This series has the end of the Condor Trilogy. I really can't recall the first two, which I watched when I was in my early teens and thought they were just the greatest Wuxia story ever told in our modern times. Jin Yong's finale of the trilogy was a great ending and rather a sad one too and frustrating as he told us how the young hero rose to prominence too early and how his strength began to ebb gradually into an emotional mess, be it being a leader or his love lives. I must admit I have skipped quite a few episodes as they were mere long dialogues, which doesn't work in series, a ploy perhaps to prolong the series to 50 episodes. Some scenes were totally unnecessary. If they had kept it down to perhaps 35 episodes it would have been bearable. The ending is neither a happy one nor a sad one, it's just the way it is. We can't have everything and we have to choose, in the end, whatever is left, you have to accept it. I feel sorry for Wuji, such a promising lad but too soft inside, to be a leader you have to be harsh and decisive to a point of being merciless, he didn't possess any of those qualities. Still overall a good story.
