Chinese Classic Novel Legendary Twins /Juedai Shuang Jiao Gets Donghua Adaptation

Legendary Twins donghua adaptation had been finally unveiled, for many fans of the wuxia genre, this is a must-watch series as it is based on a 1966 novel by Gu Long. I have come to learn about the novel through its Chinese drama adaptation The Legendary Siblings from Taiwan which stars Jimmy Lin and Alec Su in 1999; the drama was aired in my country the Philippines under the title of The Outstanding Twins. As someone who had seen the drama, and knows how the story unfolds based on its plot, this is an interesting and rather an old school wuxia story that many Chinese anime fans will love, especially the fans of xinxia series such as Tales of Demons and Gods, Perfect World, and A Will Eternal.
