Another recent Jin Yong adaptation with great martial arts, good casting, a plot about foreign invaders and different sects fighting one another.
This might seem a bit far-fetched, but this Korean movie also deals with issues about good governance and the difficult choices officials were faced with. For history buffs!
Both are historical shows with complex plots, smart main characters, and a great attention to detail.
Both movies feature amazing one-man-vs-a-group fights and duels, which manage to be spectacular and raw/realistic. Both have a plot about martial arts schools and China before/during the Sino-Japanese war. Both are unmissable for kung fu fans!
