GeMi - compatibility (2)

More GeMiness! ;)

Hu Ge and Yang Mi have matching clothes. Don't their jacket look alike? ;P

same bracelet too!! ;D

Hu Ge and Yang Mi's Fate:

  • Yang Mi was very excited and happy to work again with Hu Ge in Chinese Paladin 3. She said that her heart beats faster every time she sees him.
  • Hu Ge said that he was the one who taught Yang Mi to use her seductive eyes to seduce men in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi.
  • They are both part of the 4 leading young actors (四大小生) and 4 little flowers (四小花旦) of the 80s generation and both received the highest number of votes in their respective category.
  • Yang Mi was asked to be the female lead for the game Fantasy Zhu Xian but she refused because she was already endorsing another game: Tian Xia Er. This lead to some unhapiness on Tang Ren Management and there were some negative comment on Yang Mi, saying that she was endorsing a competing game. Fortunately, Hu Ge defended her on his blog.
  • Both works too hard! They must take a rest, they look so tired! They have a minimum of 4 series and 2 movies in 2010-2011. It's too much, too hard-working!

Most pitiful character: Xi Yao

A lot of characters suffered in Chinese Paladin 3. Just like Zi Xuan who saw her loved-one die 2 times, and waited for him 200 years or Long Kui who was locked in the tower 1000 years and hoped to meet her brother again but the most pitiful of all.

Xi Yao always wants the best for Fei Peng. She thinks for him, supports him and simply loves him deeply. Fei Peng often come to see her to have a chat but they only talks about Fei Peng. Xi Yao understand Fei Peng very well but the opposite doesn't apply. Xi Yao's love was like a one-sided love, Maybe Fei Peng do have some feelings for Xi Yao but she clearly doesn't take the first place in his heart. For him, finding an opponent to fight is the most important thing. Zi Xuan's love for Chang Qing was at least returned.

Talking about one-sided love, we also have a Chong Lou who loves Zi Xuan but she only loves Chang Qing. Compared to Xi Yao, Chong Lou is lucky. He can still see Zi Xuan if he wants. She is not dead yet (but I believe she'll die soon since she was aging very fast at the end). In Xi Yao's case, she can't see Fei Peng, she can't be with him. That's why she created Xue Jian to accompany him. She gave Xue Jian her face hoping that Fei Peng's reincarnation can remember her...

Another sad thing is that Fei Peng is gone forever, he'll never return unlike Gu Liu Fang who always fall for the same woman: Zi Xuan after 2 reincarnations. Same things with Long Kui. She waited for her brother, Long Yang. Of course, Jing Tian ang Long Yang don't have the same personalities but he accepted her as his sister. She can still live with him but Xi Yao can't. She must stay on Heaven alone and after all, Jing Tian already have Xue Jian.

I really pity Xi Yao...her love for Fei Peng was deep but wasn't returned. She just bring fake hopes, She knew that Fei Peng won't be back and that they couldn't be together that's why she made Xue Jian. Although she knows it's impossible, she continues to believe in it...

GeMi - compatibility (1)

I think everybody have noticed that I love the GeMi pairing! Here is a list of
Hu Ge and Yang Mi's Fate:
  • They have paired in two series: Liao Zhai Zhi Yi & Chinese Paladin 3.
  • Both are Virgo.
  • They went to Egypt together along with Liu Shi Shi and Yuan Hong.
  • They both stared in a series where they go back in time: The Myth & Jade Palace Lock Heart.
  • In the series they go back in time, they had the same name: Chuan. Hu Ge's character's name was Yi Xiao Chuan and Yang Mi's was Luo Qing Chuan.
  • During a Chinese Paladin 3 promotion, Yang Mi was asked if Chang Qing and Jing Tian (Wallace and Hu Ge's character) existed in real life, who would she choose to be her partner. She eliminated both of them but took time to clarify at the end that Hu Ge isn't like Jing Tian in real life...
Virgo and Virgo love compatibility:
Both of them are constrained in the sexual relations and consider love as a basis for something more important - partnership in life. They are responsible, sensitive, intelligent, and take love seriously. They also share passions of the mind, and will never bore each other. The requirements in a bedroom are not too great and do not cause many complaints and criticism. Both the intense affair and the marriage are possible in case these perfectionists curb their instincts for finding fault. There will probably also be a continual contest over who is leader, but they have too much else in common for that to matter.

