Murong Fu's cousin...the very hot one who kept on trying to get his attention.
If you watched Phoenix's 1st subbed episode....u'll know who i'm talking about.
Anyway, ppl dissed LYF's acting pretty bad..but there supposedly wasn't alot
to work with cuz the character is supposed to be bland..even in the novel.
At least that's what i'm told.
Also...according to some of the forums i've read, I think she did another wuxia
series afterwards...paladin something or other...some series based on a video game.
Everyone in the forum(i think actresses section of wuxiaworld??..not sure)
agreed that her acting had improved. Hopefully, it'll have improved even more
in this series.
Just remember one thing, there really isn't much to work with when you consider
the character of Xiao Long Nu. She was cold and bland to everyone and everything
except Yang Guo. As long as she does an acceptable job and is good eye candy,
i'll be ok with it. My main concern...biggest concern even, is that Shen Diao Xia Lu
is primarily a love story. No chemistry between the 2 main leads and the whole
series will suck.
Chemistry was what made the '83 version the best.
EDIT:: oh yeah...one thing alot of ppl don't realize is that XLN was always "supposed"
to look around 16 or 17 years old. Even when she was like over 30, her ancient tombs
martial arts keeps her youthful looking and young. Which was why Yang Guo
ever since becoming a man ALWAYS looked older than her when it was exactly the
opposite. Even after the 16 year separations, she wasn't supposed to look like she'd
aged at all...while Yang Guo was supposed to look aged from all the stress and sadness of the separation...and when he thought she was dead(the white hairs).
