This was yet another series that was based on Kim Dung's novel. Although the casts were great, it didn't make up for the slow-paced storyline. I think the bad Vietnamese translators also had a little contribution. In my opinion, I thought that the TVB's remake in 1996 was much better, even though the casts weren't as great as the 80's. However, despite my opinions, this series is definitely worth watching.
