A new series which is airing in taiwan station now.

Cast:
Yang Ye: Di Long
Shu Sai Hua: Angie Zhao Ya Zhi
Yang Se Lang: Alec Su You Peng
Pan Yu Yan: Chae Rim
Yang Qi Lang: Yan Kuan
Ming Qi: Hu Jun
Mao Xiao Ying: Rebecca Wang Yan

Ever since I came to know about the different dynasties of China, Song has been my all-time favorite. When I watched the "Heroic Legend of the Yang Family" and "The Great General" (ATV) back in 1996, this was enhanced further. That is why when I heard that there will be a new series about the Yangs, I told myself that this is a must-see, especially if the cast includes the awesome Alec and the lovely Chae Rim, not to mention the Snake Goddess Angie Zhao Ya Zhi and the ever-so-adorable Rebecca Wang Yan! However, after watching said series, my point of view had changed.

The Plot:

The plot is the honest-to-goodness story about the Yang family and their undying loyalty to the country and its useless and selfish emperor. As always, the father, General Yang, is blinded by his loyalty that he is way too strict and wooden with regards to his treatment towards his sons and the mother, Sai Hua, being the only one who stands up for her children. In this serial, the family has seven children, all male. Each son was given their role but the majority of the story revolved around the fourth son, Alec Su, who is the rebel type because he is the one being scolded the most as he has his own ideologies. The story goes on as the family faces the war and one by one, the members faltered. I don't think that I should tackle much regarding the storyline as I believe that those who have read the real story of the Yangs will have more story knowledge than I.

Additional Information:
It was said that there were 2 versions of this series. The first version was that Se Lang will die and the second version was that Se Lang lives. The one I watched was the second version. I believe it is more advisable to watch the first one as it is the complete version! I also realized during parts where there are flashbacks that they cut a number of scenes, and I was disappointed because numerous Tsu Tsu-Qi Lang-San Lang scenes were cut!

i've been wanting to watch this series but i don't understand why Alec would want to act the son who has a second wife...i hated this character the most of all the yang sons..i never liked him in any version because i feel bad for his wife waitin for him at home.. well hopefully alec can make me see a different side to this guy!

bananagirl.. dont ruin it for the rest of us.. i dont know the wholee plot about yang saga.. but i watched yang heroine(female yang clan) it was friggin AWESOME i loved it.. thats why i love carmen lee now... hehee...

hey was wondering...
i saw ep1-20 of warrior yang clan come out on yesasia... was wondering if anyone intended on buying it.. its only 20$

Which station ? When did it begin airing ?

it began airing last nov. 1 at CTV, it's from mon - fri 8:00pm - 9:30pm

i don't really like xu you peng's part here i like the part of his brothers better...the female yang clan version is also cool....

I wonder what this version is about actually. This is because as I know the 4th son should be marrying the liao princess after the yang lose the war in gold beach where 4 of the son died in the war. but from here, it seems that alex have so many love affair even before the war started.

alex just had one love affair before the war here, he like the daughter of the Pan general, who also like him. when the princess of liao met him, she also fell in love with him. when Si Lang (alex) went to war for the 1st time, there he met the princess of liao, when he came back he heard that Pan Yu Yuan got married already (but she escaped from that marraige by letting their maid marry the liao prince but alex didn't know)

Then, what about the wife that he should have as in alot of yang's series? from here, it seems that his love interest will not be his official wife and this is another modification of this yang's series.

oh sorry ..i thought the yang saga was a pretty well known story since it's been remade countless times..i didn't mean to ruin it for you..

To littlewoman:

can you tell me what happens between alec and Chae rim after he marries the liao princess? does he and chae rim get married in this version?

in this version it happened earlier, as in only the big brother has a wife, the rest is still single, from the looks of things, it seems like not all of them will die married, because the supposed to be partner of the 7th son died already, and i don't think they have put another character for him, unlike the other yang version where all of them had a wife...

bananagirl: i'm not yet at the part where he married the liao princess

wow...it seem the story has change in this one...
but i m interested in alec's role. could some one tell me with whom he will end up with and did they change the part of him having 2 wives. please i need a spoiler only regarding alec's part.

thank u

I think in the previous series, the yang family have lost the golden beach war where almost the whole yang's male died in the war before he is married to the liao princess. He is supposed to married the liao princess when the princess save him during the golden beach war.

I can't wait to watch this. Angie Chiu is one of my favorite actresses! And Alec Su is cuuuute.

Too bad the serial is focused on him... I wish it could've been like the TVB productions where all of the Yang warriors were played by famous actors...

lol.. i dont know.. but i havent seen ne yang saga except yang heroine(which is about the 7th sister... in yang heroin) it was f***in awesome.. thats why i want to watch this one now.. and then alec su is the main guy in it
so even more interseteing to watch..

