I watched the old version when I was young, I think the remake version is kinda good, although the 2 main actresses weren't as good as the old version but they do their job well, especially when 60% chinese movies nowaday are full of crap, especially remake movie.
I also prefer the 2 ML than the old version, I didn't read the novel so I'm not sure which one is more accurate, but new Tian Lei is more softer and look more like a gentleman, I never like old Yuan Bu Qu, I don't know why the old version choose the actor that looked too old when Du Bing Yan looked too young, they look so weird and look more like father-daughter or uncle-newphew than husband & wife ( in my opinion ), the new version was better, at least, when they kissed, I never feel youni feeling and thousand of llamas run across my head.
