Upcoming C-drama The Swordsman Changes the Big Bad to a Female Character

• $%@3ing Yu Zheng.

• I have to ask: why the magical wolves in the middle of that trailer?

  Otherwise, this looks deliciously non-sensical. I await the fandom's blood-curdling shrieks on baidu. xD

  • If Yu Zheng can turn DFBB into a GIRL, the appearance of magically enormous wolves in this drama doesn't even raise my eyebrow.

    Fandom has already been driven insane with all the promos. Now we just have some really listless and speaking gibberish remnants of fandom who actually are still alive enough to watch this when it premieres next week.

    • Aww, poor babies. I remember when the Chinese Hanadan came out and someone lovingly wrote a huge 50-point list of why it was a smoking pile of dreck and dross drenched up from the depths of a brain on monkey crack, in the most florid Chinese prose ever. It was a thing of beauty. Wonder if we'll get that this time around.

      It's too bad Yu Zheng can't execute anything worthwhile - the premise of DFBB as a girl in itself is super fascinating and an interesting reversal, but this is totally going to end in flames. (Flaaaaaaames on the side of my face.)

      I just wonder if he's going to include werewolves into his canon, it would - nope, it would still not explain an iota.

    • I read that Chinese Hanadan list. That was....epic. E.P.I.C.

      Anyhoo, YZ is really a hack on top of being a slimeball. I agree that the concept of making DFBB a girl is really delicious and fascinating, heck, the movie The Swordsman II already kinda went there when it cast bombshell Bridgette Lin in that role, but there she played a he still.

      I always wonder what else upcoming adaptations of Louis Cha can screw with his canon.

      This might make you spit blood, but word on the street is that PD Lai's upcoming Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils remake is whitewashing Ah Zi, and she might end up with Xiao Feng. To give him a happy ending. Imma go spit up more blood now. BRB.

    • I would like to read that Chinese Hanadan list if anyone Is wiling to share the link or tell me what to search for on Baidu. =3
      Because I heard it was a hit and I tried to watch it but couldn't get through an episode. All of its prior versions are much better.

      Yuan Shan Shan's face is freakin me out. In fact, a lot of chinese actressws are eerily similar. Like, they are following some formula.

• I watched the trailer a few days back and JESUS Qiao En and Wallace look absolutely gorgeous, alone or together. Seriously, I'm shipping them so hard it's no joke. And honestly I think the show's gonna be 50-50 or 25-75 in terms of following the original novel, with the 75 percent going to yu zheng. I wonder what Louis cha thinks of this...

• You know you sound crazy right? lol. In any case, I might have to join the crazy ship if things continue on this way. Oh well, we all need a little madness in our lives. I'm just afraid it's going to be a ton of madness impossible to recover from. eeek. XD ?

  • I just watched the trailer... seeing jin yong's name suddenly explode in big font on this threw me off. For some reason, I expected it be hidden in a corner or something. Oh boy, I'm soooooo nor ready for this.

• Oh, and I forgot to write this because I blanked out, but during the press conference above CQE gave away the ending - apparently DFBB poisons RYY before her wedding to LHC, which was done because of honor and blah blah blah and LHC really loves DFBB. And then DFBB feels bad and ends up dying but donating her heart to the very sick RYY. And so at the end of the drama, LHC ends up with RYY but inside is DFBB's heart. I DID NOT MAKE THIS UP.

  • .. so Yu-zheng style.

  • EH? I am not planning to watch this. But this is worthy of a comment.Ms Koala you are a woman with varied tastes. You never fail to amaze me with some of the trailers you even watch? LOL.

  • OMG - are you serious?! And QE gave that away. Oh... I don't even know what to say. Sigh.

  • WHAT.

  • really.??????? i will skip this for sure, i love ryy character, cant stand to watch one of my fave story from chin yung git butchered.

  • Don't get me wrong. I love the idea of Wallace ending up with QE's "soul" but that has got to be the most ridiculous ending I've ever seen. How is that even possible? Is he seriously going to make LHC so fickle to the point that he actually falls in love with ALL 3 women? And isn't the one woman he loves the most in the end is suppose to be RYY?

• his bangs irks me for some reason

• When did Wallace and Chen Qiao En ever dated?

  • I thought it was way back in the day when they did an SETTV drama together in TW, before Wallace moved on to do only c-dramas (2004? 2003? It has to be a long time already). I don't really follow all the personal stuff but that's what I thought.

    • 100% Senorita?

      HOLY CRAP I DID NOT KNOW THEY DATED! .... I see Joe Chen as this kind of awkward girl like her characters so .. they seem like an odd pairing. Besides, he and Penny Lin were so cute in that drama. I'm mindblown.

• OH GOD I LOVE WALLACE HUO'S BLONDE HAIR <33333333

  What also kinda sucks is that the least pretty actress is playing the one Wallace is going to end up with...Still gonna watch it anyways though there's a whole lotta pretty going on and as long as it's not boring, I'm gonna try stick to it lols

• I'm so confused... isnt Dong Fang Bu Bai suppose to be a male or a castrated male.......???? so did the writer changed the storyline.... ???

• Wow really unexpected. I was gonna try it out anyway since I like Wallace in period/wuxia dramas an I also generally like Chen qiao en though I still need to watch one good period drama of her. But making dfbb a girl makes me actually very happy. I mean he messed up the novel anyway alread. Doesn't hurt to at least letting drama watchers shipping one real couple and not a hero + castrated bastard who likes to crossdress. Looking forward to the 5th February. And it's actually really cool to have the big female antagonist, so not typically wuxia story.

  • Oops i meant badass.
