"My wife grew up in China with her father telling her this story. When I found this series for her, she was overjoyed, especially due to the fantastic production that Tai-Seng made. Really one of the best Chinese series you can buy, almost up there with Huan Zhu Ge Ge."

Entertaining drama on a legendary period

""The Legendary Warrior" was the first chinese TV drama I watched. At the time, I was looking for some good action and history drama, in standard mandarin, but with English subtitles. I purchased that after watching a small preview on the web. I was not disappointed. This epic series tells the story of Xue Ren Gui, a skilled fighter who rose from low-rank status to become the Tang emperor's best general.

The series is addictive, with a superb pilot episode showing what makes this show so good: a mythical context, superb fight scenes, good music. I was hooked right from the start.

The english subtitles are good. They do have some flaws, such as a few spelling mistakes, or the use of familiar english at places, but they really allow you to follow the story.

I have to mention that disc 13 has a wonderful fight scene, which is quite long, between Luo Tong and the prince. I was impressed by this scene, which is of outstanding level for a TV series.

Other than that, the picutre quality is very good, as is the sound. I hope to find other series like this one!"
