The Heaven Sword & the Dragon Sabre (2001)

People tend to overlook/neglect this version

Really good drama. The build-up for Zhang Wuji was really good and the fighting scenes didn't feel like an overload of CGI. In comparison to the 2019 version, this version has a good balance of martial arts and CGI. Also important to note that the CGI back in 2001 was not that advanced, which meant the actors had to put more emphasis on the martial arts and acting as opposed to purely relying on the CGI. Also let's not even get started with the outfits for the 2001 Wuji and the 2019 Wuji. The 2001 Wuji actually had outfits that fit his character, in comparison to the 2019 version, where the costumes looked funky for the Wuji, making him look very bland. Lawrence Ng did a really good for this role, and Gigi Lai's acting made her seem very sassy, which is a plus for a character like Zhao Min.