Has anybody finished watching this series? Any good? Is it a serious drama? I wonder when Part 2 will come out and ??how long is the series?

Yeah, Su you peng choose to play this character because he said it would be a different kind of character for him to play and it would be challenging.

I just wonder who is the main lead here? It seems that alex said that he was choose to act as 6th brother before changing 4th brother.

wah chae rim is playing in an ancient serie with Alec So. Hmmm so this is the second serie that chae rim and alec so working together. Chae Rim is my fav korean actress. What character is she playing?

the 4th is the lead here, the story concentrates on him



she plays as the daughter of Pan Ren Mei, who fells in love with Si Lang (the 4th son)(su you peng's character)

hard2kill:

i'm not yet at that part..

Does anybody know the difference between the two versions (China and Taiwan) that are supposedly on the market?

And how it would be possible to tell?

to daybee:

in the China version they cut out a lot of Alec and Chae Rim parts and the editing in general isn't too great so sometimes the story gets really confusing because you can tell there are major parts missing..it should have 40 episodes but now it's down to 36..in the taiwanese version, they keep most of the Alec and Chae Rim parts so it's better (well if you're their fan that is)...hope that helped

I wonder why did the china version cut of these scene. Anyone know the reason?

I heard that this happen before in taiji prodigy acted by dicky cheung where there is two different actress playing the same role for china version and hk version. It seems the reason is because of the number of china's actress that should be inside a china series production.

This serie seems COOL!!!! I always love movies about the Yang's! And this time chae rim is starring in it!! COOLIE!!!

I wonder is there any cantonese version for this as I don understand mandarin.

I've seen most of the 36 episodes of the China version and quite disappointed with the flow of the story. Since an enormous amount like 4 episodes being removed, I can understand the lack of continuity in the series. Can someone please tell where I can get hold of the taiwanese version?

i watch this serie already...alec and chae rim are so cute in here...the clothes in here are not that bad either...

this is series is sooo sad, everyone dies(well not every). i knew this was gonna be a sad series but man it was very sad! i wished that Chi Lang (7th brother) had married Chu Chu in the end, but no she had to go and die aswell.
but i fort all the brothers was supposed to have wives? so how come two of them wasent even married?
anyway the china version also editted out all the Chi Lang and Chu Chu parts aswell, aswell as the Si Lang and Yu Yan parts. very dissappointed, those parts are to help me see how their relastionship developed and all that!but no it had to be cut out, anyway, i really liked this series, Chi Lang was so funni, does anyone knoe who the actor is that plays his character? it's the 7th brother.

the one who played 7 lang is 嚴崑 (Yan Kun), i also wished that both of them (Chu Chu and 7 lang) will be together in the end but she died, the part i like the most in this show is them...so sad...

here's a link for his profile in case you're interested
http://china.sina.com.tw/ent/s/2004-08-14/1018473720.html

I finished watching the China series and felt there were parts missing. I would like to see the Taiwan version to compare. Alec and Chae's acting was similar to Love Aegean Sea. I wanted to watch this series because the a lot of money went into this production and it shows. Overall I enjoyed it.

thanks for the information, does anyone know his englich name too? does he have any other series? or is this his first one?
too bad they cut out so much of their scenes, does the taiwan version have their bit's init or is that cut out too? does anyone know where i can get those parts? thanks in advance.

swt ladybird, i don't think Yan kun has English name.

his first serie《孝庄密室-大玉儿》as 順治帝
second《楊門虎將》as 楊七郎
third《 魔術奇緣 》(his charactor as Kangta little brother)

precious..

I know a little bit of chinese, but i know more vietnamese than chinese, but i cnt read it, but thanks for the links!

sorry ... i thot the main character in the yang family in the 6th son .... so this series is about the 4th son...which is acted by alec su....

i'm not sure if it actually focuses on mainly one brother, but since they can make any part a leading role, they choose to do the 4th brother instead, alec's role, but i did hear alec was supposed to play the 6th brother, but decided to play the 4th brother instead.

apparently the china version only focuses on the history side of the yang family, but in the taiwan and singapore version it's mainly about the love side, Si Lang and Yu Yun.

know where i can get an ending poiler????
or could someone tell me???

thank u

man i still waiting for the two series with alec and chea.....
what is really the plot .... no like the one with yang worrior
can wait until they will out in viet kekeke!!!!!

Well it's kind of you to you to which ending you want, because there are two endings to this series.

SPOLIERS - dnt look if you dnt want to know the ending.

highlight the text to see the content, i dnt really want to spoil it for others.

