One of the best HSDSS series.
I love tv series from Jin Yong's novels since i was young. HSDSS is one of them. I used to watch the 2003 version. I liked the cast and its easy to digest story telling. I had watched the 2019 version because its trailer looked interesting with good production and good-looking cast. Once I started to watch I got hook by Jie Xun storylines, feel love and sad with Wuji mom and dad and the young Wuji fate. Once Wuji grew up I love to see his journey his practice of kungfu and gotta be an reluctant hero. Also love his reunion scenes with all his relatives in the past. I like Wuji character though he is not as smart as Yang Guo but he is kind and always look at the bright side of people. He can forgive everyone even his enemies. However his indecisiveness and unambitious showed that he is not suit to be a great leader.Wuji romantic relationship with Zhao Min in this version is the best for me (the 2003 is very lovely but the 2019 is the best they had everything! up and down, love and hate) I laughed when they're bickering and tears up when they got apart. This Wuji is the most naive one. Both actors had great chemistry i wonder why some said they don't. All actors did perform very well especially the actors who play Jie Xun and ZhaoMin. Though the 2019 looked too much drama comparing to the 2003 which is more light heart. I prefer 2019 a bit more. The things I don't like in 2019 is its rushing to the end, some storylines look jump here and there not as smooth as the 2003.
After watching 2019 version I had searched to watch the 2009 version too. This one is good in production and the detail but lack of feeling somehow, not impressed me as the 2019 did.