What I don't like about Chinese Paladin 3?

Though I really love Chinese Paladin 3, it's still not the perfect series. The love stories and sides stories are strong but the main storyline quite fail. The whole saving world thingy, Xie Jian Xian (played by Gordon Lau), the 5 pearls, are a little bit crappy.

Let's just take Qing Er (Lin Ye Ping and Zi Xuan's daughter) as example. It was told that Zi Xuan (played by Tiffany Tang) used the Water Pearl to seal Qing Er so that she could maintain her youth and wait for Lin Ye Ping (played by Wallace Huo)'s reincarnation and now since they need the 5 pearls to seal the tower so that demons can't escape, Chan Qing (played by Wallace Huo) was forced to choose between his daughter or the world saving. It was hard for Chan Qing and Zi Xuan, they finally decided to sacrifice their Qing Er but suddenly Qing Er was saved by the lotus flower o-o Can't they just say it that Qing Er won't need to sarifice?!

Another weird thing is that everybody died after gaving Jing Tian (played by Hu Ge) their powers. The first time I watched Chinese Paladin 3, I didn't even know that they died o-o The worst is that Jing Tian didn't even react to Xue Jian (played by Yang Mi)'s death at all...instead, he went to see Zi Xuan...

Plus, they make Xie Jian Xian too strong. It was like nothing can kill him so we have the poor Jing Tian who always loose in those bets with Xie Jian Xian. From the moment where Xie Jian Xian get out of the box, it's getting weird. Chang Qing who try to make the world peaceful by torturing himself...Mao Mao (played by Lam Chi Chung) exchanging his flesh for food...Don't get me wrong, I love Mao Mao and I was sad when he died. It was a tragic scene but still...exchanging his flesh for foods...it's kind of lame.

I really like the sides stories and the characters but it's the main story that bother me. Everything with Xie Jian Xian and all. When they were just travelling to get the 5 pearls, It was okay but when it comes to defeat Xie Jian Xian...it was a little weak.

Jing Tian and Xue Jian's end?

At the end of Chinese Paladin 3, we saw that Jing Tian (played by Hu Ge) asked the Heaven King to revive people who get killed by Xie Jian Xian (played by Gordon Lau) but the Heaven King said that this wish was too big. It touched the 5 other realms, the Heaven King can't have control on it. If Jing Tian want his wish to be fulfilled, he must accept to have his life shortened. Jing Tian accepted the deal but after that, when he was with Xue Jian (played by Yang Mi), he yelled to the sky: "I don't want to leave!" So will he die young leaving Xue Jian of not?

I choose to believe that no, he won't die young. He can't be separated with Xue Jian like that. Remeber that pair of jade brooches that had? The one that make them stuck together the first time they met? When Xi Yao (played by Yang Mi) wanted to give one of the brooch to Fei Peng (played by Hu Ge) and kept one for herself, she said that if those two jade brooches were put together, the man and the woman who possess it shall be together forever. In episode 36, Jing Tian and Xue Jian put their jade brooch together to make a wish, so it means that they must be together forever? It's impossible that Jing Tian die and leave Xue Jian alone!

Some people said that at the very end, we can see Jing Tian falling down and Xue Jian trying to catch him but I think it was a hug...well I hope it was a hug.I think after yelling to the sky that he doesn't want to leave, Jing Tian turned to Xue Jian and suddenly hug her because he really doesn't want to leave her.

I really hope that Jing Tian won't die young and live with Xue Jian happily. I think they have a child in the game. It's not fair that Jing Tian didn't get rewarded for killing Xie Jian Xian but instead he must have his life shortened! The Heaven King promised to grant Jing Tian one wish but now it's only Jing Tian sharing his lifes with the supposed dead people! It's like the Heaven King just didn't fulfill his wish.

Tang Xue Jian VS Lin Yue Ru (1)

I am currently rewatching Chinese Paladin 1 to try to understand the character more and find out why I didn't like both Zhao Ling Er (played by Crystal Liu) and Lin Yue Ru (played by Ady An) while they seems to have many fans. I'm only at episode 10 of my rewatching so this post is only a comparison of Lin Yue Ru and Tang Xue Jian (played by Yang Mi, in Chinese Paladin 3) at the beginning of the series, meaning I'll only consider the moments where Xue Jian was still the rich girl from the Tang's manor.

