The Duke of Mount Deer 1984

This is my second favorite "The Duke of Mount Deer" adaptation after "The Duke of Mount Deer 1998" with Jordan Chan and Steven Ma.

Tony Leung: He's good as Wei Xiao Bao but he's too good-looking. 4****

Andy Lau: He's the best Kang Xi Emperor. 5*****

Elaine Chow: She's adorable in here! 5*****

Mirta King: A really pretty Princess Jian Ning but not ruthless enough. 4****

Kiki Sheung: I thought she was miscast as Ah Ke since she's not pretty enough. 3***

Carina Lau: The prettest and best Fang Yi. 5*****

Tony+Andy: The best friendship portrayed. 5*****

Tony+Elaine: 4****

Tony+Mirta: 3***

Tony+Kiki: 2**

Tony+Carina: They finally got married in real-life. 3***

The Return of the Condor Heroes 1983

I love Andy Lau but this is not my favorite adaptation of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" since I like the 1995 adaptation a lot better. The biggest reason I don't like this as much as everybody else is because I find Idy Chan as Xiao Long Nu extremely annoying. I like the character Xiao Long Nu because of Carmen Lee but I was even feeling hatred towards Xiao Long Nu because of Idy Chan's portrayal since I found Idy Chan overrated as Xiao Long Nu, as an actress, and in terms of looks. I also found the plot to be a little bit draggy since I couldn't feel the love/chemistry between Andy Lau and Idy Chan.

Andy Lau: I think he's the best Yang Guo in terms of personality and looks. 5*****

Idy Chan: She's not cold and elegant enough as Xiao Long Nu in my opinion. 3***

Actors Part I

Favorites:

1. Louis Koo - same with Jessica Hsuan; I don't remember when I started to like him either. I like his roles in The Return of the Condor Heroes 1995 and War and Remembrance, but I love him when he's darker so I guess the obsession started in Detective Investigative Files IV.
2. Julian Cheung - I officially like Julian in Point of No Return but I enjoyed watching him in Take My Word For It.
   
3. Raymond Lam - I used to think Raymond was a copycat of Louis because they are both dark but I think he's an even better actor than Louis himself. It all started with A Step into the Past.
   
4. Bosco Wong - I used to dislike Bosco for his role in Find the Light but he won me over in Triumph in the Skies, even though his role was small.
   
5. Ron Ng - I'm embarrassed to say I like Ron since he's kind of a bad actor but he has been improving... I thought he was really good looking in Find the Light.
   
6. Andy Lau - I love Andy in Infernal Affairs and the Return of the Condor Heroes 1983.
