if i recall correctly, qiaofeng never use sword? leung ka yan is still.the best ever qiaofeng in movie or series after all this years.

qiaofeng life is a tragic, felix is good at the heroic part, but i really see leung take the tragic role aptly, anyhow, its personal liking.

wrt adaptation especially historical and wuxia, tvb lack resources, but know how to make series that well received by most. china producer are more capable to make series that have much depth and more adapt to the original or history (provided the atmosphere is more open and free at certain period), thus hujun version is not bad.

intersting, what about dongfang bubai and feng qingyang?