I think I am starting to know why I love Xue Jian that much and don't like Yue Ru even if those two characters are alike in some ways. For now, what I see of Yue Ru is that she's a spoiled girl who think she's the best and she's a way more stubborn than Xue Jian. Xue Jian is also a rich spoiled girl but she have cute and innocent sides. I can see that Xue Jian is less stubborn than Yue Ru, at least she cares sometimes while Yue Ru simply do her "I'm the best, I'm always right" look. Just look at their maid. Yue Ru's one is just afraid of her like hell while Xue Jian's maid have a very good relationship with her. Xue Jian sometimes listen to people and can be lovely while Yue Ru just doesn't listen to anybody. Like when she was encountering a monster with Xiao Yao (played by Hu Ge), he told her to attack the monster but she didn't do it because she didn't want listen to Xiao Yao. Fortunately that she finally decided to listen! Maybe it's the fact that Yue Ru doesn't like her father while Xue Jian just loves her grandfather very much...but I always feel that Xue Jian is nicer. It may be because of the acting and the look of the actress too. Yang Mi's cute and young look just make her cute, innocent and lovely.

Interesting facts - Hu Ge and Yang Mi kissed too hard...

Remember that scene in episode 3 where Jing Tian (played by Hu Ge) and Xue Jian (played by Yang Mi)'s first kiss happened. Actually, the filming of that scene wasn't easy. Hu Ge and Yang Mi worked very hard...lol

In that scene, Jing Tian and Xue Jian were surrounded by zombies. They ran everywhere trying to find a way to escape and accidently bumped into each other. Jing Tian profited to kiss Xue Jian so that they could hold their breath (zombies detect humans by their breaths).

The problem was that Hu Ge felt too embarrassed to kiss Yang Mi in front of so many people so he decided to fake the kiss. He turned his head in a specific angle to pretend that they were kissing...and the result of it? Yang Mi yelled out that her nose was bleeding and there were tears in her eyes LOL Hu Ge panicked and and clarified that didn't want to hit her, he just wanted to fake the kiss but Yang Mi was still smiling (with tears but still...she wasn't angry or wtv). She joked that this proof that her nose isn't fake. After the incident, Hu Ge was a little ashamed and it took them more than 10 takes to complete de scene! I wonder how many time did they actually kiss each other o-o Anyways, it was so cute even if it was a kiss fail!

Chinese Paladin 3 VS Chinese Paladin 1

Through the comments I read on the net, I believe there are more Chinese Paladin 1's fans than Chinese Paladin 3's fans. Strangely, I completely feel the opposite. Maybe it's due to the fact that I didn't play the game since I heard that fans of the game get disappointed by Chinese Paladin 3 because it wasn't as close to the game as Chinese Paladin 1 was...Anyways, for me, I think Chinese Paladin 3 was better than the first in everyways except the fact that it may be less faithful to the game.

CAST
Hu Ge was in both so it's not necessary to include him...so it would be:
Crystal Liu, Ady An, Eddie Peng, Esther Liu VS Yang Mi, Wallace Huo, Tiffany Tang, Liu Shi Shi

I think Chinese Paladin 3's cast were stronger in term of acting. I must clarify that it isn't due to the fact that I'm fans of the actors themselves or whatever. Before watching the two Chinese Paladin, I didn't know most of the actors or only barely know them. I just think that Chinese Paladin 3's stars can act very well different characters. Maybe it's due to the plot but we managed to see Yang Mi playing the childish, spoiled, playful Tang Xue Jian and the calm, mature, pityful Xi Yao. I must say that she played very well both role. Same thing for Tiffany Tang. From an innocent girl to a mature and understanding woman, she showed Zi Xuan's character change very well. Wallace Huo has the look for the clean and a little dumb Xu Chang Qing. His dumbness sometimes brings some funny moments in the series. As for Liu Shi Shi, her blue Long Kui may be a little weak maybe due to the character but her red Long Kui was very well done.

On the other hand, Chinese Paladin 1's actors...I don't know, they didn't bring me in the series like Chinese Paladin 3's do. Crystal Liu's Ling Er used to be a naive and innocent girl in episode 1 but after that, it's like she suddenly matured a lot and doesn't act cute and innocent like she did. Ady An and Esther Liu...well...I didn't really like the way they acted, they kind of overact sometimes. And finally, Eddie Peng, I don't really have any comments on him. I will say that his performance was okay to me. I didn't hate but it wasn't like WOW either.

