State of Divinity 1996 is a pretty underrated series. Apart from the opening scenes of the series and some added material at the end for Yue Ling Shan, it was a pretty faithful adaptation to the Smiling Proud Wanderer novel by Jin Yong. It's actually the most accurate adaptation to date. I loved how they took some of the dialogue straight from the book. It's 43 episodes long so is pretty easy to watch. When its faithful to the novel the series does not lag. I hated the additional scenes they created and added for Yue Ling Shan at the end. So draggy... Jacky Lui played the character of Linghu Chong to perfection I thought. A pretty carefree lad with a heroic heart. Wong Wai put in a stunning effort as Yue Bu Qun. The rest of the cast were suitable without standing out. I actually liked that each Sect had its own unique costume as it help differentiate between a person of one Sect versus another. This is important which such a huge cast and variety of characters. It is what it is for a 90's series. I really wished the 90's series had the songs and music of the old 80's version. It adds greatly to the feel of the series. I didn't think much of the opening song... This series is a hidden gem and I've watched it many times because its faithful to the novel. I don't like the newer adaptations of the Smiling Proud Wanderer because they stray too far from the novel. New Jin Yong adaptations feel too 'modern' for me. I cant put my finger on why this is.

This is an example of how great acting and storytelling not only saved a series but made it into a classic. Like its main character Linghu Chong, this series is a diamond in the rough.

Even the most diehard fans can’t deny that this was a low budget production. The fight scenes and special effects were sloppy, given that TVB invested a lot more in “Journey to the West” which aired in the same year. The costumes were cheaply made and ill-fitted. The glue on the actors’ wigs were peeling off. The makeup was so bad you can actually see the pores on people’s faces.

You could ignore these flaws, if you watch it for Jacky Lui. He was, and still is to this day, Linghu Chong. It was as if the character jumped out from the pages of Jin Yong’s novel. You see it in Jacky’s expressions, the way he talked, and even in his swagger. Linghu Chong had a devil-may-care attitude that was comical, bordering on disrespectful. Underneath all that was a thoughtful and sensitive man. Jacky was one actor who could show all the facets of this character. It looked like he was having fun with the dialogues, which were witty and true to the book.

The other highlight of this series was its gallery of villains, each with his/her own distinctive style. Timmy Ho had a boyish smile that can easily turn into an ugly sneer. You get to decide for yourself if his Lin Ping Zhi was truly rotten or just a pitiful victim driven to the dark side by his enemies. Chan Hung Lit looked exactly like the sly old fox that was Zuo Lengshan. Law Lok Lam added a caring, fatherly side to the bloodthirsty Ren Wo Xing. Wong Wai, who can play both a good and bad guy with ease, was the ideal choice for Yue Bu Qun. His acting was so finely tuned here, especially his facial tics and subtle shifts in manner.

Last but not least, there was Dong Fang Bu Bai. He had very little screen time but was a looming presence throughout the series. Nowadays, it’s politically incorrect to call him a monster, but that was what Jin Yong intended him to be. The scariest monster was one that was a warped, twisted version of ourselves. It showed us what we are capable of becoming. Lo Chun Shun didn’t get nearly enough recognition for his work. His Dong Fang Bu Bai was one of the most iconic bad guys of the wuxia genre.

This story marked the start of Jin Yong’s transition away from the conventional hero and villain. In a way, it was a literary milestone. The screenwriters did right by staying faithful to it. They did add extra scenes to develop the characters. Some of it was good (Ren Wo Xing’s backstory), some of it not so good (Yue Ling Shan’s despair over Lin Ping Zhi). I like the added subplot for Linghu Chong and Ren Ying Ying, even if it came a little too close to “Romeo and Juliet.” It was nice to have that light touch of romance after so much violence and death.
