lol rather than zhang wuji, I like the girlsWhich adaptationI really like the storyline of Heavenly Sword & Dragon Sabre, but as an MC, Zhang Wuju kinda annoyed me with his indecisiveness in love
idt i can choose a favorite among the three. They all have something to offer.
Outside of the trilogy, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is also among my favorite Jin Yong's works
I tried 2003 version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils but I couldn’t get past first 1-2 episodes
what version should I watch?For me, outside of the trilogy, I like the Smiling Proud Wanderer. I watched the 2001 version.

I saw a girl from nowhere mentioned and some episodes truly traumatized me (there’s 2 I don’t think I can ever watch again and I wish there was a trigger warning so I could have never watched it in the first place), but at the same time where is the season 3 we were promised 
I hate horror but this show was art.

Hm, tbh, i could see why. Seeing that you dropped The Three Kingdom, idt you would like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils so I wouldn't recommend it to you afshajk it's a bit "convoluted" with a lot of characters and side plots going on so you'd need to be patient
Watch the other 2 first
it sounded interesting so i was thinking maybe if it got a new adaptation that has good visuals, I might like itHm, tbh, i could see why.

Well, the 2003 had Liu Yifei and Jimmy Lin but you didn't like it so idt any visuals would've helped
Oh, wow, they have the '83 but not '95. Inch resting lol Good luck
Do you like familial love and dispute type of dramas? If so, i might have another tvb rec

>:(But Arcane season 2 is coming in November. WATCH ARCANE!
I'm on episode 4 now per your rec and Powder annoyed the heck out of me but it's been really good so far!
bad people in condor heroes come to make trouble… lost the fight and then they just say i will be back 10 or 15 years later to make trouble again. good guy said ok i will be waiting. then when the bad guys win, good guys will get killed... what? they are just making trouble for themselves

Yeah, it's annoying. Like they say, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Are you watching it right now? How does it stack up against the '83 version for you?
Stannie
>:(Oh, almost forgot why i came here for.
I'm rewatching A Quiet Place and it's so good. One of my favorite thriller movies. No cheap jump scares and just pure good acting and script writing. 1000% recommended for anyone looking for a good horror movie. I forgot the prequel just came out this year so I'll go watch that next

yup! i finished the first 5 eps but the one i am watching is return of condor heroes. the 83 one is legend of condor heroes. although i probably should watch the 90s version of LOCH first since i didn’t remember some of the namesYeah, it's annoying.

was it Louis Koo the one you said very handsome?

Oops, i mixed them up lol Yeah, i think better to watch LOCH first because it's the prequel (the main pairing there (Chilam Cheung and Athena Chu is cute together). And yep, i think Louis Koo was really good looking there but idk if you feel the same ahshsk
I am still at the kid version of Yang Guo so I haven’t met Louis Koo yet! But if I start watching LOCH first, I won’t meet him for a couple of months

sdlkf nvm, then just stick to this one. The two series aren't co-dependent so you'd be able to enjoy one without the other
P.S. I started episode 1 of Bridgerton. Why nobody warned me of all these s*xual scenes beforehand
It's alright so far...but ugh, really not my cup of tea. Can'tmy colleagues watch something more interesting 
I remember vaguely what happened in LOCH so I should be fine. There is always wikisdlkf nvm, then just stick to this one. The two series aren't co-dependent so you'd be able to enjoy one without the other

For Bridgerton, those scenes are there every season.. I thought that’s the norm for every American shows

Tragic
Yeah, probably the norm that's why I've never really watched American shows except for a selected few. As a cultured and conservative lady, I'm moving to Asia 
Ugh, I'll try to give it a few more episodes before deciding if I should just drop.
i am not sure asia is any betterTragic
but i think most watch Bridgerton for costumes and pretty people.. not for plot 
recently finished watching She and Her Girls, cdrama based on a real life person named Zhang Gui Mei who founded the first and only chinese free public high school for girls in the rural/mountain areas. definitely recommended! i cried so many times watching this but still it has humor as well. It’s a touching and heartwarming story. full review about this drama:
