Demi Gods Semi Devils- A Review

lovefia

Posted on October 22, 2012

I forget how impactful Jin Yong’s storytelling could have on me. From the adaptations of the Condor Heroes Trilogy in the 80’s and 90’s, as well as the Heavenly Sword tale, these epic series opened me to a world of wuxia; its heroes, heroines, values and relationships. In essence, it molded my young mind and set the standard for excellence in dramas to come. It made me forlornly wished that I could read Chinese so that I may endeavor to read JY’s masterpieces. Yet, witnessing the book come to life certainly has its own merits. I may not know what will happen next, but it makes getting swept by its epic-ness all the more worthwhile.

One Hero’s Journey: Demi Gods Semi Devils

Posted on October 16, 2012

It’s mid-October and I’ve yet to write, anything. What a terribly, terribly boring lakorn world. Thankfully, upon the recommendation of J (Scribblings of a Fangirl), I picked up “Demi Gods Semi Devils” a 2003 Chinese period, sword fighting drama, and much to my surprised, got sucked into another world of adventures and heroes’ journey. Our first unlikely of heroes, Duan Yu, is mostly made up of daintiness and naiveté, yet has a fierce drive to put anyone else’s livelihood before himself. The only trouble is, he has nary a martial arts skill neither common sense. This strikes me as callous and a recipe for disaster. Who let the baby out of the carriage? But it all soon made sense to me. You see, Duan…
