Chinese, English Subtitles
Disc 2 of 9 discs
4 stars
Rainy Day started Disc 2 last night, and isn't really sure how much she'll watch. The music is annoying – too modern for the film/story – and, well, Rainy Day figured out what's really bugging her. It's a soap opera with Martial Arts. The photography is still marvelous, and the costuming is still gorgeous, the Martial Arts superb, but how many times can the Hero (Gor) call out for the Heroine (Gu Gu) and vice versa?? The subtitles seem a bit better, it's just that Rainy Day has a hard time with most soap operas. Also, in all honesty (that is the best, is it not?) this disc was meant to be seen one episode weekly, not 5 in a night. If I watched one a week, I would be hanging onto my sofa waiting for the next episode.
Have you seen this series? Does it get better? Should Rainy Day just 'lighten up'? Perhaps the novel is better?
