New Adaptation of Chinese Paladin 1: Sword and Fairy with He Yu and Yang Yu Tong to join April Broadcast

Following the footsteps of Chinese Paladin franchise, we have another adaptation for 2024, this one is also called Sword and Fairy (又见逍遥). Seriously? Seriously? You can’t give it a new name to stop the confusion with the one starring Xu Kai and Esther Yu aired last year? 🤦 It’s adapted from the first game and if you remember Hu Ge and Liu Yi Fei made a splash afterwards. He Yu is currently entertaining me in The Legend of Shen Li so I guess they want to keep momentum going for him, hence this is coming out now. Looks like he also has some Immortal friends coming with him to here too. Lol

Airing 4/2 ~

Chinese Paladin 4 begins filming with Ju Jing Yi and Chen Zhe Yuan

Chinese Paladin 4 (仙剑奇侠传4) has commenced filming with their leads in Ju Jing Yi and Chen Zhe Yuan and some supporting faces that I recognize in Mao Xiao Hui and Sun Ying Hao. As many might know/remember, the Chinese Paladin franchise is adapted from a series of video games also known as The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and the most famous drama adaptation being 2005’s Chinese Paladin with Hu Ge and Liu Yi Fei. In CP4 (considered the 5th installment, prequel to the CP3), the video game synopsis is described below:

Yun Tian He, a young man who had been living alone on a mountain peak, was on a regular boar hunting trip when he came across the young woman Han Ling Sha, from a clan of short-lived tomb raiders, attempting to break into his parents’ tomb, culminating in the destruction of the tomb, and setting him on a journey alongside Ling Sha to the outside world to uncover his parents’ past. On the journey, they encountered and befriended the adopted daughter of the magistrate of Shou Yang, Liu Meng Li, who seemed to have connections to Tian He’s father, and a skilled and kind swordmaster who trained at Mt. Kunlun’s Qionghua School since a young age, Murong Zi Ying.

What do you think of the cast? Would you prefer lesser known faces?
