YesAsia Editorial Description

Louis Cha (Jin Yong)'s first wuxia novel has got an update in this 2008 adaptation by Hunan TV. The action-packed costume drama series is headlined by Hong Kong stars Adam Cheng, Niki Chow, and Deep Ng, with the support of Mainland actor Qiao Zhenyu (The Spirit of the Sword) and Taiwan actor Liu De Kai (The Legend and the Hero). The legendary Adam Cheng got his major break as an actor in the 1976 TVB version of The Book and the Sword playing three lead roles (Chan Ka Lok, Emperor Qianlong, and Fu Kang An). This time, he reprises his role as Qianlong. Qiao Zhenyu replaces him in the pivotal role of Chan Ka Lok, who leads his Red Flower Society heroes in the rebellion against the Qing Empire. Chan and Qianlong both fall in love with a tribal princess, and more complications arise with the shocking revelation of the rivals' true identities...

Simply marvelous Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is the third DVD I bought from YesAsia, and it is the best. Almost all the cast played wonderfully. The best ones were those who played Emperor Qian Long, Chen Jia Luo's master, the Queen Dowager, He Shen, Bai Zhen, Zhao Qi and of course the Ninth Prince. Although I have never read the book, I trust the script follows it closely - or otherwise I believe it would not be that superb. The fights were great and there were only a few 2 - 3 minute slow parts in the whole series. The only thing I do not like are some 'f...' words on the English translation. There were some bad translation which sometimes were funny, like 'sweet talk' being translated into 'sweat talk'. But when you start following the Hollywood's culture of swearing 'f...' word, the movie suddenly loses some of its elegance. Nevertheless, if you can forget those 'f...' words, you will find that this film is simply marvelous!

 The Book and Sword (2009) Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This revised version by Loius Cha is the best of all versions. The storyline is logical and sensible. Louis Cha should consider updating all his past works. That would bring such immense enjoyment to his fans. Vicki Chow is such a refreshing beauty from Hong Kong. Her role adds strength to this already excellent series.

Amazing tales from louis cha's novels, transformed into this solid and interesting tv series, recommended for everyone who loves classic wuxia stories or any fans of jin yong novels, i would love to rate this series by perfect point, however since there's no English subs, i can only give 6 at the moment......just to advice for any producer who like to sell in us market or just simply want to add their package with us version tittle, please be aware that English will be the main element, otherwise please don't mock American audiences with no subs conditions. thanks
