Chinese Paladin Series

Liu YiFei as Ling Er (灵儿) and Hu Ge as Xiao Yao (逍遥哥哥) in Chinese Paladin 仙剑奇侠传。

I absolutely am a sore bum for this series! So much that is happening and I can't stop letting my emotions get in the way of it. Though it is good to cry ahahaha~

Anyway! I have finally finished watching Chinese Paladin with mum! Whoo! And to be honest, I really thought that it was quite centered on the characters but I guess that with Chinese stories, that is definitely not the case.

Actually, this drama was based off the original game and although there are slight alterations between the originality of the game and the drama, I am disappointed that we still don't know who 李逍遥's (Li Xiao Yao) parents are!! After all that commotion and I was like...huh? It ended...

I feel like selling my series now that I have seen it. Sadly, its not good quality, especially towards the end where the sounds are distorted. That is what you get when you don't know which company you are buying the "dvd" from. Haaa...it makes me want to play the games now!! 4 games in total with the first being known as the Legend of Sword and Fairy (the actual name whereas Chinese paladin is the drama name), in which they are all prequels or sequels released at after the first.

Drama Synopsis

The kingdom of Nan Zhao is brainwashed by the chief of a moon-worshipping cult who forces the King to sentence his Queen to death, claiming that she is a demoness. In reality, the queen is the descendent of Nu Wa, a goddess. The evil chief unleashes a water demon and the queen sacrifices herself to save her people from the demon. Before she sacrifices, she asks Jiu Zui Xian and a masked stranger to bring her daughter and grandmother away.
The present story occurs 10 years after the prologue. Li Xiao Yao is a mischievous orphan who lives with his auntie. His auntie falls sick with an incurable illness which will result in death. 2 mysterious men appeared and told Xiao Yao to travel to a magical land to retrieve an antidote for her that is able to cure any illness. He meets Zhao Ling'er who is the long-lost daughter of Nan Zhao Kingdom's Queen together with her grandmother. Xiao Yao is mystified when Ling'er and her grandmother recognises his name and calls him a saviour.
Following on from there, Xiao Yao tries to retrieve the antidote for his auntie but have to meet certain conditions before he can return home......

The synopsis only covers about half of the 1st episode. Enough said...otherwise I will reveal too much. It is a solid drama where love is the centered theme (love triangles) and not to mention the apprehensive and exhilarating swordfights. Though there were some pretty scary zombie scenes....It is not just a series for females but males can also enjoy this as well since the series documents all of Li Xiao Yao 李逍遥's journey but on the other hand, there are side stories as well which fits into the overall image of the drama.

I encourage you to watch it! It is really compelling.



阿奴和唐钰小宝(Ah Nu and Tang Yu).  逍遥哥哥和灵儿 （Xiao Yao and Ling Er - though I wished that the Ling is the one on the hand as it looks more nicely written than "灵". Click to enlarge.

Well I am not going to write more than this or show pictures more than this so you will have to watch it!