CHARACTERS
Some characters in Chinese Paladin 3 have some similarity with the characters in Chinese Paladin 1. For example, Li Xiao Yao & Jing Tian, Lin Yue Ru & Tang Xue Jian, Zhao Ling Er & Long Kui, so let's evaluate them separately.

Li Xiao Yao VS Jing Tian
Both played by Hu Ge and they are both a little immature at the beginning of the series but happened to be the world's saviour. I somehow think that Jing Tian have more leadership than Li Xiao Yao. He always have Mao Mao with him, and is the big brother even if he was younger. Jing Tian can be serious sometimes and caring sometimes while Li Xiao Yao is just a little boy. Maybe it's because of the fact that Hu Ge was younger too lol...I should maybe rewatch Chinese Paladin 1 to go deeper into the characters.

Lin Yue Ru VS Tang Xue Jian
Both used to be a spoiled rich girl and always bickering with the male lead. Physically, they both wear red\pink. I think it's part of the acting and the look but I love Tang Xue Jian and hate Lin Yue Ru. Maybe "hate" is too much for this, but I just don't like her. She looks like Li Xiao Yao's older sister. She is older than Hu Ge and looked like it. I sympatize with Xue Jian more, I think Yang Mi portrayed a very cute Xue Jian. I just love her more and more after Chinese Paladin 3. And somehow, maybe I like how she keep kicking Jing Tian to show her overbearingness...it reminds of me XD I sometime just kick my friends like that ._. Anyways,  love Xue Jian!

Zhao Ling Er VS Long Kui
Physically, Crystal Liu and Liu Shi Shi look alike and they have the same family name :P but okay, it's not part of their characters. Regarding their characters, they both has been cut from the outside world. One lived on an island since young while the other was stuck in a sword, in the demon towel. They both is naive and innocent. Even if I really like Chinese Paladin 3, I must say that Zhao Ling Er was better than Long Kui. Well not that she is better but because Long Kui was even more boring than Zhao Ling Er as a character. Ling Er is always running away or getting kidnapped while Long Kui s always there but can't help. I must say that at least, Ling Er do something in the series. Long Kui just stay there and cry or stick to her brother when she is blue. When she become red, she attacks Xue Jian...

Now only Tang Yu, A Nu, Xu Chang Qing and Zi Xuan left. I think it's obvious that Chang Qing and Zi Xuan are more developped? They were like mains characters, they got a story while Tang Yu and A Nu seemed to be supporting characters. Tang Yu is only running after A Nu all time and A Nu is just there seeking for foods and dancing around.

LOVE STORIES
Again, Chinese Paladin 3 wins. The stories are stronger. For example, Chang Qing and Zi Xuan's undying love that last 3 lifetimes, Xi Yao's endless waiting for Fei Peng, and Jing Tian and Xue Jian's cute and funny love to make a change from the sad stories.

Chinese Paladin 1's love stories are kinda weak. Xiao Yao and Ling Er was love at first sight, then Xiao Yao forget everything and start to developpe feeling for Yue Ru. I think the whole love story is just to make the audience pity Ling Er. I don't feel any truth love between Xiao Yao and Ling Er. As for Tang Yu and A Nu, their scene are kinda repetitive. There is A Nu who keep telling Tang Yu that she'll marry him but she didn't do it and there is Tang Yu who run after A Nu to protect her and everything.

The love stories in Chinese Paladin 3 were better constructed and more bittersweet.

MUSICS
I loved the two song, Xiao Yao Tan and Liu Yue De Yu by Hu Ge in Chinese Paladin 1 but I fell in love with the OST of Chinese Paladin 3! In Chinese Paladin 1, although the songs were goods but it was the same 2 songs that was played over and over again. At least in Chinese Paladn 3, there were more songs and I love how the theme song's lyrics refer to the characters' stories! I don't know if the same thing applies to Chinese Paladn 1 since I didn't read the song's translation.

In conclusion, I think from Chinese Paladin 1 to Chinese Paladin 3, there is a big improvement regarding the cast, the characters, the love stories and the musics.

