Review

  • It is surprising that a plot could be centred on a TV series from 1984. In this case, Luk ding gei (1984). So for the show itself, the characters are completely fictional as Siu "Mon" Kwai-Chi (Kaman Kong) is a reincarnation of Wai Siu Bo, who is a literary figure, not factual.

    I am not usually a fan of Moses Chan's work, however the scholar he portrays, Cheung King, is completely likeable and quite appealing.

    For a contemporary series, there is a lot of action and visual effects. The somewhat petite Chu Ying-Kiu (Katy Kung) makes an unlikely hero in the story. She really packs a punch and is smart too.

    The is presented in a good pace and you don't know who is good and who is bad until the end.
