background action sequences theme music sounds a bit too western

Cons

plot

episode 1

skipping 第01章天涯思君不可忘 and 第02章武當山頂松柏長 backstory on 郭襄峨嵋九陽神功張君寶武當張三丰 connecting to 神鵰俠侶 the return of condor heroes may be arguable understandable to speed things up.

very excessive use of slow-mo - from first shot that likely pays homage to 臥虎藏龍 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon bamboo trees top flying scenes.

crtiqing ink calligraph on umbrella in the rain on a boat? must be very good coating :)

episode 2

殷素素 said 龙门镖局满门鸡犬不留 before she followed 张翠山 and heard the same thing?

catch almost fell off stage girl?

WTH? what happened to 銀鉤鐵劃, instead of special weapons, just use palm to write words on rock stage (not a cliff?)? even 王重陽林朝英黃藥師郭靖丘處機 couldn't do it.

kiss by accident when boat tipped, really??

episode 3

catching the falling girl by the waist again? at least no underwater kiss (殷素素王媛可 saving 张翠山 though) like in 2009 remake

episode 4

baby has big eyes? pun that the adult actor has unusual big eye?

episode 5

纪晓芙杨逍 expanded story vs the book (at least in older editions?)

got bullied by old lady selling same vegetables and pissed at 纪晓芙 selling way better because she is pretty (and choose not to fight back)?

episode 8

張三丰 toying with the monk doll, is that something to do with 郭襄? is that in the book or fan theory?

didn't young 周芷若 just feed 张无忌, hugging now? expanded story vs the book (at least in older editions?)

episode 13, 14

周芷若 plotline expanded?

was it in the book or added in one of previous version? healing a small white rabbit may be a little overdone 煽情/矫情?

it is hard for 周芷若 (祝绪丹) not to get bullied by evil sister #1 丁敏君 even if she is not the smartest, strongest, prettiest and 滅絕師太 teacher's pet if you are the only one wears white dress in the whole 峨嵋

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1103771120807931904

episode 16

script writers couldn't figure out other to do intermacy other than physical contact?

after both grown up - fly up to catch fell from cliff 周芷若 and spiral down in slow motion?

episode 17

serious shortage of romatic moment idea? carry on the back?

episode 19

didn't have time to do VFX of the bag explosion? only shows debris on last scene

episode 20

what did 小昭 overstep? to get boss girl mad and almost got killed.

how can you put the bed sheet and pillows back on top of the secret door, the bed, after you jumped down?

张无忌 hand got issues :) protecting 小昭 in tunnel from rocks, 1st shot he was holding her head, it then cut to holding her shoulder?

how can 小昭 tell it was the monk? they can't see him running away from rock

why swing the torch twice in the armory? get rid of spider web or something? can't really see

the secret tunnel layout makes no sense. if 33rd head tried to trap the enemy, the only exit is beyond the door that need the special martial art, you cannot go back from the bedroom or go downhill. they are now trapped only because of big rocks blocking the way up through the bed (after pushed open another door which can be open with other kungfu? it should not be 3 doors like in the scene.

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1107787489346048000

小昭 was afraid of the skeletons, why she dare to get the envelope out of the corpse clothing?

明教 is from 帕莎? not 波斯? different area or just translation changed?

小昭 back story cut short? not from house at foot of headquarter with fake parents, picked up in desert? didn't pretend to be ugly and limping? chain didn't get longer when try to pull apart? didn't sing and dance Persian song (it only sounds Persian in the intro music, only 45 seconds was shown).

how did 小昭 know that level 6 took ~1/2 時辰 to finish? they are inside a cave (well, magically with some light from a hole in top [for filming?])

levitation during learning 乾坤大挪移心法 is bit wild.

why sweat? came off hands after finished? palms not very steady either.

no explanation the 19 sentences in level 7 are mistakes, won't work.

what paper is 小昭 holding when they succeeded in opening the door? the letter? not inside envelope? if it is the sheet skin, it was folded up again when put on tomb.

there is no mentioned 小昭 looks foreign (eye color, nose) after they escaped?

episode 22

first time indoor 光明顶大战?

张无忌 saved 周芷若, 1st shot he grabs her by the waist, it then cut to the flying frame, he is holding her by the shoulder?

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1104367953779265537

broke the 180-degree editing rule? during the climax scene, 周芷若 was on left most of the time, suddenly there is one cut (not during 360 panning) she is on right, then switched back to left and push the sword forward to 张无忌 on right of screen.

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1106917876492062720

script error?

宋遠橋 said 告辞 (goodbye) to 張無忌? doesn't sound right being the uncle, not sure i have ever heard people in senior status use that to junior

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1109904287075835904

episode 23

the what? 殷梨亭 have inn people bought 杨不悔 clothings (right size and color/style) after injured and she gave hers away got to be a first 撩妹殷六叔.

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1106572333869879296

episode 25

Wudang 武當 security is terrible ;) Zhang Wuji 張無忌 can just walked th

rough the buildings with tens of people practicing martial arts along the paths and not one questioned him what the stranger was doing there?

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1108479312280338444

episode 26

expanded story line again? 殷梨亭 to 杨不悔 "how much i love you" 撩妹殷六叔 #2

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1108513221173039104

episode 27

OMG the evil monk didn't just say "我办事你放心"

https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E4%BD%A0%E8%BE%A6%E4%BA%8B%EF%BC%8C%E6%88%91%E6%94%BE%E5%BF%83

episode 29

finally something more original and sweet, not those cliché save/catch the falling girls scenes 赵敏 (陈钰琪) tried to hold hands with 张无忌, just shadows for the moment in the wet street at night (until next episode got to restaurant & did it for real)

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1109532958107623426

script error again? 光明右使范遙 pretended to be 色目武士 (mute monk except in this edition, who talks) to get into 汝阳王府? uses color contact lens like 小昭 and 黛綺絲 actresses?

