Against the Blade of Honour 1995 is loosely based on a novel by Gu Long that translates into something like Curved Moon Sabre. There's many adaptations of this novel and few are truly faithful to the novel. The Director's just can't seem to stop messing with the story line when they adapt it into a TV drama. I was a fan of Louis Koo after watching The Condor Heroes 1995 so I watched this series. It's because Louis is in this series as Ding Pang that I kept watching it and I also have this series on my laptop despite the low rating. Ding Pang is such a complex character. The four main leads were pretty good. I also liked Noel Leung as Ching Ching. Eddie Cheung played a good villain in Lau Yuek Chung. I also liked Irene Wan as Chung Hor Ching, especially in the earlier episodes. Before all the betrayals, twists and turns and struggle for power. In the end, it's an okay series but not great. If you like a classic wuxia drama then you'll enjoy this.
