Duan Yu is lame and the one I cared the least of the 3 heroes here but it was entertaining/hilarious almost seeing him falling in love with his 'sisters' even when I was watching the KenTong 1982 version.
Yup, *sigh* I thought JY said no more ruining of his novels and I believed him. But we have YuZheng's Swordsman. The horror of that makes this much more easy to swallow, or else I'll be swearing my lungs off with the PD alone.

I was excited when I heard there's gonna be a new DGSD adaption. Out of all the JY stories I've watched, I still think DGSD is my favorite. I've watched many of PD 赖水清 works during my Alyssa Chia fan days. I've never watched the Magic Blade so I won't know if anything goes off, but DGSD I've watched too many times. YH as pretty safe as QF.
Despite it being nice to see her reunite with YH as Ah Zhu, but ...I would love to see LSS as Mu Wanqing. I can totally see her
in the role. She's my most favorite out of all of Duan Yu's supposed sisters. I actually think that her and Duan Yu could have been a couple had it not been her playboy dad or was it his mom's fault more? I'd like to think Duan Yu would be faithful.

Since I don't see the looks, flare and out of this world charisma screen presence in Wallace, and his character Fe HongXue is one of the murkiest out there, almost an antihero of darkness (he's handicapped and named HongXue/RedSnow because of the massacre around him tinting the snow red...)with as much angst if not more than a QiaoFung, I dont see it working, esp when PD 赖水清 is imo unanimous to the most questionable castings. IF HuGe put his all in it, he has the potential to be a true to form Fu HongXue. But my dream cast will always be LeslieCheung or TonyLeung.

Richie Ren =/= Yang Guo noooo way ever
HXM might not be able to act but he can do the image (I'm so shallow so I don't care)
DGSD is definitely one of my fav JY novels even if I never read the actual book but watched it so many times already
QF is one of those main char that really stand out in memory <3
Definitely need a good actor playing him and REMAIN memorable tyvm!

I actually don't mind HXM as YG, he does fit the looks to a tee, and individually LYF is the perfect XLN, but too bad they don't look the required age difference and HXM ended up totally like a pervie ahjusshi. It's hard to get the look right, let alone asking for acting chops, that's why it's so hard to cast a Louis Cha hero, they r fantasies/fallacies.
Who will be a decent QiaoFung in your eyes?

They totally fit the roles like cookie mold but the chemistry... it just didn't work gahhh T_T
hm.. QF is very macho character kind of like a wolfish guy? And he's actually very gentleman too.. actually I think I only enjoyed one adaptation of DGSD and that was my first so figures haha. It was Felix Wong in the QF role then. I wouldn't say my opinion was very unbiased though because he sorta became QF? I don't know if that makes any sense lol again I never read the book! i think i would know if it's casted wrong though!
Yeah LC I actually have to say GJ is the easiest to cast, maybe Duan Yu. The others are kind of like what you said.

It's also why Felix is not my #1 QF and that adapt of DGSD because I saw him first as the cute monk XuZhu in the 1982 DGSD then GuoJing in LoCH1983 as a young kid. In hindsight, those r so not suitable TV for younglings. So he's forever in my mind the simpleton hero with a dash of Forrest Gump.
