I like Alyssa & Vincent .. Butthe speed of Miracle Healer's torrent is very low.. I'm downloading from CB 1EP/Day.. Too bad ..

Magical Physician/Genius Healer is an absolutely wonderful show! I actually own 2 legal copies of it (one good quality, one compressed) and countless "other" copies of it as well. It comes highly recommended for anybody who likes drama, romance, and comedy.

I love that we now have this thread...or I hope this becomes official. Wuxia should have a series of the month on its own. It just takes your imagination elsewhere, totally bringing out your fantasy side you can't quite get with modern series. Although I do believe that wuxia is biased toward boys because the girls in them are so much prettier in ancient dresses, and modern series are more biased toward girls with all their eyecandy. With that being said....

I was soo hyped up when Genius Physician Ti Ying came out, as I watched all of Alyssa Chia's series and also most of Gao Yuan Yuan's series, it kind of left me hanging at the end like "what the hell, this series has a crazy story" feeling. Don't get me wrong, watching Alyssa and YuanYuan share all the screen time is worth sitting there for 30 hours. I also loved both the beginning and ending theme song (anyone have the full ending theme song? I've been trying to find it forever). Great series overall if you didn't have huge expectations like I had.

I'm voting for Genius Physician Ti Ying (a.k.a. Miracle Healer)

I absolutely love that series. I originally watched it Cambodian dubbed about a few years back, maybe 2 or so years. I was kinda disappointed that my mom didn't record it while we had it since we rented it. Around last year, I saw it playing on CCTV and my mom asked me, "Have we seen this series before?" I looked at it and recognized it right away, I was like, "It's that series we watched awhile back!" Haha, I remembered every single detail as I explained it to her.

Everyone should definitely watch this, it's a great show and I highly recommend it.

I might just download this and watch it all over again.

My choice is on "The Return of Condor Heroes 1983".

i'm hoping to download this and share it with my parents. I'm sure they miss some of the better TVB dramas from the 80's.

isnt the new version of Return of condor going to released in june / july sometime?

abcd99 · Post by **abcd99** » Jan 22nd, '08, 20:38

@bjharm: I doubt it. It's probably Fall 2008. For June / July, it's going to be Duke of Mt. Deer 2008.

@Everyone: Keep voting. The winner will be seeded for a month.

I watched Genius Physician Ti Ying a while back with dubbed as well... but never finished it =[
I barely remember what happened in it though... so I'm gonna vote for that to win (:

Kurotoshiro has pledged to help with the seeding.

Thank you, Kurotoshiro!

Taiji Prodigy and Miracle Healers.... oh the decisions...

I'll have to go with Taiji Prodigy, the martial arts settings is what I yearn for the most in a wuxia series.

Ueda Jiro · Post by **Ueda Jiro** » Jan 27th, '08, 18:48

I didn't enjoy Taiji Prodijy at all. I would recommend watching TVB's 1996 武当张三丰 (Wudang Zhang San Feng) starring Eddie Kwan instead. I enjoyed that one much better. I don't know the official english title for it though.

coldfate · Post by **coldfate** » Jan 27th, '08, 22:47

Ahh, I'll take your advice. I saw some parts of the new Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre and it pales in comparision to the 2000 one. So this might be the case too. Go figure =p

Hi abcd99,

Thanks for creating February 2008's WSoTM. A Wuxia series poll per month is nice; would love for it to continue beyond February.

The Return of Condor Heroes 1983 - I have not watched ROCH 83 but it is a well known story and should be seen as a classic.

Water Margin - 1 of Four Great Classical Novels, a drama adaption. Watched it 2 years ago, I think it is a nice adaptation though I have not read the actual novel. Worth watching to learn about the characters and story. Would be great if it wins another WSoTM.

Genius Physician Ti Ying - Watched the first episode or so; was not impressed. But I remember the setting was after Han Dynasty Founder Liu Bang's death and Empress Lu was in power. Would like to watch this drama again as I watched the Conquerer's Story (Liu Bang & Xiang Yu) last year. Actresses Alyssa Chia and Gao Yuan Yuan are additional plus points.

Chien Lung Dynasty - Historical drama, yet to watch it. Great if it wins another WSoTM. Would like to learn more about Qian Long.

Young Zhang San Feng - Watched some episodes. Did not like it.

As such, I pick Genius Physician Ti Ying for Feb’s WSoTM.

Too bad for the little/lack of support for historical dramas Water Margin and Chien Lung Dynasty to win.

Return of the Condor Heroes! Andy Lau before his movie career took off!

(I watched him in so many movies in the early 90s... I can't wait to see his early work!)

I've voted for Genius Physician Yi Ting.

I was just looking for the torrent and I ended up in this thread. What a coincidence!!!!!!

abcd99 · Post by **abcd99** » Feb 1st, '08, 12:56

Good morning! It seems that "Genius Physician Ti Ying" Is the winner of our unofficial Wuxia Series of the Month! The seeding shall commence soon! The runner up, "Young Zhang San Feng", will obtain automatic nomination for the next month.

Thank you for your participation. I will open a nomination thread for next month shortly.

abcd99 · Post by **abcd99** » Feb 1st, '08, 15:10

I can't find the last episode for the moment. I will search for it later after work. So, in the mean time, I'll seed with whatever I have now. Gotta go to work. Sorry.

abcd99 · Post by **abcd99** » Feb 2nd, '08, 02:22

Thank you Diony for seeding the series.

diony · Post by **diony** » Feb 4th, '08, 17:52

Sorry it took me a few days to get started -- I can't seed on the weekends or my husband gets very sad because I'm using all the bandwidth while he's trying to play his MMORPG. But I've started seeding now, and I'll be able to run until late tonight! (And all the rest of the week...)

I started a little late, but the torrent is on my server now.

Expect a burst in the upload speed when enough data are downloaded.

abcd99 · Post by **abcd99** » Feb 4th, '08, 22:13

No problem, guys. Thanks for seeding, diony & Kurotoshiro!

Thank you seeders for sharing this series.

Just making sure, it won't be worth the download if there was no ending.

I'll try to participate in this WSoTM to make it official.
