ですが、とにかく後半の展開は納得できない流れが多く、無理やり繋げてる感じがしました。
ストーリー自体はおすすめできませんが、丁禹兮の東方不敗を見る価値はあります。
