This well known legend in the Martial Arts community is the impetus for the tale of Zhang Wuji.

COMMENTARY:
+
==Cast==
# The special effects take the form of cheesy CG and green screen. The pacing of the story drags in parts, specially early on. The kid they got to play Wuji at age 10 looks like he's 15 or 16. But any flaws in execusion are overcome by the excellent plot and beautiful actresses. Just when you get tired of one hawt actress, the story introduces another one. Before I knew it, I was watching to see how the story unfolds instead of just watching the hawt actresses. Truly, this story is a Wuxia masterpiece where romance and kung fu are intricately intertwined. To quote the great rock band Queen, "Too much love will kill you."

This show was a China-Taiwan-Singapore co-production. It aired identically in all 3 regions except for the ending song. The Taiwanese show had an ending song sung by Alec Su. There is also supposed to be an English version of the opening song. The opening song sings about a man willing to surrender to the woman who has captured his heart. The ending song which Alec Su didn't sing is about a woman who's unwilling to allow the man she loves to have another woman in his heart.
