------------------
I watched CJXS before TLBB, and even though they're two different stories filled with different elements, TLBB just couldn't beat the feel of CJXS. Sword of the Oulaw has been one of the best wuxia series I've seen since HSDS 2002. The fight scenes are great though limited, and there's a small use of CG's (which I love, mostly just straightforward swordplay). In addition to all this, you get Chen Kun and Li Bing Bing; a super-talented onscreen-couple that always seem to light up the screen.
My rating: 4.5 out of 5
