So… SARFT… how exactly are we going to release SO many period dramas that have started to build up. Are we going to bazooka the audience?
Zhang Jizhong is back and at it again with another Louis Cha novel. Seeking to bring actors as opposed to using ones with an already established name, Ode to Gallantry stars Cai Yida, Zhang Jiani, Li Zixiong, Xu Shaoqiang, Liu Ximing, and Ma Ling. Show Yu Zheng how it’s done, Zhang Jizhong. The classics are famous in their original form for a reason.

If you would stop wearing my favorite night gown, it would be greatly appreciated.
Surprise!! Beggar’s clothes that don’t look like they sewed together everything that was left in the scrap pile!!
Not too overdone hairstyles are nice for a change…
Also… color schemes that don’t look like unicorn fart…
Okay. Fine. I have to admit that it is a bit lacking on the pretty so far…
…but I’m banking that at least the wuxia elements will be done right…
…I mean CGI wuxia mimicking online games can only get you so far…
… and Zhang Jizhong does seem to be able to better grasp the spirit of Louis Cha’s novels.
Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
