A legendary drama!

I have watched this series thrice: The first time when I was a little girl, together with my older brother. I remember myself playing "Hu San-Niang" in the woods and that I had a huge crush on "Shi Jin".
Later, I rewatched it in my twenties and after that again with my son when he was about 8 years old. He loved it, too.

The story, evolving around Lin Chong, an official fallen in disgrace who will become a renegade, is full of action and never gets boring. The fighting-scenes are enjoyable, but don't compare them with recent dramas.

The acting is particularly bad, so much so that it becomes hilariously good.

If you don't mind to watch an old series filmed 50 years ago (with the special effects of that time), this should be your first choice,

I'll conclude by the saying (those who watched will remember it): "Don't despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon"
