Aw man, you are so brave... if I had known this was the ending I would get, I probably would never have finished Shanghai Bund. ;o; But you are the type to go for the angst. :P

But LOL at that first screencap of Sun Li screaming -- it sort of looks like she's yawning. xD

I knew it ended badly, just not which particular type of badly.

Yikes.

I honestly cannot imagine what Sun Li's character did afterwards.

You're joking! OMG, I never finished the new SB so I didn't know that was how this version ended. The ENTIRE second half is different in the original. The ending in the original was the single most breatktaking shocking drama ending I have ever seen. This is....not it. Oh well, HXM = so insanely handsome in anything. Sun Li was miscast as Cheng Cheng. I love her, but she was all wrong for the role. I can see Yang Mi doing it much better.

I plan to watch the Chow Yun Fat version - withs2 subbed it. So I'll be able to compare.

i didnt actually weep, just swoon, because i knew the ending before, coz I watched all the previous incarnations of shanghai bund already, both the 80 versions as well as the 90s one.
but dear lord, never seen someone dying so beautifully.......I think, I have been rewatching the series 5 times already, since I got a copy in cantonese (thank god i dont rely on subs, though I must have, if it was only available in mandarin or japanese..)
HXM is simply really the most gorgeous man this decade!
