I hope you guys all realized this is just a cleverly disguised Return of the Condor Heroes. The dead giveaway was ppl calling Bai Qian as Gu Gu. That only happens in ROCH (and this derivative work of course). I'm writing this review based on only the first 43 episodes before I gave up the series. The primary reason I gave up at episode 43 has to be the unbalanced main character pairs. In ROCH, Xiao Long Nu was someone every pervert wanted to sleep with. In 3L3W, only the crazies Yehua and Li Jing pine after Bai Qian. BQ is this really old 140000 aunty that everyone mocks behind her back for being old... OK, that is A-grade writing talent right there. Anyways, this is what I actually saw when I viewed those episodes thru ROCH vision: Bai Qian = Xiao Long Nu. Ye Hua = Yang Guo Mo Yan = Yang Kang (YG is the splitting image of YK in ROCH) When Su Su made the jump in Heaven = 16 years separation between YG and XLN Jade Purity Fan of Kunlun Mountain = Mongolian Prince's fan weapon (3L3W has a fan weapon b/c ROCH has it) Li Jing = the rapist in ROCH (the only other char infatuated with XLN) Su Jin = mix of Huang Rong (cunning) and Guo Fu (spoiled) Xuan Nu = Li Mochou (her man never showed much interest in her, causes all the aggravations and terrible things she does; there is a segment in ROCH where LMC goes around with an abducted baby, in 3L3W she strolls around with her sick child) Heavenly Lord (current) = dumb Guo Jing (he always makes terrible decisions and needed Dijun to bail him out of difficult [mental] situations) Dijun + Feng Jiu = White haired Yang Guo + Guo Xiang (they're not fated to be together, but an arc is created in the mortal realm for the pair as an extra add-on to ROCH) When BQ fell from the peach tree and YH caught her = Yang Guo chance encounters XLN in the woods of Passionless Valley Meeting of BQ and YH in sea kingdom = variant of meeting in Passionless Valley where XLN claims (pretended) she didn't know Yang Guo, and Gongsun Loue eyeing the pair with envy Yao Guang + Mo Yuan duel in episode 01 = Lin Chaoying (mischievous version) and Wang Chongyang (apathetic version) with slight difference LCY did not threaten to commit suicide if she lost, and WCY actually told her to move away upon her defeat.
