| Zhao Min (Kitty Lai) was the highlight for this series for me |
Sorry for the minimum post this week, have been having three
deadlines until next weekend. This post picks up from the HSDS part 1 (eps
1-22) where Zhang Wuji (WJ, Tony Leung) finally met Zhao Min (ZM, Kitty Lai).
At first, WJ didn't realise ZM was a Mongolian royalty. He was just attracted to
her the way she was to him. WJ had collected three "girlfriends" at
this stage: Zhou Zhiruo (the Emei student), the Spider-Girl Yin Li (his cousin
from mother's side, actually) and Xiao Zhao (a servant girl who would be the
Persian Ming Cult leader later). Dressed as a handsome young man (Kitty was as
handsome as Barbara Yung when dressed as a guy), ZM was intrigued at WJ. It
didn't take long for her to reveal to WJ that she was a girl, and soon after,
she bestowed him a hairpin inside a golden box.
Innocent/ignorant WJ gave the
hairpin to Xiao Zhao, which flared ZM when she realised that he'd wasted her
intentions. She still managed to make him promise three things in return of a
healing paste for Third and Sixth Uncles (the healing paste inside the good
box, the ingredients inside the hairpin). WJ promised that he'd do the three
things, as long as they were righteous deeds and within his means. The first
was that he'd take her to the Fire and Ice Island to see the Dragon Sabre. ZM
kept the second and the third promise till later.