MV - Jing Tian & Xue Jian (1)


I made an MV for Jing Tian and Xue Jian recently, I just love their cuteness and can't get enough of it. Hu Ge and Yang Mi's strong chemistry and Jing Tian and Xue Jian's cute love story, I just love it! They were such a cute and funny couple! A lot of people find them boring, or think their relation is just like Xiao Yao and Yue Ru's in Chinese Paladin 1 but actually, I find them cuter and sweeter.

Chinese Paladin 3's effects on me

After watching Chinese Paladin 3, I realized that:

- mainland do have some actors and actresses who can act.

- series with good cast, strong storyline and not low budget exist.

- Hu Ge and Yang Mi are SO CUTE together!

- Tiffany Tang is a good actress, she acted so well her role although she was too young so the director was afraid that she couldn't play the role properly. I've seen the NGs, and Tiffany's doesn't look as mature as her portrayal of Zi Xuan. She seems to be laughing for everything, it looked like 2 different persons, she acts good!

- the Chinese Paladin 3 crew get along very well. I really enjoyed seeing them together.

- I would have regretted if I skipped this wonderful series only because I didn't like the first Chinese Paladin.

- I'm becoming addicted to Chinese Paladin 3 crew, hope they'll collaborate again! It would be nice if Yuan Hong and Liu Shi Shi pair up too. It would be great: Hu Ge & Yang Mi, Wallace Huo & Tiffany Tang, Yuan Hong & Liu Shi Shi!

Couple - Fei Peng & Xi Yao

Waiting for impossible...

Being the most powerful god in Heaven, he dreams to find an opponent of his level. During this loneliness, only her could cheer him up. She understands and loves him that much but does he actually know her heart?

Fei Peng & Xi Yao
General Fei Peng (played by Hu Ge) was the most powerful god. His job was to guard the Heaven's door so that demons couldn't enter. Xi Yao (played by Yang Mi) happened to be a goddess who is always there for Fei Peng., the one who understand him and cheer him up. Whenever he needs someone to talk with, he'll come to see Xi Yao. She loves him with all her heart while battle is more important in his eyes. One day, when Fei Peng was fighting with Chong Lau (played by Jerry Huang), the ruler of evil and the opponent that Fei Peng has always been looking for, demons tried to enter Heaven. Xi Yao tried her best to guard the door for Fei Peng but she wasn't as strong as him. Fei Peng finally get punished with the Heaven King and was send on earth to undergo the cycle of reincarnation. His last words for Xi Yao was only a "Xi Yao, sorry". He left leaving the heatbroken Xi Yao alone on Heaven, she knew that she couldn't go with Fei Peng so she sent a magical fruit (which will become Xue Jian) on earth to keep Fei Peng company. She gave the fruit her face, hoping that Fei Peng could remember her.

Couple - Xu Chang Qing & Zi Xuan

Love of three lifetimes, 200 years of waiting

Xu Chang Qing (played by Wallace Huo), disciple of Shu San, one day when he was fighting with the King of the evil world, Chong Lau (played by Jerry Huang), a snake came to his help, this snake is actually a young lady named Zi Xuan (played by Tiffany Tang) who seemed to know Chang Qing...

First lifetime: Gu Liu Fang & Zi Xuan
During a festival, the young Zi Xuan, descendant of Nu Wa, met a taoist named Gu Liu Fang. Knowing nothing about the outside world, the innocente Zi Xuan fall in love with Gu Liu Fang, she confessed her love to him without being shy. Gu Liu Fang, who was more exprienced than her, was afraid that she may regret so he told her to wait 3 years, if after 3 years she still love her, he'll marry her. 3 years later, their hearts didn't change but Gu Liu Fang's masters were against their relation so the poor couple decided to commit suicide together by jumping down the cliff. Sadly, only Gu Liu Fang died. Zi Xuan was able to survive due to her power as the descendant of Nu Wa, she then lived in loneliness, waiting for Gu Liu Fang's reincarnation...

Second lifetime: Lin Ye Ping & Zi Xuan
Again, Gu Liu Fang's next life, Lin Ye Ping, is a taoist. Zi Xuan must restart at 0 and try to make Lin Ye Ping love her like he did in his passed life. It was actually easier this time, he falled for her quite quickly and leaving the chair of Shu San Sect leader to be with her. They got married and she was even pregnant with his child but he didn't know about it. The problem is that Zi Xuan kept calling the name "Liu Fang" when she slept, making Lin Ye Ping to be jealous, ignoring that Liu Fang is actually his previous life. Lin Ye Ping finally died when he went to save Zi Xuan who was taken as hostage. He died in front of her eyes and his last words were: "Who is the man in your heart?" The poor Zi Xuan was heartbroken seeing her love one dying in front of her for a second time. Then, she gave birth to a baby girl and sealed her so that she could maintain her youth and wait for his next reincarnation.

