The Legend Of White Snake (DVD) (Digitally Remastered) (Ep.1-50) (End) (English Subtitled) (China Version) DVD Region All

This Taiwan television series shot in 1992 is widely accepted to be the definitive adaptation of the Chinese folklore legend The Legend of White Snake. The 50-episode fantasy romance tells how Bai Su Zhen, the white snake spirit, falls in love with mortal scholar Xu Xian. The two get married, but Bai is hunted by monk Fa Hai, who eventually traps Bai underneath a pagoda. Bai would find redemption 20 years later with her son, Xu Shi Lin.

The inspired cast is perhaps one of the main reasons this series attained classic status. Angie Chiu proved popular with the viewers as Bai, as did Cecilia Yip playing the handsome male lead Xu Xian. Both of them play two roles, with Yip doubling as the grown-up Xu Shi Lin and Chiu playing the rabbit spirit who is sent to kill (but ends up falling for) Xu. In supporting roles are Maggie Chan as the green snake and Qian De Men as Fa Hai.

The series features many Chinese folk-style songs and this digitally remastered edition includes a collection of these theme songs as a bonus.
