I am a great fan of all phases of Wallace Chung's talent. This drew me to this series, and is the reason I am continuing to watch it and will re-watch parts of it.
His singing of the theme song drew me in further.
The major flaw appears to be, as I havent read the novel, trying to use too much of the novel on the screen.
We have two mediums, and they aren't completely interchangeable. As a result, the plot drifts from the main theme over and over, taking far too long to tell this story.
The story itself is a good one, with a beautiful message on the differences in love and the diamond sharp beauty of unconditional love.
Wallace Chung's character is developed well. Chung's performance is complete as always.
The cinematography is exquisite,a feast.
The theme song done by Wallace Chung is lovely! Soundtrack otherwise is often far too loud and off putting.
This piece needs a more condensed storyline and major editing for cohesiveness. While part of this can be attributed to censorship, the film needs more work for polish and smoothness. It deserves it.
This is a fascinating story with superb actors. I do recommend the film, in spite of some repetitiveness and length.
I love this series. It is flawed, but the acting and cinematography is superb. It has a happy ending!
