As for Kwok Ching unfortunately he is written to be dumb and good. He just has great martial arts foundation. That's why in Duel on Mount Hua he never really wins, Wong Yung helps him "cheat" and the elders let him. I have read the original novel too many times to count looking for that hidden brilliance but I am sad to tell you the 1983 characterisation is pretty much spot on. Jin Yong himself was very involved in the making and how the characters were conveyed. It was a huge deal for him bc it was the first time his books were made into drama in such a big way. The real brilliant tragic hero of Condor Heroes is actually Yeung Hong. It is why Condor Heroes is not the favorite of many Jin Yong fans who like complex heroes; they mostly prefer Kiu Fung or Yeung Kor's story.
I didn't watch the entire Yang Xuwen version bc Li Yitong just couldn't pull off Huang Rong for me. But I think he did the Guo Jing I liked the most without completely changing the character as it was written although Felix Wong's is probably still the most true to what Jin Yong wrote.