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1109903723336220672

episode 30

(and 第23集)

kind of unusual, explicitly setting up 赵敏陈钰琪 to be much prettier than 周芷若 (祝绪丹), 杨不悔 (孙安可) {& 小昭 (许雅婷), part 张无忌 said she is beautiful out of 光明顶 not in this edition}?

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1109455552462110720

episode 32

周芷若祝绪丹 made the same mistake again, got bullied again by evil sister #1 丁敏君 and others - only one of the whole 峨嵋 wears white, bad idea

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1109515897625083905

episode 34

张无忌 keeps saying just think 小昭 (even 趙敏 calls her 小白兔 in this edition) as his little sister, right, one of the most likable character (closet is 雙兒 depends on reader), nobody will remotely believe that lie

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1111973321120366592

episode 38

are the 2 explicit attempted sexual assaults of 周芷若 by 丐帮宋青书 really necessary.
every one know they are the bad guys.
worse than 画蛇添足, completely unnecessary.

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1114279204177293312

the dialogs in the 强暴 scene are just as bad, who wrote those lines in the script 走火入魔 writers? 宋青书 before try to 強姦周芷若: 他（张无忌）把赵敏那个妖女已经迷奸了我不会让那个大魔头玷污个你的

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1114531913581178880

episode 40

for all things that can change to make the story better, instead of the disappointing modifications,the writers could not follow the novel 人設 & remove the ridiculous personal orchestra follows 黄衫女子赵樱子,but no

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1114562957197942784

episode 46

周芷若 post 黑化 mental conflict and 反反复复 emotional rollercoaster almost too much for audience to take in, very close to be more interesting than 赵敏撒糖 not very successful crafted new plot

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1116416064567554050

周顛 go'n got fired keep verbal sexual harass boss love interests 第25集刺激赵敏不如你嫁给我们教主做小妾好不好第46集干擾黑化周芷若你这衣服也不好看长得也不好看身材也不好 worse than 第45集成昆 (小淫贼) 就连汝阳王的郡主也被迷惑失身于他

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1117946617309671425

黑化周芷若屠獅大會實力揮鞭，A爆了，可誰知路透中的她卻是凌亂掌門 https://kknews.cc/entertainment/l9k35l9.html … but where is the video? "被導演「指使」揮鞭轉圈的周掌門時，卻是忍不住笑了！因為這同一個人的形象反差，實在是太大了！甚至這種反差，反差到了可愛的地步！ "

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1118843656138579969

episode 48

doing the iconic line 周芷若祝绪丹:倘若我问心有愧呢？ in flash back instead of telling it linear, does it really help anything? keeps the suspend when audience is expecting it next, but no show as surprise?

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1116453775294771201

audience are really not buying 第48集 writers' invention of new stretched 洗白 of nobody feel sorry/care loser 宋青书下线, (still has 守宮砂, is that part going to get cut too?) 周芷若 (祝绪丹) 泪别 https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4360346523154402 …

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1116841327084355584

episode 49

that's probably the most idiot thing to say (thought 赵敏 is died, lose 3 of 4 love interests already) shouldn't u try to 和周芷若再续前缘 instead? "它 (butterfly, not the dead fake husband ash) 好喜欢你"& got the look

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1118835619118112768

episode 50

(大结局) not very exciting does anyone care 给赵敏画眉 and not be emperor? or everyone just want to know whether 周芷若一件事 is "不能拜堂成亲 ... 过得十年八年,你心里就只会想着我,就只不舍得我,这就够了"

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1116849312263278592

aftermath 黑心莲花烂尾洗白?even 编剧关展博 dragged into 赵敏周芷若红玫瑰与白玫瑰 as "周芷若亲妈粉” https://www.guancha.cn/politics/2019_04_18_498233.shtml …

editing

duplicate dialogs

episode 1

repeated same dialogs - if 宋遠橋 determined it was hurt by 大力金剛指, why surprise when saw the gold later on?

(did it take that many years to eventually found out who else know that technique later in the story)

episode 2

偷抢屠龙刀

男才女貌碧人

episode 4

even simple as

both ice & volcano

next year today, will be anniversary of your death

dialog lines have to be re-used?

episode 33

the cut is way too fast, you can hardly see how 殷离 got hit by 金花婆婆 golden flowers

episode 41

范遙 said to 趙敏 similar lines about being teacher for 10 years at least 3 times in 5 minutes

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1114622767931056130

episode 48 & 49

another WTH editing continuity script error end of 第48集 said sorry late (thought girlfriend just "died") going to lead you guys 直捣黄龙 where the hack is the leader in 第49集? nowhere to be seen in opening scene

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1118834108824788993

production design

武当山明教光明顶 secret cave not as cool as 2009 龍游石窟

episode 50

第50集 (大结局) 宝刀屠龙果然利害好锋利 (or set designer/VFX director too lazy to make it real) hasn't even cut through龙椅, already broke into 2 piecess

https://twitter.com/yipcw/status/1119214469274533888

make up

lots of little braids? 周芷若 semi-nun, still got a lot, even some guys

from various posts coments - (don't really bother me)

some people really got issue with 殷素素 bright red lipstick even on island, and sometimes her "inverted eyebrow" 八字眉? others dislike "korean style horizontal eyebrow"? 韩式一字眉

some critics don't like dresses that are more like 玄幻, 仙侠剧

dubbing

张翠山's 配音 voice is less than satisfactory

Pros

杨逍自带筷子 is too funny, original?

sceneries are nice

elaborate customs

not much yikey terrible VFXes
