So, I flipped back 20 pages and couldn't find a topic on this yet, so here it goes.

Synopsis:

Life is fleeting as the butterfly, beautiful yet transient. As legends has it, a pair of butterfly lovers reappears once more after having gone through three lifetimes of repeated pain and tears.

This time, they find each other in the world of martial arts. Liang is highly skilled in martial arts and resides in the mountains. When his master tasks him to take care of Zhu, a girl from a wealthy family who disguises as guy to herself from revenge, it sparks off the painful journey that they must go through once again.

Zhu's father, in order to pay the kindness shown to him, has betrothed her to a General Ma, although Zhu is in love with Liang. Love can fester into hate in some while in the selected few, it can lead to undying love that survives one lifetime after another.

I've watched soo many versions of this story haha

but in this version, Liang is highly skilled in martial arts? In the version I watched, he was a bookworm lol and they met at a school or something

yea that's the 1993 version starring Nicky Wu. I personally liked that version, but I'm also looking forward to this one too.

[Guest huangmeixi]

I love the idea of a collab. A hong kong star (Charlene Choi), A Taiwan star (Wu Zun) and a mainland China star (Hu Ge). All are beautiful creatures!

[leslie_lei]

I really don't get why Liang played by Wu Zun became a martial arts expert in this movie.

Because he is I quote Jamie™ "He is a bookworm" that's why when Liang fought with HU Ge's character

Liang was easily beaten. Oh well

I'm still interested because of Wu Zun..lol..

he's RIPPED mehn.... lol

and besides..THANK GOD the main girl for this movie looked better than

that of the girl from HANA KIMI..hehe...

[Guest winteryskys]

[Guest litto_gurl]

i'm really looking foward to see this movie....

wish wu zu and hu ge could have switch chracter...

[Guest hungrycollegeboy]

Can you stop perpetuating the same wrong information!!! Hero and House of Flying Daggers was directed by Zhang Yimou! Not this guy.

WHY SO SERIOUS?!?!?!

I fixed it now, so LET'S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE.

[Guest Starylosophy]

Well it's well known that Chun is not really good for his acting.

But I do hope to see some breakthrough for him here. (Which I think he would just by watching the trailers and he did loads of stunts himself without using the stuntman).

[Guest swtstar~]

wow i cant wait !!

looking forward to see this !^^

[b06]

yea that's the 1993 version starring Nicky Wu. I personally liked that version, but I'm also looking forward to this one too.

yep, that's still my favorite version....have anyone seen the animation version, it's so cute and sad too.

[bimini]

Will it be in Cantonese or Mandarin ?

[Guest huangmeixi]

Will it be in Cantonese or Mandarin ?

I'm guessing mandarin because all three leads know Mandarin but only Charlene knows Cantonese. But they'll most likely dub Wu and Hu.

WHY SO SERIOUS?!?!?!

I fixed it now, so LET'S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE.

Because I had to read that nonsense twice, and Zhang Yimou is better than this. Edited my post though.

[Guest nana544]

They make such a cute couple^_^. So, this is the movie? Cause I watch the drama and I got it all confuse^^. Cannot wait to see it^___^....Charlene is adorable and so is Wu Chun^^.

[Guest julia0228]

[fortyone.]

so is it in canto/mando? o-O

[Guest i3lu3fun]

i saw the trailer few weeks back and it was in cantonese so maybe they dub the voice. i love the version starring Nicky Wu. will give this a try too, just because wu zhun is in it, i hope he improves on his acting skill.

[mayz]