Thirth lifetime (current life): Xu Chang Qing & Zi Xuan
In order to heal Zi Xuan who was ill, Chang Qing's 5 five masters let Chang Qing regain the memory of his passed lives. After Chang Qing find out everything, he chose to not continue their love. Zi Xuan respected his choice and left. Though, Chang Qing wasn't able to lie to himself, he realized that he really love Zi Xuan so he went to look for her. During their adventures together, his love for her grew up, he finally realized how much he loved her. At the end, Zi Xuan decided that they should let go of each other, she want to grant him freedom. She told him to drink the forgetful water so that they could forget each other. Both pretend to drink it but they didn't.

First thoughts & How I've fallen in love with Chinese Paladin 3

Although Chinese Paladin 1 was out in 2004, I haven't seen it before 2010. After that, I start to like Hu Ge, I find him cute, but wasn't a fan of him yet. I didn't like Chinese Paladin 1...fans, please don't kill me. I find the story go too fast, and Li Xiao Yao and Zhao Ling Er was like a couple playing hide and seek, they are never together, and it was quite similar to Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu in The Return of the Condor Heroes, so I didn't really like the first Chinese Paladin.

Then, not a long time after, I find out that there will be a Chinese Paladin 3 with Hu Ge and Yang Mi as the lead (at that moment, Chinese Paladin 3 was out in chinese but not in vietnamese yet). My first reaction was: How come I've never heard anything about Chinese Paladin 2?! After a few minutes, I saw a note at the bottom of the page saying that Chinese Paladin 2 doesn't exist. And then I started to look at the cast, I was happy that Hu Ge was there again and glad that I know the female lead, Yang Mi, due to her role as Guo Xiang in The Return of the Condor Heroes 2006 and as Xiao Qian in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi, but I wasn't a fan of this couple...yet. I knew that they once paired in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi but I didn't really know them back then. The only other person that I know is Liu Shi Shi. I've seen her in The Legend of Condor Heroes 2008 as Mu Nian Ci. Then, I didn't think about watching Chinese Paladin 3 since I barely know 3 actors and doesn't like the first season.

Next, when I was surfering on a vietnamese forum, I saw a banner of Chang Qing and Zi Xuan, and started to see people comments about them everywhere. I was like: Okay...might be a random monster falling in love with a taoist...I must due to the popularity of the game that everybody talk about it...

When it's finally out in viet, I've decided to give it a try and watch the first 4 episodes. I find that there was nothing special except the fact that Hu Ge's hair and outfits aren't as good as in the first season. But I didn't give up and continued to watch...I started to love the paring Hu Ge & Yang Mi when watching the episode 22, where Jing Tian realize how much Xue Jian was important to him, and confessed to her. I find them very cute, and want to watch their scene more and more. Then, Fei Peng and Xi Yao appeared, I find them so cute and act so good! Hu Ge was very handsome as Fei Peng!!

I became addicted to the couple Hu Ge & Yang Mi and rewatched Liao Zhai Zhi Yi for them, and rewatched Chinese Paladin 3 for a second time, where I went deeper in the character comprehension, and become obsessed by the whole Chinese Paladin 3 crew. Now I don't mind rewatching it again and again.

Why a blog on Chinese Paladin 3?

Bref presentation. First of all, I must clarify that I'm not very good in english, my other blog is actually in french. The reason why I made a blog on Chinese Paladin 3 it simply because I'm starting to be addicted to it. I love the stories, the characters and the cast.

I love Chinese Paladin 3 because it changed my point of view regarding mainland production. I'm used to be a pure TVB fans, I don't like mainland production that much cuz from what I've seen, mainland series lack of emotions and talented stars. TVB series are stronger but low budget. But after watching Chinese Paladin 3, I can clearly see that mainland can produce very good series! A series that involved funny and sad moments. Some romantic and cute love stories. The couple: Hu Ge & Yang Mi and Wallace Huo & Tiffany Tang have strong chemistry together, I wish they could collaborate again in the future.

That's all for the presentation! :)
