After hearing Michelle was doing Liu Zhai, I was excited, because the stories have been inspiration to some of the most memorable romance stories to me, for example, the movie A Chinese Ghost Story, and specifically Noel & Jacky's story in Dark Tales 2. Even though she has withdrawn from this project, I just wanted to share this anyway. Noel was one of my fav ancient actresses from the '90s, but she always made me cry for her. Although it has been nearly a decade, re-watching this mv brought back some of those memories and made me feel sad. Dark Tales 2 MV feat. Noel Leung & Jackie LiuAlso, coincidentally, I just started renting the first part of the China version in Cantonese, and so far, it's very intriguing. Even though I've heard most of the stories before, watching it is different. I think their strategy was to mix up popular stars from Chinese countries, so there is a good variety in the casting as well. I read that Wallace was originally rumored to be in this series, but couldn't make it. I suppose the director still wanted him in the sequel, but he couldn't make it again! Trailer

I duno how famous this series is.. hehe... I've never heard of it until Michelle accepted it... Hmmm mebe wen I have time I will check it out as well.. Definitely! You'll see a lot of its influences in other areas. Besides focusing on the love stories between love and immortal, Liu Chai also have little morals about living life well. Oftentimes, the tragedy comes when someone becomes greedy or wishes for more and more once they get what they wish for. I found a summary of Noel & Jackie's story if you're interested in the gist these stories. Lui Jung Yan is Jackie Liu. Vivian Leung refers to Noel (her name after being Christianized). Lui Jung Yan plays Kam Yuk who is a hunter and went to hunt a tiger with his "friend." That "friend" tried to kill Kam Yuk after the tiger was killed and receive all the credit from their village... Kam Yuk fell down a hill and "bird fairy" (Vivian Leung) rescues him. Kam Yuk is taken to the valley of fairies to heal only to learn that Vivian Leung is actually the bird that he had as a pet many years ago and which he made a promise to marry her later when he grows up. They develop a relationship and stuff and but one is a fairy and one is a human so they had to go through lots of hardships to come together. Especially when the King Bird (a condor who looked more like a owl to me) loved Vivian Leung too. He thought up a test for Vivian and Kam Yuk to see wether they really love eachother. They passed it and they got married. But Kam Yuk had to promised that he will never change his love and keep the fact that Vivian being a fairy a secret. Once they're back to the normal world, Kam Yuk was beaten up because the villagers thought he was the one that backed out of the tiger hunt. And the "friend" of Kam Yuk became the head of the police force because of his heroic doings during the tiger hunt (of course it's Kam Yuk that did it). The little sister of Vivian (also a fairy) used her magic to let that "friend" of Kam Yuk tell the truth and Kam Yuk became the head police of some sort. But fame and wealth makes a man egoistic and Kam Yuk is no exception. Especially when Vivian Leung constantly embarass him with her "fairy" method of life. Kam Yuk is attracted/seduced by Yin CHi (Gong Yan Yin), a prostitute and left Vivian... Vivian had sworn to kill Kam Yuk when he failed her love and she had to do that in order to become a fairy again. But of course she loved him too much to kill him and lost all of her powers and become a bird again... Kam Yuk, awoken by this act of love finally realize that only Vivian really loved him, but it was already too late. He put on the feather coat Vivian made for him and led a lonely life ever since. Only until he gets old and his hair had turned white a bird (Vivian's true form) flies on his shoulder and kept him company for the rest of his life.

OK, i've checked a little.
I think they just filmed it this year, and it's confirmed that Esther Liu Ping Yan is involved in it. However, I'm not really sure what role she plays.
The title of this LZ series is called
Liao Zhai 2 - Fen Die (ÁÄÕ«2-·Ûµû)
Yeups, this is all i know!!
