hihi....is this a hong kong serials?
?can i rent it somewhere???
Its the latest China serial, not hongkong. I was also looking to rent one from the tvb shop downstairs (near the pet shop). However, they only rent hongkong drama serials.
Therefore, I had no choice but to buy it. Its quite cheap actually as TS is having some moving out sale. There should be 2 VCD sets and 1 DVD set left when I was there.
Anyway, the latest development in China's filming skill and technology amazes me. I always thought they could only film Qin emperor or those romance of 3 kingdoms sort. Boy, was I wrong. Previously, hongkong was the leader in this. However, compared to China, they are now nowhere. Hongkong uses cheap styrofoam rocks and stiff & unrealistic fighting sequences. To add insult to injury,they overdo with the special effects where pugilists stand absolutely still during combat, with blazing lasers fly around...absolutely cheapo.
Shen Diao Xiao Lu set a new precedent to show that dramas need not be either action or romance. It can be both. It is a tear-jerker, yet it satisfies the kungfu die-hards.