China version
Alec's character doesnt DIE but ends up standing in the greatwall of china looking back at his home country.

Taiwan/Singapore version
Alec's character DIES because he is killed by an arrow from a guard protecting his home country.

as far as i know i watched the taiwan version and alex didn't die

wahhh get confused wich one the story end like anyway...is there anybody that like to write synopsis for this drama?i hope someone willing to write it...i want to know about it more and then i can story it to my frenz + pcture more please.... '

I also fort the ending for the taiwan version was the same as the china version, so it's confirmed that the ending for the taiwan version is that Yang Si Lang (alec) doesnt die?

I like this series very much overall. And I like most of the leads too, especially Alec. Below I will explain why I disliked or like each relationship in the series. I have tried to keep spoilers to mininum. However, there's no guarentee how much I revealed. If you wan't spoilers, please don't read.

However, I have to say that the romance between Alec and Chae Rim really really annoyed me. No offense to their fans, but I just can't stand them acting together as lovers. I suppose it's because their romance is too mushy and Romeo-Juliet like. I hate mushy romance and loath Romeo and Juliet even when I read it as the original Shakespeare play. My hate for Alec and Chae Rim's romance has nothing to do with the actors or their acting skills. In fact, I thought they were really good in portraying their character, especially Alec. It's the script writer who should be blamed. (Chae Rim's character was really odd too. It wasn't a well written character as her behavior in the beginning and the rest contracts itself.) I've outgrown this sort of romance that I found it immature and not convincing. Honestly, who in their rightful sense would disobey and be ready to do AYTHING, including ready to DIE, for love? (Don't hate me if you love this type of romance. Different people have different opinions and viewpoints on romance.) If it wasn't for Alec and his superb acting in every scene, I would have skipped all those parts.

In contrast, other brothers' romances were more digestable for me. Unlike Forth Brother's romance, we don't get to see their's long. None of them lasted as long as Forth Brother's either. However, their romance never once made me feel they are dragged and unreasonable. Third Brother's romance with Mao Xiao Yin was very cute. I loved their interactions with each other. I was sorry they met each other too late and part too early.

Fifth Brother's romance with Yi Yun was very subtle. They never openly admit their feelings to each other (at least not in the version I saw), but the actors gave enough through their eyes and movements to show hints. Personally I found it the most touching romance out of all the others. Like Forth Brother's romance, Fifth Brother's romance was not a possibility, as Yi Yun belongs to the enemy. But the way they conducted it was totally different. I think their way was much more convincing. The way their relationship ended was much more heartbreaking than Forth Brother and Yu Yan's many I-love-you-so-much-that-I-want-to-die scenarios.

Sixth Brother's romance with Chai Jun Ju was nothing dramatic. There was no love at the first sight, nor death attempting to seperate them. They were just an ordinary couple, who were friends when they were young and became more than friends as they grow up. There's nothing striking about their relationship apart from sweetness. But perhaps that's the best after all.

Seventh Brother and Chor Chor's romance was bitter sweet. I didn't like it much, personally, but it was acceptable. I guess the thing I hate most about it was the fact that Chor Chor met a horrible end, and that Seventh Brother wasn't very understanding. However, there is truth in this itself, as no one can really be that understanding in the situation they faced (trying not to reveal too much here).

precious..

you know the bit where the seventh brother is about to die and he has all these flashbacks, did anyone see the scene when chu chu was on top of him? what was that all about, i just fort she tripped and he caught her or something. i really wanna see those scenes.

I really wanna c this series! It sounds intresting. But if Alec and Chae Rim r in both the Mainland and the Taiwan version, whats the purpose of making 2 version aniway? It's just so... confusing! Wat's up with them? Can't Mainland and Taiwan just get 2gether and plan out the series 2gether? It's practically just about the same. Only some parts cutted out. It seems 2 me lik Mainland is cutting scenes from alot of series. Mainly romantic scenes . Why oh Why? The scenes they cut out from the series 'R' the scenes I want 2 watch! But they still make GREAT series!!!!

I hope this is not off topic. I don't know any of the story and I just started watching the ATV version of 'Lady warriors of the Yang Family' with Carman Lee it very good. But I love Alec Su Just want to know have anyone seen of both series and which one is best to watch first. How does it compare. Once I know the story if not as fun when watching the other one. Thanks

Been waiting a while already. I know it been english sub already. Do anyone know when this series will be release in cantonese??

I just recently started watching this series on TV in LA too...i haven't been able to find much info on it on the web though...i'm still trying to look for the themes and stuff...any help please? thanks

I agree with Miss Moral about Alec Su's and Chae Rim's love scenes. It was too boring and mushy. I passed forward all their parts because they do not look good together.
