In recent times, the role of Tiểu Long Nữ in the upcoming film adaptation of The Legend of the Condor Heroes continues to attract attention. Recently, the project unveiled the first promotional image of the character, where Dương Quá and Tiểu Long Nữ have become the focal points that draw the most interest.
According to preliminary details, the character Tiểu Long Nữ, portrayed by the actress Vương Tử Văn, first gained attention for her extraordinary beauty, which captivated audiences during her previous roles. However, the recent promotional image of her character has left many fans disappointed.
Many netizens believe that this new portrayal of Tiểu Long Nữ appears overly glamorous and resembles Li Mạc Sầu more than the original character. Compared to previous portrayals of Lưu Diệc Phi or Lý Nhược Đồng, this version seems lacking in depth, and some even argue it fails to embody the “ethereal” quality of the character as depicted by Mao Hiểu Tuệ.
Alongside Vương Tử Văn as Tiểu Long Nữ, the role of Dương Quá will be portrayed by Triệu Hoa Vi. This actor has received mixed reviews regarding his performance as the male lead, with some suggesting he is merely a “blank canvas.” Additionally, the film will feature other familiar characters such as Hoàng Dung (played by Trần Tử Hàm), Quách Tỉnh (La Gia Lương), and Mục Niệm Từ (Đồng Tuyền). However, audiences do not seem to have high expectations for this adaptation, given the overwhelming number of previous adaptations of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
